THE NUCLEAR UNICORN

Very nice work. Nice edges on the plate work they look laser cut.

On our beam setup we added weld washers to the inside to add room for articulation so the shock ends doesn't bind. Not sure if you're having similar issues

I had planned to add weld washers to the inside of the tabs. After a ton of time and measurements over the weekend... I got it to cycle the entire 14" without any binding! I'm going to weld the washers on the outside now.

HAHAHA!! Yep! 3.0" 14" Coilover.

Thank you! all hand cut on the bandsaw and then finished on the DA sander and 12" bench sander.

What is the limiting factor for your up travel is it the driver side beam hitting the bottom lip of the frame rail? Or U joint bind?

The limiting factor on my setup is the beams hitting the frame rail. My u-joints are heavily clearanced to accept maximum bump travel. This time around I may run RCV axles. Not too sure though. The bronco gets roughly around 18" of usable front wheel travel.

I plan on grinding out the u-joints as well any issues in the passed with the u-joints after material is removed from them?

I have not experienced any problems as of yet. I strap the front right around 18" of travel.

Slowly cranking along on the unicorn rebuild. Shock mount-tabs are almost completely finished up. Once that’s finished up, I’ll slowly tie up the dash and mount a few of the accessories. At the same time I’ll be in the process of designing/building a tube core support that will be tied into the engine cage structure, that will be 100% removable with grill, headlights, etc… #builtnotbought #onemanshow #garagefab #americanmade #builtintheusa #kingshocks #moruzziracemotors #toyotires #threatmotorsports #familyfunhaver #prelander #badlinesgoodtimes #cleandezert

Updates.. I ordered an OCHO Fab steering kit. And a (similar to this) 4L80 to Ford Reid case transmission from Maximum Transmission.
