What thickness are the materials you're using on the axle?

On the front axle, everything in the vertical plane is 3/16; all the horizontal pieces on top side are 1/8; all horizontal on the bottom side are 3/16, all p&o. The tube is 1.5 x .250 wall. The center of bump pads are 2" x 1/2 flat stock about 7" long total between the two.

It's not near as heavy as it looks.
Less than 1.5 sqft of 3/16, and less than 1 sqft of 1/8. Less than 25 lbs total added.

Yeah it's the very commonly overlooked design characteristic of today's on road vehicles.

Where you can sometimes gain more strength by boxing and bending with less material.

Awesome!!! I love it

Looking forward to seeing this MJ side by side racing the mallcrawler for some Level 4 hairgel...

Pretty cool how similar those two are dimension wise. It's like you planned it that way or something

Front axle is done. (Aside from moving the fill port). Shocks are boxed, bash plating on lower differential, inside uppers plated, upper link mounts capped on front, and steering arm bracing, fully welded out. Now onto the front bump cans.



...and whittled this out with plasma, carbide bit, and a file....anyone want to buy me a plasma table?

Steering arm support and shock boxing...

A look wth the ram removed

Down on the bumps ready for plating...

Seriously dude, I know it's been said a dozen times. But, I'm ashamed to even put any of my work on the same site as this.

Don't stop posting any builds on my account, we all get great ideas from each other....I know most of mine are a collaboration from other folks.

Finally find some pics of my old Tellico cab truck!

Circa 2000... I was 24 years old...holy history batman...

Good ol lower 2 at Tellico!

No ****, right???

 

[WhyJayPA]

Just read this whole thread today. Need to clean all the drool off my desk now. Nothing short of awesome.

 

[mcutler]

Thanks again guys

Pass front bump can done, along with last chassis triangulation. Finish other side, then onto exhaust, radiator, front clip tab out, and bumper finish...yay!

All the extra bracing you put on everything! Either you are planning to jump it off of Stone Mountain, or I don't know how my junk doesn't fall apart when it hits a pebble. :****: Love the build Matt.

 

[LightBnDr]

Yeah that's my only complaint reading and watching this build. You have just half assed the process. Rushing through. Paying no attention to detail.

For sure it's all just gonna rip apart pulling off the trailer. I'm bummed for you . . . . . .

Freakin sweet!!!

Even though I never in a million years would be as good a Fabricator as you, this is still a huge inspiration, and there's definitely a lot to be learned from your skills, out of curiosity, how many miles of weld do you think there is on this thing so far? Must be more than one would imagine
