Time to play with the big kids.

Looking good, i like it.

A lot of planning done...hard to take pics of that stuff, but got quite a few issues solved.

My friend Colin helped whip up some mounts for the ARB compressor and Transmission cooler. I'll be most likely making an aluminum shroud to deflect the heat off the seat. Still trying to find a home for the battery.

Started my brake pedal assembly, got the pedals figured out but ran out of noise making hours before I could start mounting them.

Picked up 3/4 of my driveshaft parts today, need to wait till Monday for the slip yokes but I did find some nice Beefy slips.

The Fuel cell (still need to make a can for it) Rear upper links and the rear swaybar are fighting for space, but we got the problem solved. Hopefully get that finished up tomorrow night.

:beer:

Thanks. This is my favourite part of a build. :booo: Got to speed things up though.

Should be a lot farther ahead after the weekend.

Sweet work Chris.

shiny!

Moving along slowly...

Triple pedals to meet werock's one pedal must operate all brakes rule. :eeek:

Tried to fit the battery in the bellypan or behind the skid, just couldn't make it fit with the Atlas, seats and the 6" of uptravel in the back. Next lowest spot was right above the driveshaft. Tied it into the seat mounts. The lower drilled supports and the front seat mount unbolt to make pulling the transmission and tcase easier.

Also shown is my new light weight Canadian made composite driveshaft.

Radiator lower mounts are tacked in. Overflow found a home... Going to need to do some work on the radiator to connect the hoses.

Still Trying to figure what I want for a front bumper. :corn:

Sway bar is mounted in the chassis, bars are tweaked for clearance, just need to finish up the diff mounts.:awesomework:

Still need to figure out how I'm going to fit an airfilter somewhere in here. Anyone got any ideas?

Make a fan shroud thingy that funnels into the intake. I'd be like a supercharger!:redneck: The radiator will filter all the big stuff (birds, etc.) and the electric fan will chop up most anything else that tries to get past......so the engine will be ok.:awesomework:


Looking goooooooooooooood.

Thats a good idea Mark. :eeek:

This made me cringe... $ Twisted customs hood.

looks great man!


i am defanitly puttin an fj grill on the front of my junk:awesomework:
but why would you want to funnel semi warm air into your intake? i would just make a scoop and throw a filter on the end of that thing with a prefilter over it, maybe make it pook out of the top of the hood:;
