"Got my beadlocks mounted today. Ran to GI Joes this week and got some airsoft pellets.
So here's something interesting, according to 'the math', 16500 airsoft pellets should weigh out to about 69.8 oz. Using the wife's kitchen scale (got some strange looks from her on that one :redneck: ) they actually weigh out to 64 oz exactly. I divided up 5 equal parts of 12 oz and have 4 oz left over. I think I'll start at the upper end of the recommended weight for 38" tires per the dynabead site (10-12 oz/tire) and see what happens. "
just woundring why you did this? for balence?. BTW NICE build....

getting closer
sway bar burned in/bolted up
front rocker tie in done
rear rocker tie in slash B pillar support done
this is gonna be loud...
Tim had a good idea to rework the track bar bracket.
Goal was to fix the drag link/track bar angles while providing a mounting location for the hydro assist.
can't get much more parallel than that
Originally we thought about using the same bracket and mounting the ram double shear inside.
I think looking at the angles, we'll mount the ram to the face of the bracket like so -
cage all done, ready to be sealed and the paint touched up
PS cage done and standoff done
DS cage done and standoff done
and here's how she currently sits

Nice cage Dre. Something you don't see everyday and it's damn clean
Nice work :beer:

Cornfuzzled yet again...
Is the track bar gonna hit the diff when stuffed, or the tie rod gonna hit the track bar mount when in full turn??? All that 'looks' really close in the pics...
Looks good though!
Looks good though!
The track bar clears the diff, and the tie rod clears the track bar mount. BUT, currently the tie rod just kisses the diff cover at full turn, I need to clearance the diff cover a touch. Yeah, not a lot of room in there... :redneck:
You're supposed to wheel these things?:fawkdancesmiley:
hell thats what you PNWJeep guys swear by. :haha:
rerouted the reservoir lines, here was the straight fitting
added the 45* fitting, initial reservoir orientation
new orientation, rotated the reservoir and rerouted the lines
which allows me to use my stock airbox for the time being
just sneaks under the brake MC
I pulled the seats to rework the brackets a bit and allow Tim some welding room
The harness has to pass by this sharp edge-
So I smoothed it out.
Pulled my old front shocks for some longer travel (and thicker shafted) ones
hopefully it'll give me enough droop w/the Clayton longarms
and lastly a bunch of cage pics, the cage is now fully welded
DS D pillar support painted
PS D pillar support painted
back shot (B pillar spreader getting mocked up in the background)
detail of the spreader
cage completely welded, interior cage completely painted

-Oh no I picked a side-
wow---finally looking like something :awesomework:
:awesomework:
wheres the top of the cage:eeek: is it under the headliner or outside the roof:eeek: kinda looks like the pillars just go to the headliner:eeek:
never mind I looked back a page and now I see. How do you keep the water from leaking don those posts though:eeek:

I know, bout fawking time, huh? :redneck:wow---finally looking like something
It's an inner/exo hybrid, the A pillar is exo and the B/C/D are inner. There are plates above/below the roof that bolt through the roof and the tube is welded to the outer plate. After it's all cleaned up and painted all the seams will get some sealant. I've got a tube of that black rubbery sticky icky stuff you install windshields with. :awesomework:
It has to be done for the PNWJeep Meet & Greet (weekend after Labor Day weekend). It HAS to. :corn:
