Thanks for the positive input everybody!
Bobby and I measured the rig today on tires.....outside of tire to outside of tire, front, 90"! ......rear, 87"!.......84" to the top of the cage..........29" bottom of frame......120" wheelbase, should be stable, it's a wide bitch!!

whoa--that should make it interesting in some of those pinch points--I think wrecking ball had a couple that I could remember....

Looking good:beer:


Looks like its maiden voyage will be similar to my last years hammers trip.

Rolled the ftoy not running onto the trailer and drove straight there. Did some quick night testing on a rock pile and ran Wrecking ball the next morning.

Good times. :awesomework:

Here is a couple of updated pictures for you guys. Got the front & rear axles & lockers all set up. Transmission and transfer cases and skid plate assembly all installed. Also put on a brand new 12,500 lb T-max wench. All wiring is finished and should be ready to do the final paint on wednesday. It is pointed south for the Hammers. :fawkdancesmiley:

Odie will a 8 inch ram turn steer far enough. Because your wheels don't hit anywhere. Our CV joints go 45* and you have plenty of room,this will help that bad boy for steering. I thought my buggy with 42s looked big but not next to this. Good job Odie.:beer:

bobby I am pretty sure it is just right. I run an 8in ram and it travels almost too far.

We got a few more things done on the rig today. It's getting close, had to roll it outside today and see how the springs flexed, they didn't do to bad. Here is a couple updated pics for you guys.

 

[Brian H]

Your gonna have to learn how to wheel again now that you have more flex than any of your other rigs.

That diamond plate looks good.
