:looser: wait just a minute, I think you are catching me. I think you are cheating. You already have all your major expensive stuff paid for, that's not fair. :booo: Oh well, we can't have everything I suppose. Looking very good Stan, and by the way, I am sure glad you are running into obstacles just like I am, makes me feel better anyways.

I thought the hole saw was begining to run a lil ruff and was grabbing and twisting the drill a bit :redneck: :fawkdancesmiley:

If you don't wear out a few tools, you're not working hard enough.:;

 

[no excuses]

a rear shot of the rear end stuffed

 

[no excuses]

at almost full droop, I still have a couple of inches to go but its laying on the floor :redneck:

 

[no excuses]

moved the lower shock mounts out a few inches, should help kake it more stable.

 

[no excuses]

getting the front end mocked up and seeing how it will look

 

[no excuses]

I am going to have to change the lower radiator mount and lower the upper link mounts a bit:redneck:

 

[no excuses]

upper link mount, 4" C channel and lowered mounting tabs.

 

[no excuses]

boxed in and it will be tied into the hydro cyl. mount also.

 

[no excuses]

lower link mounts on the axles, had to run a flat mount on the pass. side inner mount. Then I tied it to the housing and and outside mount with gussets top and bottom. I could not go wider on the housing because it would hit my tires while turning them. It still rubs at full lock as it is. I can not go in any further at the frame end as it will be in the way of the driveshaft. Daam driveshaft just gets in the way, maybe I should just run without it :looser:

 

[no excuses]

drive line gets a lil close at droop, I am going to have to clearence the front crossmember and probably run a TOm Woods ujoint on the uppper end, I will be able to get by with a stock Dana/spicer joint on the lower end.

 

[no excuses]

front lower shock mounts mocked in place, its a tight fit again, had to do lil grinding on the oter knuckle so they will not rub at full lock.

 

[no excuses]

where they will sit normally I am building a different upper shock mounts but they will be pretty close to this. I am also going to run a bar from the bottom of the front hood hoop and up to just in front of the upper shock hoop.

 

[no excuses]

ram mount and battering ram :; tacked into place. I have to run the hydro hoses pointing down or I only have a couple of inches of up travel. I will build a lil protection for them.

 

[no excuses]

front bumperette to protect the hydro. hoses, I will also build a mount in there to hook up to my winch cable. This will be tied into the plate and battering ram behind the bumperette :redneck: . I will run some flat bar under the b.ram and the bumperette for a skid plate, It would suck to get a rock hug up in there and be hung up on it .

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

You still ain't done yet??? :flipoff:


Looks good Stan, who says poop pipe can't be used on a chassis? :redneck:

You might check this out for your front yoke. http://www.arizonadrivelines.com/Transfercase_and_differential_end_yokes.htm

Go down the page, first one, it's a longer deeper yoke, therefore more angle and just might stick that driveline out there just enough to clear things. Worth a peek.
