Nice lookin rig there 4rocrunner92!!

Ya, its 5" front and rear, after dailey driving it for about 2000 miles now its about a 4" lift now which I dont mind. It sits abit tall for my likeing.

Headed to the snow this weekend. Should be fun if my clutch holds up

Little late on posting this but last weekend some friends and I went to the snow up to the top of Ice House Road to Air Port Flats. Had a great time. Nothing hard core, just some wide open throttle in the snow ruts. It was a great day, wanna say it was about 75deg's in the sun. Certainly gonna have to cut my rear wheel wells to keep the 37's under the runner.






Got alittle hung up...............


My daughter was getting abit tired of the bounceing around............

AuburnRunner

one day.... one day my runner is going to look as badass as yours

dirtoyboy

did you move your steering box?

konacaliboy

Nope, the only thing I had to get was 3/4" shorter pitman arm from Sky Manufactoring

That is the same thing I tell myself all the time! Very nice job you did!

I know this part of the forum is for SAS only, but I dont want to be starting new threads all over the board so I will keep all of my build up in one spot if that's ok with the mod's?

Here is the latest addition, it's hard to tell in the pic's but there is a slight up angle in the mounting position.






Still need to do some bracing to the frame and finish the end's of the tube. There still open now. I will be painting them when the rain quit's here. The air is to wet to try and get a half way decent paint job

Really like the kickouts in your design. Cool idea and clean fabrication.

Tofer

Not really ready to do any good rock crawlin yet. I NEED DUAL CASES!!!! Man these runner's are heavy. I have a line on a set right now for $600.00 It's just a matter of the wifey letting me spend the money. Then getting the adaptor to mate the V-6 trans. And the cases only have stock gears in them so would have to get the 4.7's also. $$$$$$$$$$

I am digging your runner. I had to use the Sky pitman arm too.

Elvota

I just got done putting in a dual crawler (4.7 in the rear) that I got locally from a friend and it has to be the best mod I have made yet.

Mating it to the V6 sure adds up though. I got the speedo cable extender from Marlin as well. That worked great and am glad I remembered to get it with the rest of the parts.

My only issue is the front case doesn't engage as positively as I want it to. Marlin sells upgraded springs to help the levers stay in position. Some say you have to pull the case to install though. You may want to consider spending the $4 on them before install just in case. Wouldn't hurt.

how is the ride with the lift is it tipsy or what how does it feel? looks ☺☺☺☺in awesome i cant wait to sas mine but not till i have the cash!

konacaliboy

It's certainly not as stable as it used to be. For the first couple hundred miles it leans ALOT!!! But now the springs have settled down and it's not as bad as it was. As far as mine goes, with the steering, you have to pay attention to the road all the time being the natural caractoristics have been changed. Wants to wonder and track differantly. Even after I did the alignment

I havent posted in a while being the last month has been super busy. Went to Moab EJS and rode along with buddy in a Hemi powered LJ. MOAB IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!! I have never been there before and I will certainly go back every year. I dont care that it's for Jeeps, it is just awsome.

Anyways, while I was gone, the guy that owed me the favor built my rear bumper and here is some "shots" of it. I can get better one's, but it's all I have for now..........







Its very simular to another guys runner here, (the autralia one???) I asked if it was cool to have one simular to his and he said it was cool.
I have a spare tire swing out for it also, but not having a spare and it blocks my licence plate I left it off for now.

faubrunner64

my god thats sexy, im hoping my dad and i will get into a project like that soon! how did the rig do on the trip? is it top heavy atall or is it prety stable?
