Front close ups of the flex.


The nuts touch but the shafts do not.

A few more.


It scuffed the paint but the entire rig squated, the tires bulged, etc. Looking through the cage in the top pic, you can see the windshield frame.

Very well built and it is tied to the frame very well. If this was body mounted, my floorbaord would be a few inches lower.


Hat Off to FC Fabrication!

When I got home, my son was so happy that I brought all those pretty rocks home for him too. Yeah, Calico Kid said I'd fit "no problem" too.

I have some more rocks if he wants them. They are still in the rig, along with SnT sand.

i'm not even gonna comment on the "nut and shaft" business but i have two things to mention:


1) you gotta do something with that rear bumer bro!

2) and you need one of these:

 

[orangefj45]

whoops, almost forgot, that is your super-pimp gear-train combo.

the answer to your next question is "NO". it's about 90% done right now, waiting on one more bearing and a new range fork from AA. did'nt want to run the old fork and had the wrong bearing so i could'nt finish it today. i will call you the second it's done though.

 

[D'Animal]

Thanks for doing it right!

 

[orangefj45]

thanks dan, some things are worth waiting for. i've been beyond anal when it comes to putting this combo together. i gotta prove "orion hill" wrong!

Got the rear E-Brake cables ran. Fabbed and installed the E-Brake handle/lever.

Cable is about 42" to short to reach.


Next step is the cup holders.

 

[orangefj45]

DONE!!!!!

 

[D'Animal]

I'm so glad your coming down Sat to help install it.


Your bringing GreenFox as well, right?



















Just kidding, thanks again for doing it correctly.

I don't want to know what, "beyond anal" could possibly mean for you Kalifornia guys...

I like how you used the kmart blue light special to highlight your work..

It will still be burning petro for Cruise Moab but should be running on Diesel for Rubithon.
