Truk lewks gud!!!111!!1one!!1!!

 

so you said your shiping frieght or are you driving it to me sense you sold it to me for a box of donuts

 

i saw shane took it for a spin too! lol

 

He did! And if he gets on he can explain the ride quality from someone other than myself lol

 

haha im flippin jealous! glad the death shake went away i'm sure it rides like any 3/4ton truck meow!

 

Not quite 3/4t mang... It's only a 1/2t right now... We'll see how long it lasts

Yeah it's so much nicer than it was last week. Still needs a panhard, got some slight movement side to side still, but otherwise just the standard bump steer, even then it's not bad... Once my hydro goes on, it's gonna be a smooth biotch! lol

 

about the lights,
Warn has some pretty sweet remote ones in 6 1/2". wires only from the lights to powersource. and im 99% sure they use an h3. My friends runnin them on his rubicon and loves them, bit spendy but worth it for quality imo

1/2 ton really?? thats shuhweet mang!

 

Yeah 1/2ton d44 up front and 31 spline 1/2 ton (basically f-150 narrowed) rear.

I'm gonna look around for some 6in or bigger housings to put my h3 HID kit in them. Buddy sold me them for $20 cuz the company sent him the wrong ones lol

 

just checked the warns they run like $170/pair in that 6 1/2"

 

Haha... Not droppin that much coin on aux lights. I still have my PIAA's I'm gonna be toying around with here shortly.

If anything I'll find some 6-7" lights on CL, just for the housings

 

Welp, it's been a few days time to update!

So my buddy and I cut out the brackets for the panhard, did some measuring, and tacked it all up. Checked it all, then welded it out both lower and upper panhard brackets, then did the panhard itself. Popped it in, took it for a test run down the road. HOLY HELL.

I couldn't believe how responsive my steering is now. Just turning flat pavement in his shop lock to lock was a dead give away it was working. Leafs no longer shift and everything is nice and tight yet not limited. Running 5/8" heims on both ends with a custom misalignment spacer (basically bushing sleeve material since I don't need the angle from the heim that a standard misalignment gives you). A lot of stress has been taken off the steering box now, and I have no bump steer or wobble I was having in the previous week or two. Runs from outside the frame to the passenger side spring plate since on the waggy 44, there's barely enough room for a shock mount on that passenger side. Matched my angle of the drag link at 4.5* and it's sitting directly over the axle where it should be. I'll get some pics up tomorrow before I head out to go camping and probably snap some pics there as well!

Just had to throw that out there, bump the thread

 

Oh, and a teaser from my last couple posts in the thread...

 

i wants pics of panhard bar.

 

x2

 

For some reason even your truck itself looks bigger.

Lower mount:



Upper mount:



Overall:

 

I thought the same thing. I honestly think that because the front axle is sitting farther up, it "stretches" his truck out.

Trevor, your truck is growing dude. What are you feeding it?

 

Trevors' truck eats it's Wheaties every morning.

To be honest, I think its the headache rack, stretched and widened wheelbase and the wheel/tire combo/ratio... But I see what you mean lol

otherwise looks awesome trevor!

 

 

LMAO!

 

BAAhahahaaaaa!!!
