Here is a pic of the drivers side. All ready to go!


A front view.


Started the rear tonight....


THe rear axle out from under the rig. GOt a lot of work left to do on this.


That is the way I left it tonight. I will update again with more pics as we progress .

 

The front still needs the Shock towers and brakes added to it, but those will wait until the weekend when we are finished with the rear.

 

Looking really good

 

Looks good Will. Wish I was already back moved back to the beach to help you out. Guess when I get moved back down there in june, we can modify install you new roll cage.

 

Great job Will. Can't wait to see that thing in May and wheel with you.

 

Lookin real good.

 

This thing is gonna be awesome on the trails. Will, did you go HP Elocker on the front end?

 

Thanks Mark

its a LP elocker. I picked it up over a year ago pretty cheap, so I can't complain.

 

No complaining allowed! How was the weekend?

 

LOL Thanks Mark, The weekend went good. It is now sitting on its own. BUT even though it is on tires now, there is a lot to be done. All the brakes need to be done and the rear is just mocked up for now. so that will be taken back apart for final welding and assembly. The front brakes need to be worked in and the drive shaft needs to be completed for the front. I will be working on it in the evenings this week to get some of these issuse cleared up. Hopefully, it will be on the road next Saturday. Next Sunday it will be on the beach for a test run!

 

KICK ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome Will. The little stuff takes the longest but man, you are making some progress...The Beach? I'm a jealous bitch.

Are you having a shop do the shafts or doing them yourself?

 

yes, I have missed out on the beach this year because of this build up.

I am making a square shaft for the front. I picked up the material last week for $10

 

A man after my own heart. Mine's a square one too "this year" isn't Beach season just gettin' started for you guys?

 

Finally got the rear all tacked up and together.
I still have to take the rear apart and weld it up completely and then run the brakes, then on to the front drive shaft. It should be on the road this weekend!
Here is a couple of teaser pics


The rear axle is only in for measurement purposes and will be taken back out and finalized before it moves!

 

looking really good...

 

Looks good Will.

 

Damn, why don't work fast on it or something! I'm very impressed to say the least.

Chris

 

that looks awesome!

why are the inside U bolts more squarish the the outside ones?

 

Looks nice man!! I wish my rig looked that good. :-)

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Thanks.

Unfortunately, those are the ones that were sent to me. I have another set I am going to use, I just didnt have them right then. It will all be right before it leaves the garge!

LOL thanks chris.
I am quickly running out of time on this build. Not sure if I will get the elocker wired in time for Tellico this year, but I will still be locked in the rear.
