Good tech is knowing both what to do, and what not to do.

I'll leave it to you PBB'ers to figure out which category this falls into.

I feel sorry for you folks in Virginia. Keep an eye out for this one.

vetteboy79 · 05-07-2007, 01:24 PM

Also note the custom-formed steering linkage.

sharpie1k · 05-07-2007, 03:21 PM

what? gussetting is for sissies. Actually, I am making my own long arms pretty soon here (friend in town has a welder, in case you are reading my sig), and it's good to know that I can't do the worst long arm setup in the country

but in all seriousness, I'd be scared of those ones right there....

pipehitter155 · 05-07-2007, 04:40 PM

is that a stock crossmember??? like

says, "i pity da foo!!" i will keep a look out for it and make sure i throw a road flare in it if i come across it....

IROK Cherokee · 05-07-2007, 08:28 PM

The arm material looks like poop pipe as well

bholt5035 · 05-07-2007, 08:47 PM

That sucks, the poor guy is gonna hit a speed bump to fast and eat his axle. Bummer.

OlyWaXJ · 05-08-2007, 05:22 AM

Wow upper arms are in single shear....also looks like he cut off the end of a stock upper and used it.

So many things wrong with that,there's just nothing rite.

so what is the point of this abortion?

if you're building a new crossmember and links, then this "mock-up" does you no good whatsoever, except to post it on the interweb for the entertainment of others?

Poison spider doesn't sell XJ steering, they sell a TR & a gusset to go on your custom draglink...

Sorry, you "forgot" to add that when you posted the pics. Seems like every time you post something and people criticize it, it's suddenly "not done" or "not staying that way".

Oh, an Advanced Diploma. That's special. Must not have been in fabrication though...but I guess it's better than my mechanical engineering certification.

Just a thought though, for them being "not done", you sure like to talk about your skillz a lot.

I thought my body work was a couple shades short of hack but this blows my shit away truthfully, I remember the original "build" thread you posted. Many good laughs
