Tech links on the Buggy Leaf setup-up as well as for the traction bar...
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=460751 My thread on pirate4x4 without getting flamed. :looser:
Parts that have arrived...
Tools... :clappy:
Stock U-Bolt cut in half. I was consider using these to run through the center pin hole and up through the frame just behind where the U-Bolts holding up the buggy leafs are gonna be. This would require drilling out the hole & im still not certain I want to do it that way... Suggestions, reasons why or why not?
Heres the springs being cut, I forgot to take pics of the it after i cut the center pin out. Also I just used the original spring clamp and just hammered it down tight over both springs. I couldn't get the bolt out of the front spring hanger and the torch is out of oxygen (The reason for all the hammers ) at the moment so I just cut them off where I wanted them. Oh yeah this is a donor truck don't worry.
Here there are all cleaned up and primed...
And of coarse painted...
I'm planning on installing the U-Bolt flip kits and using the stock U-Bolts to mount the buggy leafs. For the traction bar I'm going to use the slip design with three heim joints.
**More pics as it comes along.
