I’m going to retain the IRS rear I kept the rear frame horns to strengthen and put my 6x6 trailing arms on I got the frame mostly because I wasn’t sure where to put the beams and this helped a lot.

Here is some progress mostly just cutting the heck out of it! Soon will be the actual fabrication stuff! For more updates and videos follow me on instagram @itllbfine_offroad I post almost weekly!

Yea I can see that. a bug beam would probably be the least amount of moving parts but ya know beams look cooler lol and if all else fails I chop it off and put an Arm kit on 🤷‍♂️ it’s all for fun and learning!

That’s pretty sweet! I got the fram mostly because I’m still new to fabrication got the frame pretty cheap so it’ll help with aligning thing and eventually I’ll more than likely build a tubed chassis when I actually know what I’m doing. Thank you for the motivation

It’s been 6 months and I’m finally getting to this thing picked up what I believe to be a ranger frame today. Once finish cleaning up my garage it’s time to tear down measure, cut, and booger this thing together. Also if you want to follow me on instagram for the build it’s @itllbfine_offroad.

It’s been a minute but I got some progress done. Designed the cage in cad cause I’m new to cutting and notching but luckily theirs software for that. Cut the pan out just keeping the vin and IRS section to be “street legal” lol but I’m about to move house so won’t have updates for a little bit...

More pics

Definitely a lot more welding than I anticipated. I still have to build the other arm. A bit of a learning curve. I’m used to welding handrails and small fab. As time went on the welds got better. Any tips will always be noted.

Haven’t had much time got one arm just about done. I’ll be done with the other this weekend.

The beams that will be used wait on hiems to assemble fully

That’s a lot of helpful information thank you. All the stuff I have is off of DIY off-road I got the beam plates cut yesterday and now I’m waiting for parts to weld them up. The uprights are also off that website they utilize a Chevy 2500 hub so that will be easy one I get all that cut and...

I’m fabricating a tube chassis I’m only keeping like 12” of the pan to keep the vin for it to be “street legal” so it’s definitely a project that snowballed. Like you said “gay arms” they’d be easier and less fab but hell it’s a project for fun and to push my creativity.

As much as A-Arms seems like the way to go and easier set up I want to go beams they honestly look better in my opinion and less moving parts essentially. I’m not exactly sure how they’ll be yet but anything is possible with a grinder and welder right? I saw a ranger just running through the...

Hello everyone I’m starting a build thread it’s a Baja bug build, but I’m putting I Beams on it. Just got the beams cut today on the plasma table and I’ll be doing some mole up soon. Tbh I’m kinda winging it I’ve never set up for beams so it will be interesting. If you guys have any feedback I’d...

I’ll have to get my hands on some cad files for equal length beams. And start measuring it out I think you’re right and just building my own frame it’ll save on cost at time. Thank you! I’ll post a link to a tread when I create it y'all can follow along.
