Wow that is a pretty wicked rig. How do you like the radius arms? Any shots of the front suspension?

Thanks. The radius arms work ok, I have Ballistic Joints on both ends to help avoid binding. I estimate that I lose about 20% of the shock travel from the arms, also they are prone to bending since I had to pre-bend them 15* to achieve decent steering angles. This winter there will be some changes to the rig as a whole, not completely sure how much the front suspension will change but I will at least be running a straight arms.

So since my last post in this thread i have traded vehicles. Now have a 2004 TJ 3"suspension and 3"body on 35s. Some other upgrades to go along with it and of course more to come.

First post here. Been on pirate for a while and thought I would post up here too. Have a 75 F250 that has been linked in the rear. Put a cage in and re-built the front and rear. 60 front with a spool and Yukon 35 spline outers. Offroad Design drive slugs and NWF steering arm. 14 bolt rear with a Grizzly locker and disk brake conversion. 5.38 gears. The wheelbase was shortened to 120 inches. The bed was chopped and am just running the bed sides. They were sectioned to look right with the wheelbase and were doved in. Running a 460 on propane. It has C9 heads that have been shaved to bump compression for the propane and had bigger stainless valves installed on the exhaust side. Had a custom cam ground to take advantage of the propane. It's still a work in progress. I still have to twin stick the 205, re-build the transmission and other odds and ends.

Umm ok my names Carey im from good ole carrollton ga and I'm deff very new to the rock crawling scene.... So I'm pretty much shooting in the dark lol... I bought a 93 xj and I plan on putting Dana 50 and 60s under it with 38s maybe bigger not real sure yet.. and air shocks with 4 link front and rear all that good stuff but I'm looking for some real good constructive criticism... Is this a good direction or what? But I'm on a tight budget I race dirt late models for a living so if any of you know much about that you know I don't make much money lol so just let me know please and thanks guys!

Thanks! The 70's Ford is my favorite body style. I have a build thread on Pirate but if I get some time I may post one here. I have a lot of pics and there has been quite a bit dine to the frame to link the rear.
