BMXking's Axle Swap 1st gen. Coils/Radius Arms!!!

[bmxking5]

I got them from Wild Horses. They are 70 bucks, but I got them on sale for 60. They are so much tougher than the stock u-bolt plates. Well worth the money IMO

I like away you tok.

 

[bmxking5]

No, it's not done yet. The weather was on and off today (one minute it looked like it was gonna storm for hours, then it would clear out for a little while). I had to drive to 4 different auto parts stores to finally get the right brake lines for the back. Also, regan (my neighbor) couldn't weld my trac bar mount til this weekend anyways.

No we're going on Saturday after I get off work. Robert is working and I'll still be at the drag strip on my field trip at the time you'd be able to go Basically, right when I get back to school (6:30pm) I'm driving straight to Robert's and we're adding that extra 3" of lift to his XJ.

 

[21robbie21]

fine then i didnt even want to go... :fire: is robert going to be able to go 35's or just 33's? im working sat 9-6 so im a no go for then.

thanks froader

Here are the radius arms. Excellent quality and they look like they'll do awesome. He also threw in the CAGE Offroad radius arm mounts for free (as well as dropping the price from 175 to 140)

Sorry to go back in time, but did cage offroad do the wrist as well? I already have a wristed arm but I have been looking into the extending them and putting on heims. Any more info would help.

Also, if you get the chance could you either post pics, or e-mail them to me, some better shots of the radius arm brackets and try to include where they are in relation to the tranny crossmember. Thanks

 

[bmxking5]

Yes, I'll get new pics up this weekend. Cage offroad didn't do anything for my readius arms. I bought them already done from plug ugly (??) on FSB.

 

[Diff Whack Daddy]

Ah, I see. I just assumed they were all from Cage since the brackets were from there. My bad.

bryan, are you driving your x tomorrow if its done when we go or are you ridin with robert ? and its gonna be me you robbie, and robert ?

 

[bmxking5]

We can't go today (the lift isn't finished..we had problems with some stuff that the p.o. must've messed up. Maybe tomorrow. Robbie is working all weekend so he can't go either.

 

[SkanlaxJMO]

[034x4]

This will never be finished.

 

[mynameisaric]

is anyone's truck ever "done"?

 

[james t]

is anyone's truck ever "done"?

Im not saying a damn thing... ive worn out several sets of jackstands so far.

 

[JS91X]

guys, it'll be done real SOON if everything goes good for bryan...or thats what he told me tuesday night

 

[bmxking5]

It would've been driving already, but I decided to pull the front suspension out again to correct my radius arm angle, where it meets the mount. That's why it wasn't there on Tuesday night...I had started pulling it off on Monday. I'm in the middle of fixing that right now, and will hopefully have atleast the driver side completely done tonight. I've already pulled out everything in the truck and cleaned it out. I'm a perfectionist and I want everything to be as close to perfect as I can get it before I start driving it again. On top of that, I've got exams, work, awards ceremony last night for school, and I've been working on the 'Noma (dropping it 3")

James - you ever find out about those trails? Robert and Robbie both wanna go tomorrow...probably sometime soon after I get off of work.

yea and they're way up in north dawson county lumpkin county so yall probably dont want to use that much gas and robbie couldnt do it in 2wd so we could go on some down by the chattahoochee river or somewhere else cause i heard chattahoochee grew up ALOT

 

[JS91X]

and i thought yall were lifting the sonoma 3''

 

[bmxking5]

Yeah, we changed our minds and traded in the 3" BL for a 3" drop kit.
