Got a really nice traction bar and SOA axle sitting on the floor of my shop. Took both axles off to paint the frame tomorrow. I don't think I'll be putting them back on. Might just put the SUA axles on.

I would have gladly purchased those form you but my broke ass is luck enough to get the Ruff Stuff kit.

I haven't seen the mythical Luke wheel at all. Just a bit of posing flex shots of his trailer queen is all. Does he have enough "seat time" to deserve that rig of his? :flipoff2:

I might be interested in the trac bar.

Now that we've finally seen you wheel, there is no irrationality of the fear of you being a danger to others. :flipoff2:


You oughtta at least have a warning label for your passengers.

I haven't got those brown stains out of the passenger side seat cover yet. Does anyone know of a good cleaning product that removes fecal material?

Go 3-9, then wait two years without a winning season. Pay lots of money.
 
Ok back on topic, kinda. My sliders need to be attached to the frame. I was thinking of bolting them on but I have misgivings about bolts and my propensity of breaking s***. I am seriously considering welding them on. I'll drill a few 1/2 inch holes in the plate then plug weld them and then weld along the perimeter. What's the preferred method?
 
I've seen them both ways. Welding is probably sturdier- but also much harder to un-do, should you ever want to. Using good bolts would still be plenty strong and allow you to remove them for repair at a later date. On Daves sliders we made for his FJC, there are 8 M12 bolts holding each one on and we picked it up with the forklift with no visible stress/ flex on the bolts.

If I did go with the bolts I'd use 4, 1/2" bolts with nylock nuts along with another 1/4" backing plate. I know that would be overkill but I need to make it "Phil Proof" (Part breaking fool proof).

If that isn't strong enough- you're doing something seriously wrong!
 
weld em

use a scab plate, turn it 45* so its in a diamond so you dont make verticle welds on the frame. and use a gusset on each arm.
 
Do neither...cut your rockers and be done.
 
The body on my 40 is in great shape and I want to keep it that way. So no trimming body panels for me. I fabbed up both sets of sliders yesterday and am very happry with the result. I just have to weld the backing plates on and bolt them up. I'll be fitting the trac-bar kit later this week if all goes as planned.
 
Is that like being a faux wheeler?
 
I'll dress for the part with a fake cast on my left arm. Make outrageous claims such as "I wheeled the Hammers in an Econoline van". I'll tell everyone they don't have enough "seat time" to wheel my rig. I'll be a bigger douche than Richard Daley. Somehow, all the chicks will dig me.
 
You still cant believe Tom wheeled trail one in an Econoline van, can you?.....

I think you need some seat time with Tom.
