Ok i was not gonna post my build on pirate but i have some friends on here crying like babys....so here is the deal. A friend and I started this build friday night and partly finished with me to be able drive it back on the trailer just in time for UFC on saterday! Let me tell you there is still a lot of work to be done! But what is going to be happening is a SAS, take body lift off, cage/bed, anti wrap bar, inter cage bumpers and sliders. So on to the first part of the build we have the SAS.
:beer: :beer: Look pretty nice. What did the alcon springs cost and where did you get them? Shouldn't there be a little more shackle angle on the front? Just curious?
There should be a little more angle on the springs and we are gonna play with that when i can get more shop time. and for the springs I got really lucky on those, a uselessdub found them for me in cali, and i paid 75 bucks for them.
uselessdub... cant beleive you didnt notice i trashed your shackles for some more better home made one and yes the rear flexes good :flipoff2:
thanks for the comments.........and the doors are the first thing i have ever fabbed up. My friend that is doing all the welding and fab work i doubt the doors, will be staying........:grinpimp:
Looks good bud. Your fawkin Yota puked Yota juice on my damn shirt tho :flipoff2: Don't worry I burnt the fawker when I got home. Didn't want to piss off the jeep gods. :flipoff2:
I have another poser shot.......There is not weight at all in the back, and when i was sitting on the tire we got about 4 more inches of down travel. So im guessing when the bed and cage are in that i will get about 2-3 more inches of down travel...... Look at the frame height for a point of reference. I think its preaty darn good!!!! No thats not me in the pics its the man with the plan and skills im the just the go-fer on my own project .LOL
So i was having some problems with the brake set up i wanted to run! So i said screw it and bought the sky kit it will be here in 5 days! Then the front end will be just about complete!!!!!! Then on to the more fun stuff......Stay tuned for an update!!!
Well i finally got all the brake parts, had some trouble getting some stock parts from the STEALERSHIP but got it all taken care of, pics soon, and the rest of the build will be taking place in bout a week or so.
Well work has kicked my ass the past couple of weeks, but here are a couple of pics of my sky spacer kit, the front is done, now to move on to the fun stuff, bed and cage...
Updated pics! Took the body lift off, ground off bracket and bed mounts. This saterday its going back over to Nick Socha, for a bed, and who knows what else, Stay tuned for updated pics from this weekend!
I said it last time and I'll say it again this time. We HAVE to get some damn dust mask. I'm still blowing grinding dust out of my fawkin nose 2 days later.
Glad you were able to get it done man. Sorry I missed your calls phones beed on quiet.
The buggy leafs came off, a YJ! They are not to bad on the road i drove it for bout 6 months on the rd, The only time your gonna notice is when you get on the brakes or if you fly over some speed bumps.
LazyF250.... I live over off Hwy 6 and West Rd, where abouts do you live?
I will be getting some side profile shots this afternoon, it was dark, last night and my camera was bein stupid. There is still a lot of work to be done, but im very excited the way it has turned out. I cant thank Nick enough.
There will be some updates very soon, I ordered a tool box for the back, and when that gets in we will be flooring the bed, and adding the spare tire carrier. And hope fully some NEW tube doors, and front bumper. Well let me know what you think and thanks for all the comments!
