Operation SOA 75

[Tapage]

Are you happy with that shackle angle? Looks like it should be more vertical to me and when you load some weight on it ,it will be worse.

With the hi steer,can you still use the old pitman arm?

Ditto ... I thought ou need to move it 2" backward..

im changing all the shackle angles when i weight the chassis

Not a big update but an update never the less...

I got the Front and Rear diffs in their perfect positions.
Ive taken the centers out to be rebuilt with 4.88s and detroit lockers

Next i have to laminate and truss the housings, make new ubolt flip plates, try and sort out the front and rear shock positions, clean everything up for painting and then squirt some paint on her...

Im sure there is alot more i have forgotten to do but eh....

my new $10 shock hoops

Its Saturday so another update is due.

Ive made some new longer anti inversion shackles, they look very similar to a certain superior shackle

Welded the perches on
I trussed the front diff and cut the knuckles for the C&T later on
Extended the breather through the truss (ill cut it flush and tap a fitting into it later)

Tested my departure angle (with small tires mind you...)

Removed the tranni and transfer and sent out for exchange.

Alrighty then another update.
I don't have a Digital camera at the moment so i have no pix but this is what ive done.

I stripped the chassis bare
Spent hours prepping to paint
Painted 2 coats of 2 pack etching primer
Waited a day and painted 2 coats of High gloss 2 pack black
Painted all the odd bits like the shackles and fuel tank and brackets ive made.
Trussed the rear diff housing
Made u bolt flip plates
Started making sliders/sidesteps
Bought and picked up my new gearbox and transfer with chrome molly idler shafts

Somewhere in amongst all that i fitted a 2" body lift and 3" coil lift to my mates shorty patrol.

Hopefully get pix later this week

Cheers

[Z()LTAN]

small update..

I got a new gearstick and low range stick with linkages from a wrecker coz mine were all bent when the old box nose dived off the pallet it was on.

I stripped them all down, sand blasted it all, got it all painted 2pack gloss black

Got new bushes pins and cups from Toyota (grand total of $14 for the lot)

Now shes gonna feel totally new!

 

[Z()LTAN]

Hey all its been a while and ive done very little...

But i have bought alot of stuff to start my new workshop up

I have finished my gearsticks though, they are lengthened and distorted to suit the 2" body lift.

Cheers fellas

Small but expensive update:

I have my centers back complete with cryo 4.88 ratios, full cam'd Detroits with solid machined spacers and fully rebuilt with HD bearings and seals.

Dont ask how much.....
