Blacksheep Q & D redo

[InDaShop]

heard you guys got 5"s of rain yesterday......lots of shop time in your future?

 

[blacksheep10]

yep another 5". the rear has a 1350 on it cause that's what I had. thinking about trying to get crank's rear yoke if he goes cv and trade it out somehow. then I will have more center droop. right now I am at max. still 1' of travel at the center isn't bad.

 

[CRANK1]

my cv is at the tcase, i did save the 1410 if you need it and the yoke that held it in(i hope i said that right) anyway wasnt i supposed to have the cv at the tcase, **** i hope so that bitch cost me 475, and he used the shaft kelly gave me. i will break down the payment on monday so everyone can tell me i got screwed.

 

[blacksheep10]

if he used my 1410 shaft and weld yoke, I can't seem to think you got a great deal. wow. the yoke for the tcase is about $80 or so, so you have about 400 in a cv and assembly. I made the rest of the shaft. Yep, if you wanna send me the yoke and weld yoke/joint, I'll do $90 on it.

crossmember for shocks and center limiter

spider cover, finally put the legs on it

cut out the old center link braces and center limiter mount and am going to cap off with a new plate that is flat and ties both together. this will be the new center bump pad.

I need another 13" travel shock.

 

[InDaShop]

I'm thinking a shock for a trackbar is a horrible idea!

 

[P]

You gonna pony up and put them CO's on the back ?? ;D


Good to see you getting your rig together man. Spend the time to get it together so you can let it sit.... while you work on other stuff then just load and wheel when you want !! 8)

 

[blacksheep10]

yup, kind of trying to do it all the way "right" this time. still cutting some corners on making it pretty because I plan on a buggy some day. I am most def backhalving it this winter and 3 seater/rear steering it. that is why I feel bad for taking time to even **** with the frame side mounts much.
I sold those C/O's months ago. I will buy another set when I do a buggy. free coils are where its at for the sheep, though

 

[P]

The coils wont hinder you.... you can make it work. I look forward to seeing the newset version tearing it up man !! 8)

 

[blacksheep10]

rear is on the ground adn completely done and painted
will get pics tomorrow. late and she's ready to roll now. no really, shifters tomorrow

 

[blacksheep10]

no worky tonight, gotta make somone happy :
I did tie the cell mount into the new shock/limit crossmember, nice painting in the dark

here is the rear center bump. I hate the thought of hanging a bump stop off of one little 3/8" stud and not having it get ripped right off, so I sandwich plated mine. 3/8" top, 1/4" bottom. nyloc. should stay. you can also see the new bump pad/link brace in the pic.

and here is the rear done all except bolting the shocks in. I only have 1, so I need to buy another before installing.

 

[blacksheep10]

does that pic above make it look like I've welded to it so much that its smiley face warped?

 

[tonka toy]

glad to see some progress how much you got left

 

[P]

Dood... the black sheep is going to actually be black instead of brown !!!


Looks good man, I like that idea of sandwich plating your bump... you saved your self some hassle , your right that 1 bolt mount crap sucks... side load and lose a 25 dollar bumpstop. Sucks. Glad to see you getting that beast together man, cant wait for the first round of airborne testing

 

[blacksheep10]

yup, need 1 more bumpstop, and the front will have them. currently I rely on coil bind to bump me
I still have shifters and exhaust to go, and mount the tires on wheels.

EVERYTHING the more you look at it in the pic looks crooked or out of whack somehow. You put that frame on a table and squared it all back up after the tree in Disney right? ;D

 

[InDaShop]

You really need to cut that cooler cage I built before Cass off. It looks like ****! It's crooked! Did I mention it looks like ****. I don't care if I did it drunk or sober I dont remember. But I do remember doing it and standing back and laughing saying "Wow, that looks like ****!"

 

[blacksheep10]

it stays. you did 2 things that whole week, the cooler mount and oh **** handle in the cab. the cage from the cab is gone, so your mark stays for all to see.
he cut 1 let 1" shorter than the other 3, so it has that gangsta lean to it

 

[InDaShop]

So if I come up and do something else and make it look cool then I can cut it off?


I've laid my mark on a few rigs. The crooked bar on the back of Kurts (didn't you cut it off and move it?) And the hydromount bar on Ben's front axle as well as helped him build all of his links. And on Tuesday night I cut a huge by huge hole in Cabots floor. And Todd let me weld up a clearance piece on his front top link. See all of that qualifies me to critisize all builds and hell a pro at it if I build my own.

 

[blacksheep10]

yep, you help back half it and it goes with the rest of the 03 ****. got some interior tubes done to mount shifters off of last night (until 10, at work at 5:30 : 13.5 again today. hard to get **** done) ready to get on the shifters now.
