slipscomb 02-21-2005, 05:57 AM Looks good. Nice work. Did you do all the work yourself? What was the axle originally out of? BLK Scout 800 02-21-2005, 08:23 AM Ya thanks my friend and I do all our own work...The axle is a SII front...I moved the perches in so I could turn my 38.1450's lock to lock...This is a pic of my scout after I put 49" waggy rears in the front and 56"s in the rear. Also just finished the front bumper but still have the rock sliders to do...

BLK Scout 800 02-21-2005, 06:52 PM Well the center section is cast steel so I did'nt use anything fancy but if you were they make Wonder Rod for welding dissimilar metals... Kornfed 02-21-2005, 11:18 PM I like it. Harvester of Sorrow 02-22-2005, 07:39 AM looks good... Question though....Do you think or HOPE those ujoints will last longer painted all pretty like that? :flipoff2: Mechanos 02-22-2005, 08:16 AM Well the center section is cast steel so I did'nt use anything fancy but if you were they make Wonder Rod for welding dissimilar metals... The center section is cast nodular (a.k.a. ductile) iron... not cast steel. It is easier to weld to than cast grey iron, but it is not cast steel. BLK Scout 800 02-22-2005, 08:36 AM looks good... Question though....Do you think or HOPE those ujoints will last longer painted all pretty like that? :flipoff2: I know... I know... The ARB inspired me to do all of that painting :shaking: wish now I had'nt......So I guess I'll have to go play in the mud for a while..
