Yes

very nice job. Quite a few projects at once. Every one of them coming out real sweet. good luck. You should have found a power rear silde window. Or even better out of a sport trac. It would have been easy to access.

 

[boble86]

yea no junk yards around here have sport tracks.

get you some spring clips bro or you will go around a corner and out goes the spring will slide over in the bucket till it catches your bump stop. Also isnt the 6" bumpstop in the coil gonna hamper your compression travel? I think you would have better luck pulling some bronco buckets off a junkyard truck and using them up top with some J-hooks to hold the spring from falling out.

do you have any specs on those radius arms? how long are they, offset to clear bigger tires? What are they made out of? How did you do it? etc.......

thanks

 

[wes8517]

ok now they won't fall out, but won't they rattle like hell like that?

this is how jeep cherokees and grand cherokees are done

 

[Trckmagik]

Looking good. Did you not space the buckets out from the frame? You need to do this about 1.25 to 1.5 inches on both sides or your coils will sit like this / \

 

[boble86]

um i dont have any specs for the radius arms. To tell u the truth i just see **** in my head of how i want it than i make it.

 

[Chad Spalding]

I mean, what did you make them out of? How big is that tubing? What is the measurement from the front to the back? Are you putting a Rod end on it or a bushing? How sharp can you turn your tires before they hit the arms? Did you make them with adjusted castor built in? Did you just weld them straight to the cast part of the stock arms?

Thanks

 

[brnbomr]

they wont rattle with the waight of the car on them. but you might need some sort of stap

 

[nissanboy]

cherokee's and all coil sprung jeeps have a bucket with a indention that the coild seats into... not a flat plate.

 

[boble86]

new tires next to my moms explorer and got the front shot with new bracket welded up with trac bar

 

[boble86]

Well i just got done welding and i burned my self with the tip twice lol. all brackets are welded up, what do u guys think of these bars above the coil bucket. I will mount my shocks to these.

 

[rino351]

man, you're making good progress! You'll be done in no time

 

[boble86]

Here is a picture with the tires on. For now this almost all that is gonna be done to it. I have run out of money for now and i leave for school in a few days. We plan on having it done over thanksgiving break. Thanks to Trckmagik and his tires and rear axle. never would have even got this far with out those. Hopefully he wont kill himself riding the bike.

Looks good. How much lift do you think it came out with? Kind of hard to tell since your missing half the body panels.

 

[james t]

Those are my old wheels (look really hard at the bronco in my sig). As far as wheels go they are ****** because they have been on about 15 different trucks in the last 5 years.


Looks good.

 

[rino351]

Does it fit in the garage? it looks close

Your explorer is looking sweet right about now. Your chop/move window ahead project is awesome. I think I'm going to try something like that.
Don't worry about ***** wheels. If they still work good, keep abusing em

 

[boble86]

no it doesnt fit in the garage lol. Im at school now. Need to make some more money when before i come back for thankgiving so i can finish it up.

 

[green meanie]

looks really good!
did the hatch not line up well with the back of the cab as is?it needed all the extra sheet metal to fill the gaps?i was hopeing it would line up nice just as it sits!
