Well, if you get it together, ill be at the badlands on sunday. I know its a stretch, but its a thought.

 

Sorry for the delay...



















Probably my last update till Jellico, TN in 4 weeks...Wish Me luck. First Ftoy to ever run a W.E.Rock in the East.

 

Woooow! I dream to build one beast like that if someday I win the lottery...

I think Spanish people would be very impressed with one rig like that.

Very nice work and truck. Good luck in Tellico!

I bet those trick driveshafts are great for clearence. Lookin really good Mark, can't wait to start on one myself.

 

Driveshafts and finishing the wiring is this weeks project. Had to cycle the supension though before I could make the shafts.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

 

That looks great Mark! How much have you rotated the rear axle? I see that pinion angle is different from stock....

 

Much different than stock. I had to rotate the rear pinion probably 18-22 degrees (guesstimate) but it points directly at the rear output shaft.

With moving the driveline back 8" over stock it changed everything. Now, instead of my shafts being within 1" of each other (normal dual case setup using stock config) they are 8" off...longer front than rear.



No one's asked this yet..so I'll just toss it out there.

103 inch wheelbase on 35s. This might be the shortest wheelbase ftoy yet.

 

Get it done, ill be at the badlands this sunday(last sunday got canceled) with a few other well built rigs, and it doesnt look like you have much left to do to get it wheelable.

 

Man that toy is badass!
Are you actually gonna wheel it with that steering wheel or is that supposed to be a joke?

 

LOL!!!! No joke bro...

 

Wish I could..it would be nice to meet but have some commitments this weekend. Besides, haven't been the best at guesstimating time to work load anyways but have the final wiring, both driveshafts (making those myself) brake and clutch hardlines.

Hope to get it to the Roc comp course (5 minutes from my shop) Saturday.

 

I just cant wait to see the roof.

 

It's goin' on the hood for better vision Gangsta'... But it's goin'...

 

Been following this thread from the start. You get a big from me.

Your Toy looks great, and I can't belive the wheel base is 103 (Thats almost the length of a Susuki)

One question do you have any better shots of the rear suspension ?

 

Isn't 103 closer the the wheelbase of a 1st gen 4runner rather than a suzuki...

edit- oops, just noticed you said length of a suzuki, not wheelbase of...my bad.
That thing definitely looks sweet! I might have to try to make it down to the EC4RJ to check it out!

 

 

more..







And the final product of the inboard..
