Are the 38's the tires you plan to run? Would be sweet to get the new 43" SX for your rig

I like the build... hopin to go full width on my mini someday.

 

[Lizard Lips]

i'm selling the 38" boggers and going bigger. I might go with some 44" boggers or something around that size. I was thinking about the 42 sx but I dont know the release date.

should be working on the rear this week. cutting the rear axle off and building the truss and everything.

 

[Lizard Lips]

1/4 ellips buckets.

Cut the rear axle off. Swapping it with my other axle on my other truck. Need to build the truss and weld the link tabs on.

 

[Wayneraintree]

so it is going to be a D60 front and no longer a 14B rear... so what's going under the rear?

 

[Hottrod81]

It's hard to tell from the picture, are the springs actually going into the frame?

 

[Lizard Lips]

yeah the 1/4 ellips are going into the frame. The frame was notched at the bottom and capped with a bucket to put the 1/4 ellips in.

It'll have a 60 front. And I have another 14 bolt with 4.56 and a detroit i'm putting in. I'm also having the axle out to grind all the existing brackets off and then start the truss and wel the link mounts on.

 

[Lizard Lips]

Got the 60. I just need some spring plates and ubolts.

 

[Lizard Lips]

making room for the new tank.

 

[Lizard Lips]

Almost got the axle in. I need shorter bolts for the passenger side. But got it most of the way in.

 

[Lizard Lips]

no updates yet. I got some more parts again. 14 bolt disc conversion parts,
some air bumps, they were converted from air shocks. 5" travel

and some bling high steer arms

 

[Lizard Lips]

Some updates over the weekend. Put the discs on the 14 bolt. Going to start The link truss today. They clear 15" wheels. I can't remember what kit it is but I'm using ruff stuff bent brackets.

mounted the 60 all the way. Mounted some 38's. Still haven't gotten the single wheel hubs.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Gggggggggahhhhhhhhhhhh....... So much...... Uh sweet!

 

[Lizard Lips]

should have some more updates tomorrow. Been working on my lower and upper link mounts. Also got the crossmember in and going to start the axle truss tonight.

 

[Lizard Lips]

Got some work done yesterday.

lower link crossmember and mounts I might have to modify it a little to clear the driveshaft.

Front range rotated crossmember

Everything mostly in place. The cases might go a little higher.

 

[Lizard Lips]

Some more work done over the weekend.

Upper frame link mounts. STill going to beef them up a little more.

Lower link crossmember in.

Started the axle lower link brackets.

Got the lokar shifter in after modifying it a little. And the 2nd case shifter. I still need to get a shifter for the crawl box

 

[Wayneraintree]

Why did you choose the lokar shifter? reason I ask is because I have a th350 in my mini with a hurst (i think) shifter, tranny has a shift kit, but the shifter seems to be installed "backwards" and the action is mysterious... it is a ratchet shifter type. I am looking for a better option...

looking good overall man!

 

[Lizard Lips]

I actually got the shifter when I bought the tranny. It was included in the deal so thats why I am running it. Good observation on the pattern of that. I need to flop the pattern. I have been looking at other shifters so there's nothing out of the question yet. Also think about throwing a reverse manual valve body in it. I don't know yet.
