I've wheeled with that crowd numerous times, the real danger comes when they are sober, though I doubt the guy driving that car was drinking.

Dang i saw you posted and thought there was going to be an update:looser:

Indeed guys. This is Sam's build-up thread. Take it somewhere else. :flipoff:

You want an update? Ok... I'm rebuilding the front axle right now. Tonight I'll have the front axle back together with new shafts, locker, bearings, and one new spindle. To have this on the trail this weekend I'll have to move some fuel lines, and build a skid plate. I'll probably need to build a front traction arm, but we'll see how it goes.

Lincolnlock · Mar 15, 2007

Well... all I have left to do is, skid plate, winch mount, lights, and a few other odds and ends things like a cd player. Here are some pics from last night.

War-Jeeper · Mar 15, 2007

Shake down run this weekend?

Lincolnlock · Mar 15, 2007

You, my good man, make some very good looking cages

Glad everything came together so well!

Sorry to post a 'dumb' question in your build thread, but it's an issue I am running into now with some work I'm doing on my junker. I've hit a brick wall...

I notice on the rear end, your shocks have very little compression left in them, my truck is leaf sprung all around and my front end has lots more droop then compression. So is it 'OK' (read: not going to bust up my shocks) to run them the way you are to allow for more droop and less compression? I know if I do that, it might be best to run a bump-stop to keep from bottoming out the shock, but I didn't see any on yours. Just hoping to steal some ideas from ya, rather then make a mistake and try and re-do it over and over till I learn from it.

edit: oh and I've looked for longer shocks but I am running the longest ES9000's I could find on the market. I think they have just under 14.5" travel.

nice build btw...
