Yeah, looks nice and strong .

Nice job Ron. ya later.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Thanks Guys!

Opinions... Since I've added some drain holes in the front, I thought of adding a stiffener ( angle iron ). Do you think I'm just wasting time, plenty of room. I figure the only negative is adding a couple pounds to an already over weight, corn fed pig.

Would help it not oil can at least, but really your not going to be thrashing it that hard...right?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Only if I have to jump a curb at the mall.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Done deal, I welded it on, paint tomorrow. One heavy skidplate.

 

[bobm]

You know like me. Better safe than Sorry .

 

[scrapdaddy]

For all the money that went into the transfer case and PTO, I should of had a skid plate from the get go. One more thing to scratch off the list.

 

[PabloCruise]

Nice and clean! Good work!

 

[cruisermatt]

Skid plate looks good. Ready to loose those 4:1 gears yet?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Not yet, looking like I might have to live with them, noise and all.

 

[wngrog]

What shocks do you have ?

 

[scrapdaddy]

King shocks, I can look up the numbers if needed.

The rears are 2" smoothies with 8" travel and I can't find the information on the fronts. I know they're 2" smoothies, also and I believe 10" travel. I'll call them Monday (filthy motorsports).

Are they valved special or are they off the shelf ?

 

[scrapdaddy]

I talked to them about what I had and intended use, he did the rest. I'm guessing they're just off the shelf or at least a common valving.

 

[wngrog]

Can you show me how you ran your exhaust to avoid the monster fuel cell?

 

[scrapdaddy]

This is the only one I can find right now of just the pipe. The tail piece is on the left (shiny). It wraps up and over the axle then between the spring and tire. I'll try to take some better pictures tomorrow.
