hears my build thread finally, been on the site for 6 years and never a build thread build alot of shit. just never posted it.
please be as cruel as expected on pirate :flipoff2:
hear she is in stock form
ok not stock, 2" body lift 2" spring spacer lift and a lot of cutting to clear 33"s
It wheels great on the dirt trails with a little mud hear and there, it dominated my buddy's little jeeps and broncos. I was so light i went every wear. pissed them off several times.
but then we started playing on rocks, my IFS don't like the rocks
so after a few diffs I was getting pissed...
Friend of mine (that don't know anything about 4x4s :homer gave me a set of scout axles and a D300 for free!!!!!!!!!!!
some one left them on his property behind his garage :flipoff2: don't that make ya sick!!
I'm going with a 1 link in the front for cheap simplicity. I already have a free monster joint off the steering linkage of a backhoe
needed some misalignment spacers so i made some on my super custom
lathe
hey it fuckin works :flipoff2:
cross members a piece of 2x3 .25 wall tube. its already in the Kick i didn't get a pic... its just tacked in there for now I don't know wear the output of the transfer case is going to end up so I'm kinda waiting...
hate to build it then have drive shaft Clarence problems.
not knowing what else to do about the 1link cross member i broke out the plasma and started slicing up the Ifs crap.
recycling some of the stock crap maybe?
Just for shits and giggles a pic of some airbrushing my little brother did for me.
thats all I got for now. I might be able to work on it after work sometime this week. but I doubt it. let me know what ya think!
Yea there isn't much of a budget for this. I got my wife talked in to letting me spend the $ for a doubler and gears for my zuk. And thats about it the rest it up to me. I'm just trying to use all of the left over parts from past builds.
The 33" BFGs that are on kick now are great tires and are still like new. But there alittle small.
I have a set of 35" KM2s with 40% tread fronts are a little chopped but there 17"s. I'm debating on selling the 33"s and buying wheels with the cash for the 35"s
The wheels I have now won't fit with out a spacers anyway. There hitting the brake calipers.
Any one got an idea what I would get out of a set of 33" 9.50" BFGs?
Looks good keller, the supense is killin me though.
Who did you buy your doubler from? that machine work is top notch and I want to know who builds those. I sort of take it from your post in Inphobic's thread that you bought one from them?
yes I bought the kit from Inphobic's machine shop friends. He wasent really trying to sell them cuz of lack of popularity. But I talked him in to making one for me.
Jakes a stand up guy and is truly in this to benefit the Suzuki community. He will probly get some heat for no yello star. But when your only selling 2 doubeler kits a year. Only make $100 off each one and the star is $500...
Thinking about pluming my brake pedel for brake the front only and get a second master cylinder, mount it in the center council for a hand brake in the rear.
That would get me a easy cheap way to for front and rear digs. This is far far from street legal so no worries their.
I have seen that done before and while it works. It takes awhile to go though all the motions. Stomp on brakes hit like lock relese brake then press In clutch hit gas. Turn corner then Release line lock.
Or just grab the "Ebrake" Handle and rip it! Never even having to come to a full stop.
If you want rear cutting brakes, why not a cutting brake intended for a sand rail/dune buggy? You have full normal braking unless you pull the lever, super simple.
Travis..

I could have quite easily built off the stock cross member and it would have worked fine.
but my 1link will be mounted to this cross member as well so I had to bring the beef.
