Is your $XX,XXX rig sitting on landscape bricks between the jackstand and axle? Kustum as shit SON!

Just the axle I spent all my cash on jeep parts, can't waste it on jack stands.

I used all the wood I had to hold the rear axle up.

Isn't funny how much lumber we use? I always laugh when I get all the 2x4's, 4x4's, and 4x6's together after I pull the truck out, to clean up the garage. After all its Pirate"4x4" right. :laughing: And why is it that 8 Jack-stand is the min that we need. :laughing:

Sorry for the high jack.

Rig is looking:smokin:

Thanks. I think there are 9 jack stands under her right now.

I watched your rig at Glen Helen. She moves and handled great for big girl. Better than a lot of the cars out there 1/2 the size.

Thanks! Hopefully we will be ready for Vegas. I know I'm beating my self up trying to get it done.

 

[jeaton]

I better be ready by turkey day. What updates are we talking about?

LOL...well I guess you will have to visit the Toyota forum after Vegas!

The front shock mounts are in. I was able to lower the front 3" and get the shock mounts under the hood. These stupid mounts took me all day to make. I think their going to get plated, but either way their a lot stronger than the mounts that where on there.

I took a piece of 1" .250 4130. Cut it down and beveled the ends on the disc sander. Trying to keep everything square has been a joke. I don't know if the frame is tweeked or my orginal build was just that far off. Thinking it was my fab work

After flexing everything with the shock on. Looks like I will be redoing the track bar mount on the axle. I have room to move it forward and that will give more room for the bumps.

After this weekend I learned that if your track bar is hitting, just race it and after about 40 miles it will have self corrected .


Everything is looking tight. Any events on your mind for test and tuning? Or will EMC '14 be the maiden break in?

 

[hurleygo3]

No events. Plan to tune with Wayne a few times. With the drive to Johnson Valley being such a long drive (2hrs :flipoff2 I'll get a bunch of day trips out there. But my prerunning buddy went and ripped his shit all apart.:laughing:

 

[Provelogear]

I wish I could say we could tune together but sadly I think we'll be right behind Brandon!

Ya. You've got a little work a head of you.

 

[hurleygo3]

I random pic a buddy sent me. I need a little motivation to get this turd finished.

needs dimple dies

Front end is coming together. Installed a set of Poison Spyder High Line DeFender XC fenders. Thank you Poison Spyder. These things are pretty cool. These are the steel version and weigh 17lbs a fender. They also make an aluminum version. The fit and finish is perfect. Not sure how they're able to make all the brakes and angles but they look great with no visible welds.

 

[WideJ]

Looks super clean. I'm digging your new shock mounts.

 

[BHEYES]

Like the fenders! I need to get some for my daily driver. Is that picture at ride height?

The fenders are super clean. The axle is at ride height. But the body is will go up another 1.5" The tires are just sitting there.

Thanks. Did you move to Colorado?

 

[WideJ]

Yes I did. Love it here. Let me know if you want to hit up Moab!
I'll make the pilgrimage to JV once a year I'm sure.

Front end coming together. Bumper, winch and radiator all mounted. Was able to lower the winch and radiator.
