whats wront with the battery or the trans mount. i know the steering needs work, but that is getting it on and off the trailer for now. im looking for a pitman arm with moredrop. it will clear the springs and the spacers are more for the angle on the joints and keeping them off the arms. it...
yep thats the crutch. whenever my ex used to make me nail down a time, it never worked out. once i was out riding, called and said "im on my way to the trailer", 10ft later down the trail i ripped the steering box completely off the frame. sheared 3 bolts off and broke the ball joing. i had...
time to take this thread back to its roots. i finally ogt it done. the steering is not terrible, but its not what i wnat it to be, but it should tide me over. i think a pitman arm with a little more drop will make it ok and practical for hard use, but i havent found one yet. i plan on going...
that link job looks cool. kinda tall looking, but it may be the angle. wish i had the t&m to go that route now. ill just be happy with it moving again, gonna try and get the front end back under it this week and have it rolling again, gonna tackle the steering later do we should have plenty...

i cant promise the build will go quickly though. on of the ideas we have now for the steering is to go full hydro and use a single ended ram for the draglink. still brainstorming though so we might do something...
that jackstand is very spooky. thats why i tokk that particular pic. there is about a 1/4" between the top of the stand and anything else. didint really do that until all was out from under it so we are being super careful while we put it back together so we can reposition the stands to a...
it can be done. the steering is tricky for leaf sprung apps though. i am doing this swap now. look for build thread started by crapzup to come up soon. if i remember i will link it in this post.
