Triangulated in the back no pan hard.... Bend for clearance....

 

[landcruisnman]

Got some links mocked up in back and cycling. Looks like they are going to clear everything...Had to add wheel spacers to clear the lowers.... Gonna be fun. More coming.........

 

[landcruisnman]

Full droop without the wheels on and a shot of ride height in the back.....

 

[Megadoomer]

Looks good, Pat. What size are those km2s?

 

[landcruisnman]

315 s

Build is looking amazing! Would love to do something like this also, but just cant get myself to do the coil front and rear!

 

[landcruisnman]

It's a big leap cutting off all the leaf springs....I was hesitant at first. I think after all the work, it'll wheel much better and have a great ride while I'm driving to work.....

^^. That's an understatement. Done a killer job on the suspension.

 

[landcruisnman]

Rear seat mounts made. I've got some room underneath and on either side for......... Something? I'll figure something out ..

 

[npulver]

nice pull out drawers for storing stuff would be pretty cool (ropes, first aid kit, lights, ect). Thats what i would personally do.

Love this build, man!

Well, got a little more more mock up design going. Front axle truss/mount point for link brackets . Location of front shocks kinda figured out. Need to make lower mount in the other direction so it has more room. Turned wheel and it clears at full turn . Trans/transfer mount started. Going to skid the whole area later. Little by little it's looking like its gonna work. Look for updates......

Doing some nice work!

 

[landcruisnman]

Getting back at it.... Tube truss on front and rear axle and finish all link mounts.... Getting closer to being a roller... Holy sh**!!

For a second there I was thinking how is he going to get the rear diff cover off Wow that is looking super killer! nice work!

 

[landcruisnman]

That FF rear 60 axle doesn't come off......which is probably better since I needed this truss.....

 

[xtiaan2000]

Yea that's the stuff!!

 

[PabloCruise]

I can't wait to see this thing when it is rolling!

 

[landcruisnman]

Back at it.......finished welding all tabs on rear axle and link mounts inside frame. Looks like I will be able to fit the 37" tires that I wanted to. I should have around 4"-5" of up travel and 11"-12" of down travel. We are working on the Cantilever design for the rear also. Don't want to put any holes in my floor....then on to the steering and front. Little by little getting closer to a roller and then a RUNNER!!!!!
