Rebuilt kingpins, hubs, and brakes. plus 35 spline inner and outer chromo shafts and drive flanges.
i thought you were re butchering/building the body mount so you dont fold the frame where ya notched it?

Why is that?

unless he jumps it that is, there is still more than half of the frame left there, although jon was saying he is going to plate the frame around it to be on the safe side
but if you saw it in person its not nearly as bad as you think:awesomework:
so, your trying to tell me that i cant put a jack under one corner and watch it deflect????
i hope not since you can watch a stock frame deflect...
personaly, not only would i plate it, id triangulate it by tyeing the front of the frame into the cage.. but i guess thats just me...
besides, wheel hops just as hard on it as jumping...

Which is A LOT less than half as strong as it was, in addition to creating a rather nasty stress riser. Also, that part of the frame is not supported well by the body, so it will take almost all the stress. That spot needs to be plated, for sure, but it should probly also be tied into the cage.
We shall see.

Looking for man love
I personally dont think he needs to plate it. The half-pipe he welded in there is what strengthens that area he knotched. Plus that half-pipe looks 1/4" thick so its thicker than the frame.

Wana take any bets on this? My frame is notched much like this and it's a much stronger frame that a YJ and it's part of the cage/ structure. Mine's bent like a mo fo.:booo:
Your's is out front where you smash it into ****, and it is less thick between the notch and the top of frame.:fawkdancesmiley:
I don't see there being any crazy load happening back there, if it break's in half.......**** it, it's not mine:flipoff: ............. I'd run it

How is it gaying up the thread when we're discussing a rather important aspect of the build?WOW you guys really :rb: up this thread

If you look closely you'll see the three holes that are put in the frame on each edge for a crumple zone...they are located barely forward of the notch into the frame.
It's gonna fold in half for sure now :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :fawkdancesmiley:

Can you post a picture of the last thing you built gus? And I call bullshit on wheel hop being as hard on a frame as jumping it.
While I agree that the notch didnt do anything to add strength to the frame I think your worried a bit too much. When my oil pan is sitting in the dirt you can point and laugh.
You would also wheel a yota :eeek: :flipoff:
****, better not go wheelin with me, my frame is a ticking time bomb.
Anyway I dont mind if you post comments or criticisms...back to the build...

Pfft, I'd be too busy helping you drag it back to the trailer.
If we sat here on our asses and didn't give (hopefully constructive) criticism when needed, we'd be a bunch of useless ass hats. Er I mean, even MORE useless ass hats
