fixed the frame

Ok I got the frame all fixed today. I decided to go with the pine as it will allow some flex in the patch whereas oak though stronger would tend to be too stiff and most likely just crack again.

Personally, I'd use balsa, as it's lighter :D

well I thought about that but next year when the body comes off that whole section of frame will be getting redone so this will work fine till then. Its strapped with 3/16 top and bottom as well. The box you see is a plate we put in to reinforce the frame for the spring mount when I did the spring over.

Dual shocks with 33s? Do explain? (not being a smartass...just wanna know)

jeeze dave, you have rode with me on backroads before :rolleyes: The springs are soft enough(wrangler) that at highway speeds it didnt take much to get it rocking back and forth:booo: At first just dual ranchos but still had the same issues. then one standard and one adjustable and things got a lot better. now one 5 way and one 9 way and it handles speed like a champ. Other reason is when were running miles of logging roads from camp to the trails or the dunes two shocks run way cooler than one. means increased life for the shocks with no heat fade. Put your hand on your shock next time you have been running in the dunes for an hour or two and see what I mean:booo: Besides that it just looks cool:clappy:
