Just got done going through your build. Looks like you did a great job on the rust repair.

Looks like you are getting alot done.

 

Thanks for the feed back everybody, i haven't got much done lately. I'm just waiting for Praxair to get my plasma cutter in, it should be here tomorrow!

yeah i know what you mean once i get my plasma cutter im gonna re do the mounts or i might try to make another one out of some thicker material.

 

Got my plasma cutter today! The ifs massacre can begin.

 

well i got some stuff done in the last little while here's some pics

I decided to do the rear lift first to get used to using the plasma cutter

brackets tacked up



Then welded


And today my new/used 3rd member came in


Tomorrow i shall finish up the rear lift; get the axle put back together ect. and this weekend hopefully i'll get the ifs brackets cut out.

Rock on

 

Good job man off to a good start.

 

well, i got lots done this weekend. i got all the ifs brackets cut out, front spring hangers tacked in place and the shackes tubes are in. took a few pictures so i'll try to get them up soon.

 

Glad to hear its moving along can't wait to see pics.

 

Waiting.

 

Lol sorry, i had to do a bunch of studying this week. Im in trade school and i had a stick welding theory final. Ill get the pics up asap

 

Just wanted ya to know somebody was paying attention LOL.

 

<<<Watching as well! lol.

 

Thanks guys, i really need to balance out the picture taking/ working ratio lol.

i know its not much but here's a picture i had on my phone.


im actually way past this point. Ill take more pics tomorrow.

 

well here's some more pics of my progress on the sas.
front spring hanger partially welded in place


rear spring perches tacked on the axle


Spartan installed in the rear 3rd. ( i wanted to do a step by step of how this was done, but of course the camera was no where to be found until after i was done)



aaaaaaand last but not least the front axle


I know, i know my garage is a disaster lol

 

RIGHT ON, AARON! Looking good! way to knock it out!

 

moving right along, I may have missed it but what gears and what size tires are you gonna be running? Looking forward to more progress.

 

looking good man. i have one other question, do you know the specs of the tubing tht goes through the frame?

 

I'm thinking of either 33's or 35's haven't decided yet and im on stock gears for now.

Twisted- Ill try to get those specs to you tomorrow

I'm also probably going to run into one problem once im finished. That being that my truck is going to be a few inches too tall to get out of my garage, im thinking ill have to get suspention winches...does anybody know another way to compress the suspension that much?

 

Well i got the runner sitting on its tires again! Looks like it should just clear the garage door.

Left on the to do list:
-Set rear diff angle
-Install shocks front & rear
-Extend rear driveshaft/ front 10" slip
-Finish hooking up the steering components.
-WHEEL IT!
Pics coming soon

 

Great news man looking forward to pics,
