dude..thats tight. i love the orange. i got orange too <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> GET IT

Sweet, nice approach and departure! I like your cage too, beefy.

what kind of axles are under that beast? like the rear fenders. did you cut them yourself? i'd like some like that. <IMG SRC="smilies/fj.gif" border="0">

what springs are in the rear. I want to move my rear back at least 5 inches

Frosty...why didn't you tie the cage into the frame? And got any idea about the weight? I'm amazed that you can get 106" wheel base out of a cruiser and so neatly tuck the transfer case up within the rails...got specs on the vehicle.....

Wow! <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

ok here is the scoop

I moved the rear axle back 10"

moved the hangers back about 5"
flipped the spings aroung 2" ranchos
and used a 1" center pin relacater

moved the front forward 6.5"

moved the hangers forward 2.5" and flipped the springs

the axles are RRd60's from Dynatrac 63" wide

the cage IS tied into the frame just hard to see in the pic

I will be Fully GETTING IT at CalROCKS so ifi you want to check it out Be There

thats crazy I was just playing with my tape measure and thinking moving my spring hangers back 5 inches my 2.5 ranchos are already flipped and considered redrilling the perch. the only difference is I'm sua and would like to stay that way. I like my current hight. Only prob. was moving the hangers back without losing lift. did you just fab up your own hangers. I'd love to see pics

btw the reason I want to move it back is my rear shaft is only about 17inches, which works as long as I drop my case 3 inches below where I want it to actually be. if I move it up any more my ujoints bind as soon as I flex. I'm hopin a longer shaft will help, plus I dont mind the extra wheelbase

there you go

moved it back 5" and in 4.5"

LOVE the departure angle and the cage action!
approach is sweet!

t-case is just about flush

you got it happnin dude!
i have moved each axle out by 3.75 inches!

Outstanding job, Frosty. Thanks for showing us how you did it.

Nice piece of work. Makes me feel even less adaquate now. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Too cool. That rear hanger is a great idea-

Looks great! Real nice fab job on the rear hangers. That's worth a six pack <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0">

Nice Rig, I see you use a tow bar. I flat towed mine to the Rubithon from Oregon. I didnt have any troubles really but wasnt too comfortably on the freeway at 65-70MPH. What are you thoughts on Tow Bars?

Dude!! Nice work Frosty <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0">

Sweet, and you haven't even had it that long.
I started my 74 in 97 and it's not done yet, and doesn't have anything even near that sic.
Very good job. You must have been pumpin some hours into it. <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0">

Frosty -

Killer work.
I have 2 questions:

Did you use a stock rectangular tubing size for the rear fixed pin hangers or did you cut them from plate & assemble?

How do the rear shackle hangers mount? Did you add something to the rear x-member? Any pics?

I am considering extending my wheelbase in the rear as well - love what you did.

Nice job....That is one sick Cruiser!!!! What are you running for meat under that thing? How does it work on the trail?

By the way, the orange is a nice touch..... <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/skull.gif" border="0">
