5.3l, nv4500, np205, centered rea mini hybid driveline length questions (2 Viewers)

Thats upside down and not fully welded yet.

I like the look of the 10" aquila tub, I like about 14" the best, but in the end you might as well go big.

The icon uses the 18" stretched tub. I think it's a little too long, but here we go. I'll put in a heep style seat and have some leg room back there.

I'll weld in some more plates, prime and paint the frame the cut the body in two.

I am following this build thread and you posted that your running a 5.3 with a 4L60 and toybox with a 10" tub. Does that set up work well with 10" stretch? I'll be doing a build with 5.3 and a 4L80 and an Atlas. Just trying to decide how much of a stretch to do.

When did you get your toybox? I've been trying to find one but Marlin is only taking names for them right now.

Clutch lines !#$&^ not brake lines

What do think. Now is the time to internal slave

Ram Clutches hooked me up with a hydraulic TO bearing for a custom NV4500 to LS install that there was no room for an external slave. Give them a call and they can set you up. They have good support.

I think it would be ok with heat shielding. On mine the exhaust pipe right off the header runs parallel to the slave cylinder 1/4” away, been two years daily driven without issue. I put the same heat sleeve over the hose.
I just recently wrapped the exhaust with header wrap which I’d recommend for your setup, and a simple heat shield under the slave using the lower mounting bolt would be easy and effective

 

[aandy767]

Matt, thanks. I thought it would be ok and my buddy said, "do you want to enjoy driving it? or fitting it."

So I pulled that out and went by Summit to get the howe Internal slave. looks to be an easy setup.

Howe, has a chart on the install sheet about master size and travel 3/4" bore master should be fine. he cautioned me about over extending it. I told him i planned on a limit bolt to stop the pedal.

 

[aandy767]

I think they have Ram at summit also. but what caught my eye, was a manufacture reply stating the 3/4" bore master would work.

 

[aandy767]

Howe internal slave works just fine.

Need ideas/help. tilt column has washer/wiper hazard switches. Lights will be left of the steering wheel AC vents shown in pic. single din alpine halo 9 spod's look like a good option---have rear electric diff

Im not a purest by any means, although I usually dont care for anything other than the factory turn signals...that said those look bad@$$!...nice job on the build!

Thanks

Lots of work left to do. But it can make it to Sonic or any shopping malls.

 

[aandy767]

Putting a sway bar and bump stops in the rear. The ORI struts don't need bump stops. But the tire is hitting the wheel well in the back. I put more pressure in the rear struts, helped with body roll. But, I'm putting in a sway bar and going to lower the pressures again.

Pretty darn good road manners. Off road still sorting it out.

 

[aandy767]

Tube doors and rock sliders. I really wanted to make the doors. But, we're going to MOAB next week.

Hells revenge, Fins, poison spider, and top of the world, more today.

I could be the before advertisement for Lock tight. several trail repairs, and a front pinion seal.

Working like a champ. had some rubbing in this photo, need to move the horns (tire rubs them). Touched the sliders a couple of times damaged two or three rocks with the rear bumper.

I am so happy with how this thing works.
