Kansas, where we know how to wheel, nowhere to go
well, if you call it that.
got my wheels done with braces (like cabot's) and painted. cleaned the shop a little more then put michelle's car in there and welded the exhaust back on. Also got the other pump set up on the biodiesel processor and then weedeatered the whole place until I couldn't see anymore. yep, today brought the humid suck. tomorrow.......real work :-[ :flipgotcha:

Look at you bein all productive !!! I wish i had the alloys and ctms.... so uh.... are you concerned about those knuckles lasting yet ? ;D
 
Is this one of those new fangled "Rat Rods" errr......I mean "Rat Rockcrawlers"
With all the rust and brown metal I see a theme. At this point if you did add paint to the equation the sheep may try to slit its own wrist or at the very minimum try to puke it off of itself.

Not trying to be picky but don't forget to replace those steering stops. I would hate to see a broke axle due to sharp turn

HAHAHA, good eye... how did you notice that J shaped stop with all the rest of the rusty crap and blingy new shafts and joints in that pic !! :eek:
 
I bend mine on every ride. I buy them by the dozen and sometimes have to replace them on the trail. I had a buddy destroy axle's joints and all from something that minor. Since then I have a bad tendency to look at everybody's when I walk by a rig. I don't know Kelly like you but he seems very knowlagable and i didn't want to offend him. Not that yaw get offended easy or anything LOL :spin:
 
on the steering, the ram is 6.125" travel and the arms are drilled at 5.9375", so the stock axles would hit, but these chromos with more angularity will not. the ram limits before the yokes interfere.
paint, its in the plans, but so is a longer penis. don't see either happening. :flipoff1:
