There's no suspension yet. But that box of heims is what's gonna make my suspension

4 link / 3 link goin to have to keep an eye on this one

 

[Xeek]

Now THIS is full width. Haha

Front is gonna be stretched 3" forward. Rear will be 2" back.

The four link truss. Gonna be removable incase I need to take the chunk out.

Subscribing--Looks like a Tank!!

 

[Xeek]

Oh yea. And I got my recentered h1s

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Those from TrailWorthyFab? I have a set of H1's that have been recentered (fellow local wheeler I bought them from did the centers) for my 6 bolt GW Dana 44.

Here's a cool idea to shed atleast some weight from the beastly heavy ass H1's, I'll be doing this for sure...

Rockwells !!!

 

[Burns]

I don't like you anymore LOL I still want to do this swap......


You will be back on my good side when you complete this and give us all the details so I can see if I still want this.....

Question 1: What is the weight of the 2.5 axle and tires?


That is all for now

 

[Xeek]

Midnight, I have the PVC inserts. I don't really like the idea of drilling holes in it to shed a pound as per that link.. other than not not much can be done. PVC is lighter than the metal cage inserts I've seen for sale tho.

Burns, what if I painted the truck lime green? lol.
Tires are around 130 I think. Wheels are 62 each. Axle debraked is supposed to be about 690 if I remember right. So with steering and all together I roughly have 2,300lbs of axles, tires, and wheels.
Once the trucks done ill have it weighed to see what the whole kabooble is.

Some more goodies showed up today. So pics coming soon

Anyone ever used dom tube as misalihnment spacers? I forgot to get some and think tube might be easier.

It will work, just keep in mind you won't get as much misalignment as the machined spacers since they don't have a taper. If you don't need a lot of misalignment then nothing to worry about.

 

[Xeek]

I actually ended up getting the misalignment spacers. Just need to return the 1" bolts and get 3/4" bolts now. Price worked out about the same anyway, so I went the correct route.

teaser

cage is being built currently

 

[Ronin8002]

Damn Freddy, Will told me last weekend that you're going big with this truck....keep the pics coming!

 

[Xeek]

Thanks man. Yea I'm definitely going big lol. I'm mad I missed the trip! But I just couldn't go, to many things going on needed to get done.

The cage is currently being bent up. My buddy has some tech guy over right now showing him tips and tricks for his new bender and the computer program.
Misalinment spacers and my bolts are in so the 4 links will be started soon also

 

[Xeek]

Oh and theres something else in the works. Something to do with lower gears

 

[Ronin8002]

I take it you won't be driving this thing on the street anymore after seeing how wide it is, lol.

 

[dersch6221992]

DANG is all i can say

 

[Xeek]

Yea james, It will be illegal in va lol. But ill have to have it plated for the trails. And I'm gonna drive it round the neighborhood and such lol
Should be 96" wide depending on how the ballooning of the tires affect it.
