The stomper is going to drag you all over the place.

Brad has the advantage, his truck is heavier, and he has 2 1/2 ton axles and bigger tires. If my junk doesn't break doing the mudbog, rocks and tuff truck course, it will be fun hooking bumper to bumper.

A bunch of us can jump in the back of your truck for weight.

That was on sheet metal. I left the machine/POS way up from an earlier project. It is spooled up with .035 wire. I then just stitch welded to get that stacked dimes look that folks like. Its actually a shitty cold row of spot welds good for not much more than shavin door handles. :redneck:

I usually have my ancient machine cranked up and weld hot. Its a POS from the 70s. It contains no circut boards or electronics, just a power supply and a feeder motor. Basicly the same setup as a diesel arc welder and a feeder suitcase and gas, just in one box. I need to get a new machine someday.:awesomework:

ya I feel like a retard now, looking at them they are totally spot welds.

sorry for the long wait, but I have been super busy latley.

I just got all 16 joints for the links.

My machinist got the link material this week. He is turning the links next week. They will be 2 inch 7075 solid aluminum.:bling: with some custom lettering engraved on them.:fawkdancesmiley:

I honestly havent touched it since the last update. Other than just ordering parts.:booo:

I have three rigs to do work on. As soon as thier finnished Ill be back on it. The more I work, the better parts I can round up.:beer:

hey bunk, there is some truth in what your sayin. I am going to build a different chassis after this things done. I just wanted to learn a little more good and bad about link setup before I build a full tube roller.

I think it would be a ton easier to build fresh from tube than to build around ten different phases of a rig that has been redone a million times.

The nice part is I can build a chassis on the table and just transfer all the parts over and be good to go. I just dont have the time to do it now without waiting for a couple years to wheel it. I can have this in the woods fairly quickly with whats left.:awesomework:

I have never wheeled a buggy before and an going to use this as a learning platform, not a lifelong dream build!

Cool, I was gonna put a 5.0 and link up my toyota but realized the same thing. Its easier to start with a thought out platform. Figure out a way to get to reiter....soon.

I need to get to it. I have been working on a few more parts. I got sidetracked by an exocage and a new 10k deckover trailer to pull my junk on.

Worked on the upper (temp) links. I have 4 links made of 2 inch 7075 that have been cut and threaded, Ready to be annodized, then the hexs machined on the ends and the lettering to be done on the sides. That way the links will be color and all the fresh cuts will be bright aluminum. I am getting hooked up by a friends machining bizz on the links and have to wait for another order to get finnished so my links can get "piggybacked" in with another batch of annodizing.:bling:

For the time being I welded some threaded bungs in some 3/8 wall tube and made the uppers. I figure when the aluminum links are on these will make great spares if needed and use the same heims.:awesomework:

The lower links are going to be "unbendable".:flipoff: They will be steel not aluminum and will be engraved with lettering too. They will have bushings and heims. As soon as I get then finnished up, I will show them off.:corn:
