Looking good!! So what are you doing for the front ds? square?

 

Square driveshaft haha...no....no ghetto duct taped klanky shat...

Probably gonna use an auto spline long slip

 

That is a beautiful build, almost looks stock from the front.

This thread is making me want to buy an old truck to chop up, I have the time and no money. Hate when that happens haha

 

Amazing project. Can't wait to see pics of it on the trail.

 

Well, heres a sneak preview! She broke a birf within 45 minutes of hitting the trail (Detroit in the front..no longs) He also ended up mounting an 8000lb warn in the rear for suckdown...All I have are night pics so far!

 

lookin good! I mean... AMAZING! Nice job again!

 

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but:
"Suckdown"???
I've seen rigs with the winch cable attached to the front axle, but I thought it was a cheap way to run a limiting strap?

Thanks,
Grant
What do you gain from "Suckdown"?

Edited: BTW- NICE RIG!!!!! I would love go get to see this monster on the trail!

 

you have no idea of how jelous i am

 

Air shocks can be very finicky sometimes and the flex the 4link offers allow them to unload pretty easily. The winch basically sucks down the rear end keeping it from unloading (and/or losing control) on steep decents. I mean crap you can basically pick up the rear end with 2 people...its pretty light

 

Impressive!!!!!!

I didn't realize it was so light. And I also didn't realize your running air shocks! But both make sense.

Looking forward to more pictures!!
Keep the nice new shiny side up!! : )

 

 

Wow.. Thats all I can say.

Very impressed on the attention to details, love it! Almost a shame you guys are gonna flog on it....

 

That is one amazing rig, so many hours put into it and it definitely paid off. Nice Job.

 

Pics are up! Here is christian testing out the detroit in the front

It was dang hot that day


Jeep guys...looking on









Christian humping his truck :bumpinbutts:

Wow you dented that nice truggy!!!

It's the tire strap to seat the beads?

David

 

Hey david...

Yea it aint no gay ass street truck thats fo sho.....and this was just the first trip out lol..

Yea the ratchet strap pulls the beads closer to the rim for re-seating...also makes it easier to reach in and pull a new valve stem thru the hole

 

Wow, that video! Time for some boggers?

 

Boggers schmoggers....they wouldnt have made a difference I dont think....

Personally I think SXs are a superior tire just because of the lateral stability (tread)....get on a hill like this with boggers and locked up front and rear and you start going down...down...down...real quick.

(It's hard to tell how off camber this really is in this pic...we were puckering with only 3 and 4 inch lifts on the rigs)
