all links in and hooked up. Moving on to coil mounts.Flex is real smooth with no binding and it seems that all is gonna clear real well.





Couple more days and the front should be done! Time to link the rear!

scuba

Square links...Thats no joke !!

Im diggin this build and cant wait to see whats next

miese

Front end is almostc complete. Getting ready for reassy. The spring perches are all done and the frame is finished(on the front anyway).

Front diff is ready for a clean and some fresh parts.


I decide the time was right so , the rear got cut out too. Frame is a little soft on the pass side so I'm gonna have to fix it too.

scuba

Jeezus, Thats whats up...

miese

So the front is pretty much complete and I got some new rubber.




Let me know what you guys think! I have to cut out the rear frame cause there is some rot to fix. I will post some pics of the rear soon.

scuba

I think it looks amazing !!

Are those tires 35's or what ?

keepin it low

miese

They are 36 12.50 15 tsl's> Yep keepin'er low.
Thanks alot on the compliment!

annoyingrob

well, you might as well link the back now too.

agusgus3

You should link the rear, dual triangulated four link.
What travel are those shocks?

Nice job on keepin er low...

Blizzard

Wow, very nice. I always thought about clearancing the front section of the frame to gain compression travel as you did...

Looks like the frame rot was worse than first thoght so we cut it out to start again. Gonna take some time. will be worth it in the end. got the crossmember in for the rear links.




Had to get some shots of how its gonna look. Will be a little sleeper on 36's.

Thought I would put up some pics of how the frame is going. New rails of 3x5x 1/4 which turn out not to really weigh much more than the old one. Definately stronger.

miese

Only 7 1/2 inches, will go with longer when the time comes. These coils were a good deal and will work for me for now.
Thanks for the compliments!

nice buildup!!!

Nice job miese. I am planning on going a similar route.
I have some jeep cherokee long arm parts I'll be using on mine and likely doing a 3 lnk in the front that is very similar.
I helped on a 6" jeep cherokee long arm build with custom arms so I think I am sold on it. I a probably using some 12" SAW coilovers on mine then chevy or f-150 springs in the rear.

miese

Thanks 934rnr. I'll be jealous of the longer coilovers. Been alot of work so far but the truck should be fun. Really if your gonna link the front just do the same on the rear with some regular toyota coils and shocks. I think the linked front and rear will make it handle and work together better.

scuba

Do it right and do it right the first time = RIGHT ON !! Im really diggin this build dude, Cant wait to see it on all fours and in some rocks..

Oh, And sleeper my ass

miese

Putting up some pics of progress. Gonna look killer!






cant wait to drive it!

miese

so Its linked now and we are on the home stretch. Gonna do the shocks and hook it all up to see how it works.

Blizzard

Wow, very nice... You'll have to beat it hard to bend that axle hehehehe
