nice axle shafts. was that the rear drive line or the front? i Built a Square D for my brother crawler and has never broke yet. its been in several competitions has maximum slip. they dont work for the rear if your streeting it cause you cant balance it. but you could pogo your whole truck on it with no probs.

 

[Foxracin]

Rear shaft.

Heres some updates to get everybody back up to date.

About ripped the stock bumper off.

So I said ill try making one.

Gussets on the inside.

Got it painted and put on. Its head one with 12 half inch bolts so it shouldnt be going anywhere. Its all 3/16 plate I cut out with a angle grinder. lol

So then needed one for the front so started on one for it. Still havent finished it yet so no finished pics yet.

Then went wheeling at Callalantee in Mountain City, TN with some buddies. Had a blast.

My buddy had a little accident on the big water fall. lol

I had to crawl up the jeep to hook the winch controller up. Once we flipped the jeep back down couldnt find a way back down. lol

I made it up and out of the waterfall without winching or flipping. lol. Dont think anybody got it on video though. But if I find one ill post it.

Other random pics from other trails.

Night wheeling.

Managed to bend a leaf spring pretty good.

Now got to get some leaf springs swapped in and finish up the front bumper and a few other little things by this coming weekend for the URE trip.

Very nice work on the bumper, and glad you didn't break anything too major before this weekend.

 

[Slowlyvverot]

stuff looks good man. Im looking forward to checking it out in person next weekend. what are your plans for finishing the front bumper?

 

[Foxracin]

Grind/Clean the welds up and some sort of smallish stinger.

 

[gmanpaint]

Bumpers look bad ass. The leaf spring just looks bad....LOL.

Nice work man.

 

[willied]

Great work on the bumpers. You really do beat the living crap out of that thing.

 

[Xeek]

lol at the spring.
how much you charging for bumpers?

 

[Foxracin]

how much you charging for bumpers?

Too much.

 

[Xeek]

trade for red/orange colored flowmaster 40 that fell off and dragged down the road at 50mph for a mile? lolol

 

[Foxracin]

Sounds familiar.

 

[DR_APLET]

great job with this build. keen eyes, a good sense of economics all mixed with a DIY spirit. when will the Hydro Assist be coming?

 

[Foxracin]

Its on the list. After I get a real power steering pump though.

 

[DR_APLET]

Did you break it? been quiet on this post.

 

[Foxracin]

Nothing serious. Just another driveshaft. Thats 3 or 4 now. Going to have to do something about that. lol

Did a little more work on the bumper Saturday. Almost finished with it. Got a little more grinding and welding to do and wire up the lights. Also took the roof rack off.

 

[Foxracin]

Well here are some pics and vids from the Uwharrie ride july 4th weekend.

My first attempt at on the hard line at kodak rock didnt turn out to well. Got on top of it and it started running out of gas. Acted like it had a carb on it. lol Was only getting air to the fuel rail so I dont know what the deal was. It was fine all day the next day though.

Second attempt crawled right up it since it stayed running. lol
