weak-link's 60 bulid

[freds40]

Pulled the 60 back in and threw it up on the trailer. The 60 for the back end is not ready yet so we wanted it mobile for some work he's getting done elsewhere so we threw it on the trailer for the back end. Started the rear spring over @ 9:30.

Finished @ shy of 11.

We decided on high pinion for the rear to get it up out of the dirt a bit.

Front clearance 37

Back clearance 33

Last for the night

wow cool looking keep the 33 and 37 stager, that is pimp, lolololololo

It was bronze in color, is that the stock color for a 60?

Red and black just look right to me

You know mw just rattling the cage a little.

Is that the new 6x6 axle you were talking about.

Am i missing something?

Do you have the Axle on reversed?

Why do you have the Third pointing towards the rear?

 

[D'Animal]

LOL!

Never mind -
I figured it out.

Next time take the third out so i don't get confused!

Good luck with the rest of the build!

 

[D'Animal]

No.

Is it because it's SOA'd? and the spring perches?

Will the Third switch around and bolt to the other side?

I imagine this is for Mock up only for axle positioning on the spring. They are using the exsisting spring pads to get a range on the finished height.

From the previous posts in this thread I imagine Weak Link and Fred40 know what they are doing.

 

[5280Hawk]

No, I know. There's no doubt they know what they are doing.

I knew it was me not having a clue. Just wondered what the deal was with that.

 

[D'Animal]

They could suprise us and run two rear axles like SOR FJ45 Troopy.

 

[LCOwner]

That's China Gear's new 6x6 high pinion rear axle housing.

That's China Gear's new 6x6 high pinion rear axle housing.

And I thought we where friends

 

[weak-link]

We just flipped the axle to make it a roller, no need to panic people.


Although all I would need to do is flip the cover with the third and clearance the housing for the ring gear and I'd be done

 

[LCOwner]

How close to the stock width is the Dana 60 you're putting in?

 

[weak-link]

I don't remember off hand but it's close.

 

[freds40]

Couple of daytime pics.

 

[weak-link]

you should see the 40 with those 33's on the front

 

[weak-link]

We got the 37's bolted up in the rear and it stink bugs 2-3"s

I think I'll try to find a AAL for the rear to give the spring pack some arch and lower the mounts.

B... where the pic's ?

 

[freds40]

Stuck inside my camera @ home. I needed sleep.

Draining out the breather tube and that neat new top fill would be cool
