Builds My Cruiser build - aka HIPPO80

[Mandito22]

man it has been a while since I logged in to mud,

here is what ive been up to
added power steering cooler. Much better.







ran into parking stump with no bumper, hit my rear corner. Replaced it with from a donor.




threw on a labs kit just for kicks,





upgraded steering rod ends to 7/8 heims.



switched out the heims on the links to Ballistic Fab joints. Rides so much smother now.


switched out AVMs to Aisins




another cool cruiser that I put together for a friend.



got new wheels, Raceline beadlocks. Sanblasted them for now, powdercoat next.

u went with RuffStuff 7/8 heims. ???

The lower links are made from 2" DOM. On the axle side they are sleeved to connect onto a poly mount that fits within factory location. On the frame side Ill be running 1.25 Heim joints.

Upper links are from 1.75 DOM. Same mounts on the axle side and 7/8' Heims on the frame side.

Pan hard is form 1.75 DOM with 7.8 Heims.














I modified the panhard frame mount for to slightly lower and level out its position







For rear shocks I went with 12' FOX Smooth body shocks with external resis



Made lower mounts. Factory mounts were chopped of.

Upper mounts were modified as well.





Rear pretty much complete, just need to extend sway bar links.

Foxs are 2.5’s???
