Used a 1" solid rod for the support. I'm going to also put a plate on the drivers side for added support for the pahnard bracket and where the steering box with go. Last pic with CAD (cardboard aided design)
Made a little more progress the past couple weeks. Gas tank installed, support hoop, and support rod for panhard arm. I also added some gussets to the point where the shock hoops connect with the coil buckets for added support. I'm changing out...
Couple more. Just need to put some exhaust hangers in. I'm tempted not to run it all the way out the back and just let it dump right there.
Last one is where I ran my fuel pump and filter.
Took the tub back off today and got working on the exhaust. I need to figure out my fuel tank set up. I think the one I have has some rust in it. It looks like the old SOR 21 gallon steel tank. Any suggestions?
For now here is some pics. My...
Been traveling a lot lately for work but a few updates. Ran the brake lines to the rear and ran the fuel lines back to where the tank will go. Put the tub back on because I need to redo a couple of the body mounts. Also got the shock hoops for...
I’m sure that the picture is deceiving as some of your calculations seem close to mine. Patriot and the trails nearby on this trail system are way more technical than I normally run, though it seems as if we have a similar trail preference.
@Mike Shull I mapped out everything on a spreadsheet I had from years ago before I started. I think it is the same one on the crawlpedia. I also tested that side at full stuff to make sure I had clearance and I'm good. I don't plan on doing...
I ran a 60 box on my 40. I used a 60 column, for the tilt, and a mini truck steering shaft from column to box. Had to move the mounts around on the column some, but didnt have to cut into the dash and it turned out really well. Was nice having...
Just realized I didn't post about the rear shocks. Lower mounts welded in. Pretty decent flex.
Anyone know where I can find some extra long extended brake lines? Preliminary measurement 22-24" long.
Made a little bit of progress. Finished welding it most things on the front end and started working on the panhard and steering. As you'll see from my first set of pics my mount for the panhard on the axles side it a little low. Apparently it...
