Butt Ugly Cruiser has been in my possession for about 6 months.

Here is the build-up thread from the Hoosier Cruisers Clubhouse area...

Nice. Did the 14 bolt/Toyota flange work out ok.

How long are the rear lower links in that pic?

 

[LukeZero]

The flange worked out awesome- Jesse at High Angle Driveline made it.

The rear lower links are 34" long center to center. 1.75" DOM Chro-Mo, .250" wall.

What sort of joint are you running in those things? I was looking at them and wasn't sure. It looks like they might be bushings and sleeves on both ends? It looked a little different like there was some anodized parts there.

At this point- the ends are poly bushings. When I have the money they will be Johnny joint type ends.

Barney (Barneys 4x4) seems to think it will flex a bunch more than I think with the poly bushings. We'll see. Maybe it'll flex well- and still maintain some high speed rigidity.

EDIT: There is one 1 1/4" rod end at the top of the rear.

new pictures today in the buildup thread.

Looking good. Lots of tube and notching flying around there. Ditto on the camera - some of those pics give me a headache.
