just a lil pipe and link work

Changed the 63" chebbies out for a set of dual rears reversed, I did not like how long the chebbies where, was tired of hanging up on them and really wanted a lil more flex and travel. They worked pretty daam good but gotta try to improve :redneck: . Then I was told that the feveresed rears where prone to axle wrap, well looks like a good time to link it up. Oh yeh heres a couple of links to my build ups on this, http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=425193 and the start of this http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317437

I wanted to be a lil wider and was tired of breaking toy R$P's. Lost count of how many over the last 6-8 years but its a bunchuke: between muddin and trail/rockcrawling. I will swap the front out someday, but thats gonna take a big bite out of the wallet :booo: . Soo out with the old (86 w/ 2" spacers).

Off with the old

took some 3/16" 2x4 tubind shoved it up into the frame 6-8" past what u see here.. the stock one was paper thin.

sarted with a 9" rear end out of a 79 f150 and added a gusset from JEGS. Built my upper link bracket out of 4" C channel. Will add several more gussets to tie it into the rear end better.

Go Stan Go!

lighten that thing up :redneck:

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

35 spline Strange axles:redneck: , took the tards long enuff to get the right ones to me. First time they came in 31 spline and wrong axle retainers , second time they where 5 on 5.5" :wtf: , third time was a charm althought I was an asshole about them and made them next day air them to me :kissmyass: . And they still have to send me a couple more wheel studs .

3.25" "N" case 35 spline spool, 4.56 gears and no more toyota R&P :cheer: . I shaved the diff. 1.25" and plated it with .25", still have to add some more protection to it though. Check out the triple drilled toyota patten flange, to bad I am not going to be using it after building it:haha: , decided to step up to 1350's :redneck:

new ubber top secret link material:redneck:

Pvc!?

I would plate that rear truss in that the upper control arms are mounted too. Probably just some 1/8" would work.

more of the super secret link bars:redneck:

front upper links, just tacked in placed

"Replace those weak welds with PVC adhesive and electrical tape"

Nice!

Looking good. Make sure you use UL rated electrical tape otherwise you might get stranded out in the woods :redneck: :haha:

So I take it your putting a propane injected 502 in it as well?
