I'm curious on how well that link suppost is going to hold up.

 

[CrustyJeep]

Is it just me, or does it look like he was welding while drunk?

I am still at the top wondering where the radiator is?

 

[CrustyJeep]

It doesn't need a radiator, those rear lower links will bend into pretzels and/or rip off the frame before the engine even gets warm :flipoff:

(Uh yeah, where IS the radiator going to fit? Bed maybe?)

The seat looks like it's worth more than the entire truck!:redneck: :flipoff: :haha:

Man ya'll are harsh!!!

Umm... that was one of the problems yes:flipoff:

I'm curious on how well that link suppost is going to hold up.

Well, the links are not completed yet. Theyre going to be gussets to keep from bending (2"x.25" DOM) Havent had any issues running them on the other rigs.
Got some buddies with YJ's on rockwells and 44s with J links, just wait till theyre finished.

Its going to be in the rear as stated...

The only time thats been a problem was sliding off a rock hitting the yoke... besides the DS is 3/8" DOM
Why a mazda? hmm, well the price was right (free) and theres none built here :shrug:

Heres the specs on the build.
86 Mazda B2000 frame and body
95 Magnum 360
TF727
D300 (32spline outputs, Lomax 4.1)
Front Passanger side HP60 5.39, Welded, Chromo Shafts
Rear D60 5.39, Welded, Chromo Shafts
Wishbone 3 link rear
4 link front, maybe paralle with track bar

The plan is to build a comfy, very capable rig, with A/C :flipoff:. The drivetrain has proven to be bomb proof, and this build is on a tight budget. Almost all parts were taken off the previous rig.

Thanks for all the comments both good and bad :kissmyass: finally got the welder dialed in once again... so things should "look" better.
Keep the comments and criticism coming...

Hope the project turns out like im envisioning it.

OK, but you ARE going to put the frame mount for the lower links in double shear somehow, right?

 

[Rokcrler1]

Already done...

 

[pokey]

OK off topic.... how about some pics and info on the narrow bronco in the first and second pic ? Please:cheer:
