hey guys, i have been slow with my build >.< but here is a bit of an update and some pictures. I have welded my coil buckets onto the frame and mounted my spring seats onto the radius arms so i can jack it onto its own weight (kinda). ive got the steering box mocked up where it...

Radius arms are welded together and also put a bend in them for tire clearance. Because the stock radius arms are cast steal We made sure to heat them up till they were blue before bonding to the dom.

Well guys I've been gettin antsy to get wheelin so been working on the explorer. 79d60 fits perfect , ride height will allow 38" tire and will have around 7-9" up travel for nice cuison trail rider. I got my johny joints, Dom tubing and couple other odds and ends last week to build my...

Frame is cleaned up and almost ready to start burning material on(need to go Buy still) centered the axle and found where it should be. Drive shaft is questionable but I should beable to work it out. I'm wishing a 78-79 d60 housing wasn't so hard to find orelse driveshaft would be dead nuts and...

Looks like it works good, judging from the video needs some shocks, lots of rebound
