Finish this damn thing already! It’s only been five years!

That is a good idea, something to consider for sure. I believe that’s how BRS does their kits with a 7/8 heim. I got this current idea from the btf arms I had on my ranger. Eventually I would like to build uprights, at that point I would come up with something better and probably run the...

Actually my 🍆 size, length and girth… you can decided which is which lol

Got a few things done last night, camber was set and so was the toe should be in the ball park but will have to check when the weight is on the tires. Made some steering stops for the rack out of delrin, if I go to aftermarket wheels I’ll be able to get a little more turning radius but it works...

Well everything is painted and starting to go together. Still a ways to go but happy with the progress so far!

Thank you! Yes I drilled them out for 3/4” bolt however that only took up about half of the tapper, I stated making some very small tapered sleeves to make up the other half of the tapered portion. If I can’t make it work I will drill it over sized and press in a sleeve like I did For the tie rods.

Well finding time to get out to the garage is tuff with a 2 month old but getting as much done as I can. Got the tie rods, upper arms, lower arms, shock mounts and all the frame stuff welded. Still a ways to go but plugging away!also bought some fiberglass from Hannemann, super cool guy and only...

7/8” shank on the hiems wouldn’t have left much meat on the 1” tubing

Little bit of progress, got the spindle tie rod mounts drilled and sleeved for 5/8” bolts, steering rack clevis’s built and tie rods built. Clevis is a mix of 3/16” and 1/8” cromoly, tie rods are 1” .250 wall sleeved with 1.25” on the rnds

Well being back to work and having a newborn at home is making it challenging to get out to the garage. I was able to get my axle shafts extended, probably going to vibrate or brake 😂 have some ideas if that’s the case.

Lots of pumpkins to carve this year?!

Small update. I got everything mocked up on the driver side, upper, lower, shock mounts, bump stops. Next up is extend axles, limit straps, mount resivors and tie rod then figure out some kind of engine cross member. And then a whole lot of welding!and in regards to my chamfered bump pads once I...

And skinny 35’s will be in the future…

I’m am stupid enough to do this much work and still run 33’s, you already knew that though lol I did the chamfer on them because it’s so thick, and that side will be up. So once it’s welded it will flow better instead of just a sharp edge or a giant weld bead. Only took a couple minutes to do...

Small update, got the upper shock mounts figured out and was able to lean the coilover back a bit more. Every thing cycles much better now. Got the bump stop tacked up as well and made a bump stop pad out of some .190 chromoly. Been working on the passenger side only since I knew this was going...
