[QUOTE="vanguard, post: 51489, member: 172"] When Kreg arrived on day 2 I had gotten an early start and finished welded most of the brackets before he got there. One tab didn't sit right on the truss so it needed a support. Kreg put his metal working kung fu on display and built this three dimensional truss for the end of the upper control arm mount. It's pimp.

I like to put a brace across the tabs to connect them to each other. It makes the it's a lot stronger. [IMG]http://www.just4fun.org/images/buggy/Uwharriecross%20Carnage%202008/P7130021.JPG[/IMG] Here it is with all the big pieces just about done. We still had to route the brake lines, fix the e-locker wiring, etc. but at least it's on its own wheels again. [IMG]http://www.just4fun.org/images/buggy/Uwharriecross%20Carnage%202008/P7130023.JPG[/IMG] Brake lines are routed and the limiting strap is in place.

You can't really see why it's needed but it's because one of the tabs for the control arms is only halfway on the truss. [IMG]http://www.just4fun.org/images/buggy/Uwharriecross%20Carnage%202008/P7130026.JPG[/IMG] Every known problem has been fixed. I'm ready for my shakedown run so I'm trying to set something up for this weekend. I haven't gone this long (about 60 days) without wheeling since I started in 2005.
