Builds My Current Build-up (billy bad-ass)

[Kyle95sr5]

I think the cab adds a real nice look to it. Makes it look like a truck on steroids rather then just a bunch of tubing. Just my 2 cent.

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

that is what i think too...it also keeps me warm

Mo' progress!...I got a case gutted tonight(finally) and I mounted it to the drivetrain. I started figuring the t-case x-member and the front suspension.

flat belly

I also got a 21-sp 4.7:1 case built for a guy in our group

I sell these if you are interested...$500 and your old case...there can be alot added to them if wanted too
21 or 23 sp 4.7:1 t-case $500 and your old case or a core charge
add 3x drilled flanges
add B Long 4340 output shaft
add MC HD shift springs
add Twin stick
add lowpro drain plug
add complete new bearings
add dual case adapter
and the list goes on...

MADE SOME PROGRESS!

I finally got around to finishing up a few things
1. I got my t-case x-member built

1 3/4 DOM tubing.....BIG poly bushings(3/4" bolts)

Need to finish welding the bottom of it

flat belly

2. I flipped where the exhaust dumps from the pass. side to the d. side(I used all stock pieces!)

3. Cab is back on the frame

engine bay

4. Got some seats
2002 WJ 8-way power adjustable, heated leather seats

Now for the problems I encountered
1. Shifter
The t-case shifter is where my trans shifter should be, and my trans shifter is under my dash
THE FIX: I have to pull the trans again to put the clutch, pressure plate, etc and 4.7's in. When I do that I'm going to convert the t-case to top shift(prob make a 3x stick to incorprate the twin stick from rear cases) from front shift and "dog leg" the trans shifter

2.Seats
The seats are waaayyy comfy, but the are too damn tall. My head rubs the top of the cab.
THE FIX: Cut the brackets and drop them down as much as possible.
I already figured out how to get the 8-way to work but I'm going to have to go back to the yard where they came from and rob the heat button. The heat has 4 wires that work it so I need the multi-switch to make it work.

Need t-case parts?

Hye dude .. I love your hood scoop !

 

[4alarm]

I don't think so as of now...funds are starting to drain...but I'm hopeful...these kind of projects are redicoulous, good luck on getting 2 rigs done. I've got what is probably a hernia about 3" and 4" over from my junk...it sucks, it is sore to the touch...and my insurance doesn't kick in til January


these are bad....coil-over mounts....$20.00 ea

And the upper mounts $9.00 a pair (I can get my laser guy to cut these)

Front Suspension
Pan-hard bar for axle $25.00

For Frame $20.00

Ballistic Fabrication? They have great brackets at great prices.

I love your cross member. I was trying to figure out a way to do that with mine, but went another route. I wish I had seen your build sooner.

Thats really starting to look good, are you going to have enough clearance around the front gaurds?

I made my coil-over hoops tonight...

Here they are(they will be standing up)

Here they are standing up

And guess what?.....THEY ARE TOO DAMN SHORT! They need to be about 5" taller at least! s***!

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

OK...got new coil-over hoops now...It turns out that my coil-overs sit at 34" at ride height 5.5" up travel in the rear (I don't think I really need anymore as of yet but that may change soon)
BEFORE

AFTER

The coil-overs are going to be mounted to the inside of the hoops and I'm going to cut and notch some tube to attach the hoops to the outer rail so it has some more support there also

 

[FLYINGLOW]

Man I want to see those yellow stickers burned off on some rocks! Keep it up, looks great!

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

I got some needed parts...pics tonight

 

[Gus]

Awsome work, this is inspirational stuff, keep it coming along.

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

Here is what is happening now:
1. I got my fuel cell(parts)
I welded up the sides tonight...I've got to go to the sheetmetal place and have them cut a few pieces for me
Before welding

After

2.I also got my coil-over tube tabs....these are so I'm able to bolt my shocks in place...I still need to order my lower brackets from Ballistic Fab so I can mount them up and get them semi-out of harms way.

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

c'mon! comments!

 

[FLYINGLOW]

Looks awsome! Get those mounts burned on!
