Ok, pretty much forgot about this thread but time for an update I got a bulk of the fab work done accept for the shock mounts. All the frame plates and spring/ shackle mounts are in. Had a bit of a tough time settling on where I wanted to put the frame tubes but after some calls and a few people...

I got one bad picture lol but the IFS is out!!!

This is looking sick!!! I’m wondering about your shackle angle? Is is 90° when the wheels are off the ground, then when u drop it is tilts back like that? I’m just not sure what you are looking for when u mount front leaf springs. I’m currently doing my first sas and I’m not quite doing the...

Ok!! The real work has started, finally got the truck in the shop and started taking her apart. Started on the rear end mainly because I’m going to need the rear leafs for the front, nothing to difficult so far but the torsion bar bolts where stuck pretty good but ended up getting them off...

Huh, I’ve heard of people doing 2.28 in both cases but I’ve never thought of it being too low when you have 5.29, super cool And you are going to run 5.29s? Are u on 35s or 37s?

I hear you, practice practice practice going to the metal yard tomorrow to get more coupons! Thanks for answering my newb questions, you’ll see me back here if I got anymore lol

fucking rad!! So remind triple sticks is 4wd / 2wd Front case rear case? Or is it something else, also what gear ratios are you running in your t cases?

Ok I see, but as far as bead profile for overhead and vertical is it normal for it to be a little more crowned up in the middle because of gravity?

Makes sense, but how am I able to tell if I got proper penetration if I’m going overhead am I just looking for a flat toe like I am doing on a flat surface? And what kind of pattern are you doing in the over head position?

Hey guys so while I’m getting ready to do my SAS I’ve been practicing my MiG welds, I felt like I had it dialed in decently while doing flat lap joints on 3/16 steel but as soon as I went to try some vertical and upside down welds I just kept getting saggy nut sacks :/ I understand that you...

Little side project today! I don’t have a large sturdy bench space and I needed a vice for ya know vice stuff for the sas so I found this anvil / stand thing and I figured it would work and I could practice welding before I work on the truck. I used 3/16 for the mounting plate and some old...

I think it’s a semi truck shifter lol I could be wrong

Super rad truck!! I’ve only seen bags on a few trucks. why didn’t end up going with bags?

Makes sense :) can’t wait to see more!!

Hell ya!! Really curious about the front shackles Is it shaped like that because you don’t want to move the front hanger to get a better shackle angle or for something else?
