:eeek: wait what happened to that Big Ford TOP TRUCK contender you were working on?

Its hiding in the garage for a bit

Was out of town for a week, got some time to work on this again today. Cut the rockers off, made some new rockers, welded some scrap to the frame, and mocked it up.

I have some 16" coilovers and an orbital valve on the way. 90% sure the rear is going to be spring under at this point. Need to get down and pick up a transmission/t-case from chop chop, then I can mock up the engine/transmission/t-case, then I'll start on the suspension. Shortly after that I'll start a new project :haha:

That's an interesting way of setting the springs up! :redneck:

I'm guessing that's the 14b that was pulled when the PB&J got rocks???

You don't want that extra three inches of roof sticking up and causing you to flop :redneck:

Yup, that's the springs and axle out of PB&J. :awesomework:

Fell over on my dirtbike, and ****ed up my knee so I've been taking it easy for a bit. Worked on it some today, welded the rockers to the frame, and started on the rear spring mounts

Got some more work done on the hangers, still plenty left to do. Hopefully I'll be done with them tomorrow, and then I'll put an actual crossmember on, instead of rusty poo pipe:redneck:

Time consuming but the end product is more art than just a weld

You fell over on your dirtbike and hurt your knee?... You gotta have a better excuse than that! Maybe overshot your landing by 50ft? Something! :fawkdancesmiley:


BTW, cool Luv. :awesomework:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Thanks guys:beer:

I wish it was a cool story. Like I was 12th gear pinned through 30ft whoops on my KX1000 2stroke, and I wadded it up to miss a bunch of puppies and children on the track. But nope, front end washed, pinned my knee under the bike, and slid sideways for a ways, twisting my knee sideways the whole time. No cool story for me:booo:
