Ok I'm sitting here looking at your post, I dont know anything about fabing a new rig. But I must say anyone who puts in TWO kegs of beer behind the front seats is just plain amazing. I could never drink that much in a year! YOU the MAN!!!!

 

Those are the gas tanks.

 

 

 

niiice.. the Violator!!!

 

ok...

air shocks came in today.....

having trouble centering the axles with the 4 links.....

any tricks?

 

non adjustable ends makeith for the suckith....

got to cut it in half and start over anyway... the rhino grill buggy has already been done...

have you already made the links? or are you about too? measure from corner to corner... then a plum bob and your eyeball...

 

I made all of the links.
The rear is in and looks good.
The front has just the lowers hooked up and I'm about to drill in the mounting bracket for the uppers.

The front lowers are exactly the same lenght, and hooked up to the other side of the mount that the rear lowers are hooked up to. (lower arms meet under the chassis on the same piece of box frame)
The front lowers are mounted to the front axle exactly the same on each side.
I can't drill the mounts for the uppers because the axle is like 3 inches over to the passenger side??????????????????????????????

I need to take a few hours and measure everything again...

The front lowers are like 6 feet long and that lessened the triangulation. That could make using them to center a little touchy but 3" ?????

that didn't make any sence... I know...

 

well... at least you don't have to worry about the axle pokin holes in the oilpan anymore. Nice!

 

another thought, clamp/secure the uppers in place, check for center of the axle to the frame and see how your lowers sit.

 

you might want some more trianglization... lol.. but once you get the uppers in.. the axle should be good.. you might get some steer out of the axle when it flexes is all...

but 3"... you dorked something up.. let me guess the chassis is crooked..

 

well Pat, you know how I like to get to drinking when I'm in the garage...




not to self: important measurements should be made early in the day...

I dorked something up.... found it ... fixing it...

 

I dorked something up.... found it ... fixing it...

but not elaborating on it???

 

no, your grill looks/looked better than the orange one above. redo it the same.... only do it right this time!

 

got it fixed and slung on the tires and air shocks
it sits at 6'-10"
leans to the passenger side until I sit in the driver seat
I did a front Hi Steer with tripple sleved tie rod and 1-1/4" heims
I now see why all those guys use a rear sway bar.........
tomorrow is going to be a big clean up day

 

Your'e not wasting anytime on this. It looks like the front will reach out and grab the wall pretty nice. How is the rear stear going?

 

I need to do some work on that axle back there. Need's a new tie rod and the brake conversion needs to go back to 4 lug so that I can keep the rotor on the drive line side.

I will do a write up on this hi steer, it involves cutting the pinion flange off for clearence. And attaching the tie rod on top of the knuckels......

I'll get my wifes camera and take some better pic's....

 

Might be the picture, but it looks like you have about 2' of tube in front of the engine???? Why the long nose, if that's what it is?

Eidt: oh, or maybe those are the air shocks.... dman polaroid pictures.....
