Domestic(ated) (non)Violence 3-seater build

[TDW]

Another winter, another new car. With the addition to the family a year ago the time has come for J. Treacy to build himself a 3-seater to accommodate his new son. (never too early, right?) Space was at a premium with the last car and it was going to take too much to modify it to fit three seats.

Build thread for the last car: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=931422

Much of the drivetrain from the previous build is being re-used except for the rear steer. That axle is going to hang around just in case he decides to install it. A new non-steer full float is going in this one.

Specs:

Motor: 5.3 w/LS1 intake; Kevko oil pan
Transmission: TH350
Transfercase: Atlas II 3.8

Axle, front: Spidertrax Spider 9 housing, knuckles and shafts; Mega Hi-9 third, 5.40 ratio www.spidertrax.com

Axle, rear: Spidertrax Spider 9 housing and shafts; Mega Hi-9 third, 5.40 ratio www.spidertrax.com

Tire/Wheel: 39" BFG Krawlers/17x8 Trailready HD Series beadlocks http://www.trailready.com/wheels_HD.html

Shocks: Fox 2.5" coilovers

Driveshafts: Driveline Tech www.drivelinetech.com

Body: Twisted Customs 54" Land Cruiser hood www.twistedcustoms.biz

Chassis width: 54"
Wheelbase: 106"
Track: 79" front; 77" rear
WMS: 65" front; 63" rear

He had a two day head start before I could make it over with the camera. When I get done posting pics tonight he will have worked on it about five days total so far.

He has a small (kid's size) Beard he borrowed for general mock-up. He might end up using it.
