Here is a picture from when I extended my dana 35 beams. Leave the radius arm pivot in the original location. Make sure you consider your camber and caster. You may need to extend it more on the bottom for your desired ride height. You will need some some of overlay, front and back where you...

I have a buddy who has a 1975 Chenowith 2rl with a 1776 he is looking to sell. His number is (858) 231-3555 In Vista CA

A gaint cage just got posted to selloffroad. Here’s the link

I’ll be in ocotillo the 28th through the 2nd camping off gas domes and fun run

Nope! I was able to get 90* to the pivot of the radius arm and beam at full bump. I placed the shock about and inch off the front of the beam and relocated my master cylinder. The giant hoops are good for what they are but don’t maximize shock angle.

Here is some pictures of some I did on my ranger.

I took it out for Halloween and had a great trip, drove the shit out of the truck for 3 days. The truck made it home with out any major issues. However, the beams cracked again and an axle seal began leaking a few days later. A few weeks ago I tore apart the axle to replace the seals and outer...

Here are some pictures from when I finished the cage a while back. I’ve taken it out a few times sense then. I managed to cut the roof off, weld the cage, paint it, killmat every square inch of the cab, weld the roof back on, install the interior, get the glass installed and make the mitered...

Finished all of the tubes, I'm not doing intrusion bars for now. I will probably add them when I tie in my engine cage but my daily driver is about to blow up and its almost desert season so the engine cage will have to wait. I also put some kill mat in on the back and sides aswell as the...

I started on a roll cage and progress has been steady. The first thing I did after pulling the interior is make a dash tube that fits snug behind the defroster. This tube will be welded to the cab on either side. Next was drilling the holes in the back of the cab, I placed the tubes 46” apart...

Looking good, i’m excited to see the front end updates.

I took the ranger out to ocotillo for the morning to give the rear suspension a test. It worked much better but was still rough and a little unpredictable. It was jarring in the rear and the bump steer from the front seemed to get me sideways quite a lot in whoops. I haven’t done much to the...

What have you guys done for shock coatings? I recently put these shocks on and after only raining a few times they are already rusting. These are old shocks and for that reason I would prefer not to spend a ton of money to cerakote them. I’ve heard of people using steel it. Is this an...

Yeah I don’t love the idea. What do you use?

Thanks! and yeah its Solidworks.
