FOF First official Flop

[CheapJ7]

Body work on the taco's not even half finished, but a couple guys wanted to ride yesterday... So we wheeled her naked...

Hit some good trails, ripped the rear shock mount off on a nasty ledge, then floped it on the Verticle smile..

Thank god for the Handicap toilet bar.. Saved the new clip- Not even a scratch..

Sry- throw away camera at night...

Is that ET in the taboggan? It looks like the end of his finger is glowing. ;D Like you said at least you didnt mess your rig up and noone got hurt . But it still sux when it happens.

No.. That's where i KO's my gay low slung tie rod... That's how the flop happened anyway, Hung my axle and ram on a big rock and it wouldn't back up... Soo.. I made it back up. Guess i humped it when i should just bumped it ;D

You have the back of the cab mounted to the tube were I put the tabs and gave you the bushings ?

Got a flat top.. But w/ those 6 in arch spring the tie-rod would be goin thru the spring.. Only way would be to space it above the spring, then it would be all up in the frame... Lose lose situation... Need some links up front bad...\\

And yea. Cab is tabbed.. And my janky rear shock ount gave way bout half way thru the day yesterday ;D

 

[P]

Hows the cab do with it tabbed and bush'd like it is ? I've never done that before and feedback would be good.

You put a roof on it yet or any of that ?

I can't see where something that tall couldn't be high steered. when I did the jeep last winter, I went with an ott arm that was tall enough 2.5" above knuckle) to get the tie rod by. that was with a flat drag link. with yours coming in steep I can't see it not getting by the springs. that said, there is a lot I can surmise on and still have no idea what I'm talking about 'cause I'm not there

It prolly could be done w/ the right setup.. And it needs it in a bad kinda way... I'll see if i can get a pic up showing the detail of the front and maybe you guys could help us out.

Oh yea P... I lied.. Been lazy. Haven't tabbed the cab mounted the seat or done Any sheetmetal work.. Just wheeled it...
