Well I have wheeled my IFS for the past 4 years now without too many issues...now it is falling apart...

The problem..



The solution...

 

ahh, takin' the lazy way out i see?

 

pardon my noobiness but what is that "solution"?

 

A solid axle swap.

Lamm

 

purrdy

 

I hate it when those bushings go out!

 

hahaha thats an extreme fix if I ever saw one..

and i think im bad when i replaced huge parts when something little breaks!

 

haha im retarded, i knew that

 

so you too marc? damn, this bushing problem is getting to all of us... had to take care of mine not too long ago.

 

hey Mark,
you wanna "fix" mine ?

 

the more i think about it this "fix" is sounding better and better

 

My buddy Steve and I got more done today...

Hung the shackle hanger






Cut the frame and welded the tubes in


Steve hard at work

 

Rover will never be the same again! So cool that you got started Marc. Nice welds.

 

What springs you using and what did you use to cut the hole for the tubes? I take it you're not going leaves in the rear?

 

Steve I am not sure on the springs yet..probably some rears with extra leaves for now. I am going to keep my rear coils, probably forever. The back works great now, it is only the front I am having issues with.

I am doing this swap on the inexpensive side..

So far-
axle $250
hysteer and hanger kit $475.
ring and pinion/master install kit $230.
wheel spacers $65.
knuckle rebuild kit w/wheel bearings $145.

Still need shocks, springs, and hopefully a locker if I can afford one.
My friend is helping me with the welding and has a plasma cutter.

 

SWEET! This thing is gonna be doen before any of us can blink.

We all knew it would come to this. No more wheelstands.....

 

he'll still do wheelstands just now they will be cool instead or frightening

 

Sweet, Marc!!

 

Ups man came 2 times today.....got my wheel spacers and my knuckle rebuild kit with wheel bearings from Trail Gear.

I still need springs, u-bolt flip kit, brake lines, and time to work on it

 

Also need to paint my hysteer...

red is not my color....it will be gold (big bling)
