Progress Report: 4/13/06
I am getting ready to dump out some BIG $$$ for my suspension ends, I am hoping to start fabbing up my links and mounts next week :D I finished cutting off all the non-sense items, here is the pile of scrap metal I have now... http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture171.jpg I know "The pics look the same" but they aren't. Look closely, now all I got to do is break out the grinder :mad2: I hate grinding http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture164.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture165.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture166.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture167.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture168.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture169.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture170.jpg Next up: time for the grinder and start measuring! :lol: Thanks for looking and subscribing...I hope I don't disappoint |
I know what you mean about those damn cinderblocks man. Had a car collapse one time when my dad was under it. He didn't get hurt, but it scared the crap out of him (not sure if that is a literal statement or not). Good luck
Had to subscribe to this one :D |
Good luck with the coil suspension, from what I've read, its a PITA
|
No biggie...just angles and dangles.....and ALOT OF FRIGGIN MONEY!
|
I didnt want to mess with it, did a rear leaf swap on my 95 runner, and it was night and day performance wise.
|
I'm ready for a challange.
|
Looking forward to seeing the links start. :great:
|
Don't forget to POR-15 that entire frame!!!!!

Progress: 4/16/06
Alright, here we are again. I am back after a weekend out of town. I purchased parts to build the upper half of my rear suspension last Thursday(I am hoping for them to arrive tomorrow or Tuesday). I also did some measuring, I found out that the coil spring pads are in a perfect position for my frame! :D Tonight I moved away from the frame and onto the rear axle(I'm going to try to do all the grinding at one time). https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture001.jpg https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture002.jpg I broke out the torch and started with the driverside upper link bracket. I won't be needing either upper link bracket on my rear suspension. I will have 1 tower in the center of the axle. Before https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture003.jpg After https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture006.jpg https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture007.jpg I am going to have to pull the 3rd to finish cutting and cleaning here https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture008.jpg After I finished cutting the upper link brackets off, I had my way with the shock mounts. The factory location is WAY to low for me...I would have destroyed shock after shock if I would have left them in this position. Before https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture010.jpg https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture009.jpg Final product(at least until I pull the 3rd) https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture011.jpg https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture012.jpg https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture013.jpg https://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e...Picture014.jpg |
Looking good so far. They must salt the &^#* out of the roads out there, my 92 doesnt have that much rust.
|
the frame is from a 2wd(year unknown(89-95)) the axles came from up in Kentucky(louisville to be exact)
|
Mmmmm, I see a Porsche.
Looking good man. |
