jrod66 06-04-2008, 04:51 PM no love for the newb, your cage needs more support, and your suspension needs more triangulation! :lmao::flipoff: now go back in the shop and work on that pile, and dont report back until you have something good to talk about, and where in the fuck is the tech?:flipoff2:
TacomaJoe95 06-04-2008, 05:13 PM Lookin good, now hurry your ass up and get it finished.:flipoff2:

jrod66 06-04-2008, 11:09 PM now jake needs a build thread so that we can harass him also, neither of you get a pass, you need pirate love BEFORE you hit the trail:evil:
shaggyk5 06-05-2008, 08:08 AM Nothing to add except that that seat is AWFULLY close to the dash.
c_bass1169 06-05-2008, 08:26 AM Well I was told that I need TECH not sure if this is what I need but I'm posting this build for advice an ideas on what the hell I can do with this shitty front end till i get a 60 an any advice on finishing my front tubing an rear exo.
Let It Rip

Uzaree 06-06-2008, 01:30 PM Whats your wheel base going to be? Or did I miss that?
c_bass1169 06-06-2008, 01:31 PM hey wait i thought this thread was for tech not making arrangments for you two to hook up in the woods last time i checked deliverance was on the east coast
c_bass1169 06-06-2008, 01:47 PM my wheel base right now is 97 i hope to be at 105 when i get the 60
Nothing to add except that that seat is AWFULLY close to the dash.
Maybe he is the dude in your avatar.:laughing:
Yup looks close to me also.
TacomaJoe95 06-06-2008, 04:05 PM I will be there all week I am going down monday.:smokin:
Sweet save us a spot. Where are you going to be setting up camp? We are thinging around Buck or close to it.
TacomaJoe95 06-06-2008, 04:07 PM hey wait i thought this thread was for tech not making arrangments for you two to hook up in the woods last time i checked deliverance was on the east coast
We are taking you with us. "Now squeal like a pig boy". :flipoff2:
Trailer Guy 06-06-2008, 04:25 PM Looks good, would look better with the chick that delivers my mail driving it though, but you'll do!!!
Wondering about the thickness of the coil mounts? Be careful with the thickness of those. The heavier axles tear apart suspension parts pretty fast.
What your height and skid plate clearance measurement? Looks a little tall, might be able to lower it a couple inches by reducing size of the front leaf mounts and mounting the rear upper coil plate a little higher.
MonsterSeven 06-06-2008, 11:59 PM please tell me you are keeping that rig RHD. shitty front end? i dont understand.
samb. 06-07-2008, 01:10 AM buy some new body mounts
why ground hawgs? why make it LHD like almost every other rig in the US, why the funky little bends in the back tubing and why are the door bars so high?
c_bass1169 06-07-2008, 12:30 PM the rear mounts are still in works i would have liked to go a little lower but ran out of room when it flexes, the ground hawgs were free an they fit so for now they'll have to do once i get it on the trail an save some cash the wheels an tires will be the next thing, the bend was to be different, I like it. When i say shitty front end I mean all a 44 hd is, is a 8 lug 44 the axles are still the same as a regular d44. I plan on running bead locked 40-42 so i want the d60 up front. An as far as the leafs go there only there till i get the 60 I want to link it as soon as possible.hope that answers most of the comments an to all i really appreciate the feed back thanks keep it coming. any suggestion keep them coming
c_bass1169 06-07-2008, 12:33 PM the door bars are at that height because thats where they guard me best i still have a couple more bars to go in. the cage is on hold for a few days i'm finishing the electical and drivelines this week.
wheelerpeeler 06-08-2008, 08:12 AM Sweet save us a spot. Where are you going to be setting up camp? We are thinging around Buck or close to it.
Jo we will be at the box if I can get that spot. if u whant ther will be lots of rome for all of you.:smokin:
wheelerpeeler 06-08-2008, 08:17 AM Get rid of the 44 up frunt put the 60 in. I think it is tall to if I could I would lower my gig but the rocks preavent that.
Trailer Guy 06-10-2008, 01:00 PM Update Noob?!
c_bass1169 06-11-2008, 10:12 AM Well as for updates got my rear gears done last night almost done boxing in the frame tranny lines ran should have spacers finished today for the tranny. Yeah an my flanes should be here today for my damn drive lines so i can finish those. other then that work is slowing me down. :mad3:
jrod66 06-16-2008, 09:14 AM a few things, your door bars suck, sorry, but they dont really offer any strength, and are a bitch to get over, your bars behind the seat dont really offer any side load support, if they continued on to the frame that would be a different story, where are all of the X's? and how do your rear springs stay put? also what are you doing for rear fender bars? where are your seat belts? harnesses? what about a cowl bar? I think I saw some shocks in there, but are they even connected? these are all things that need to be addressed, I plan on coming down and offering a hand, but its hard working with the handicapped, trust me I know! :D what is your target weight? and get some new pics, something for us to criticize :flipoff2:
TacomaJoe95 06-20-2008, 10:47 AM Any updates. Come on we need more pics to talk shit about. So post up something already.:flipoff2:
TacomaJoe95 06-25-2008, 03:00 PM Oh what happen the lil newb get scared and run away :flipoff2:. Come on fawker post up something new dam it.
c_bass1169 06-27-2008, 08:42 AM Jeep went home do to reasons you all know so ya'll gonna have to be patient i'm supposed to be gettting my spring retainers done. if all goes well it will hopefully be rolling under it's own power within the next two weeks

c_bass1169 07-01-2008, 07:38 AM well under it's own power might be detained a few days i'm starting to have issues with the V-6 so i'm looking into a small block i have that i know is go an will bolt right up to my tranny. but who knows As of right now i'm working on getting every other little lose end tied up.
