So the cv's went out on my girlfriends runner. Im guessing it s because of the 3'' revtek lift. So my solution was TOTAL CHAOS long travel kit up front, and a SONORAN steel 1.2 rear. (later on maybe deavers and some expensive shocks, but for now 1.2) Here are some pics of the kit and our progress.





BEFORE PICS







WORK IN PROGRESS



yes she knows how to turn a wrench

 

Moar pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha i'll get some more as work progress's. Im still waitin for the shocks and fenders. And the sonoran steel rear 1.2 kit is back ordered till the 23rd :-(

 

Tonight we didnt get a whole lot of progress, but we did some stuff. 2 of the 4 mis-alignment spacers on the lower control arms were rusted together so i had to cut them off with a sawzall. ugh that took forever and a few blades. Once we got those off we installed the new steering rack bushings and re-located the bump stops from the lower control arms to the place on the frame where they used to hit.

2 of the 3 steering rack bushings



RE-LOCATED Bump Stops



FOUND SOME RUST TO GRIND AND PAINT before all the goodies go in.



Also wire wheelin and cleaning spindles for gussets and paint

 

that's a quality build you have going there, i'll be watching this one

 

niiiiice. my gf would never wnat somethin like this done to her runner. you got a SASd yota, and a long travel runner. lucky SOB

 

Thanks man.

Ya i know. She cant wait to bomb the dunes in it. we were gonna SAS it but after we thought about it. It sounded better to have a yote for both types of fun. SAS yote for crwalin and muddin. and a long travel yote for high speed shinanagins

 

Stoked to see how this project turns out! Going to be doing the same to my yota here in a couple months. Going to try fabbin up my own Long travel kit. GO GO Dunes!

 

Freakin saawhheeet!!!

 

sweet! looking forward to seeing the final prod.

 

sweet!!!

 

i really wanna see more pics, but i really really really wanna see some shenanigans. im stoked for the lake. is it gonna be done in time.

might have a couple additions as well. shoot, maybe Stephan's will be there. talked to him today so were schemin

 

right on man. thats funny how u and stevo saw each other at the beach.What'd ya think of his pimp van haha its sick!. Ya I know the front will be done by aug 1st hopin the rear will be too it should be. I hope!!!

 

Got some more done tonight. I wish i didnt have to work so i could just do this all day. haha

Ash ground down the rust. There is lots of grinding to do, tryin to get it as clean as possible.







Also installed the uniball slug adapter.







And welded on the Spindle Gussets
had to add this pic i just found in my phone. she took it when i was'nt lookin

 

i'm interested in seeing how the rear works in the dirt. This is the set up I eventually want to run. Chaplin has a rear long travel coil rear set up on his runner. I'll be watchin!

 

Ya i seen that eventually ima do the rear deaver spring swap and bypass shocks

 

So......

is it done yet?

I would like to see how one of these setups perform in person one day. they look fun!

 

just a spring pack, or 62's? its going to be some work.

 

Work as u say does not bother me I actually enjoy doing this stuff. It will be 62's with a spring under axle and probably not coil over but 2 triple bypass shocks.
We'll see... that is a ways down the road.

 

Sorry man it is not done yet i only have a short amount of time to work on this everyday after work and no time today. because i have other activities to attend to after work. Hopefully its done by aug 1st anmd we'll take some vids while we are at the Lake of Sand.
