progress is lookn good Beard. Just wish i could start mine and get into it and be done. but i gota play the crapy waiting game. but its all happening sooner or later

 

As always Zach, its lookin' damn good. Seeing your's is a refreshing reminder (to me) as to just how tight everything fits! And I still have a steering ram to add into the equation. I'm scheming pretty well though I might surprise a few people when mine comes together. Your setup is definitely encouraging, as mine will be very similar. I am abit suprised you originally had bushings on both ends of your panhard. I wouldn't think they'd allow (enough) of the movement needed in the panhard.

 

I have/had a JJ on the other end and it never wore out

 

Yeah its crowded in there, but i got it all to fit and no binding when i travel the axle myself.

I had a poly bushing and a JJ at the frame end. I think the JJ allowed most of the movement.

 

looks good!

 

I might get the cell mounted and hooked up tonight, we will see.

 

Sweet I'm intrested to see how your going to mount everything.

 

Yes I am hoping it just goes together, but it wont be that easy I am sure. LOL

 

i might of missed this but where are you putting the cell

also how big of a hole did you put in top of the cell..


you got any hook ups up there with powdercoating?

 

he is mounting it where the spare tire used to be.


I do here in Louisville. One of my co-workers/boss owns a powder coating & plating shop.

 

Fuel cell is going all the way in the back to even out the weight distrobution

Powder Coating? What are we powder coating?

I am primer and painting everything. Rust goes right through powder coating and personally i think paint holds up just as well.

I hate winter, I know its hard for you to grasp but it does not take much to have rust here. Bolts everything can go from nice in the fall to rust in the spring.

 

theres something thats getting overlooked here, like I said, a JJ has a poly bushing. I would try to pry more, but its really irrelevant now. but like I said, the system has been used for years...

 

ive had good results with por 15. i know it is expensive but you only have to do it once.

 

For those interested, the part # for the transfer case shifter to transfer case bushing is 3L5Z-7335-AA.

 

Yeah I know it works great but I dont want to spend anymore money. I already have this tractor implement paint I am going to use.

 

its gonna be huge zach. looks good so far.
whens mine?

 

I thought mine was next
