Ron's New Ride

Woodlee · Jun 17, 2008

Here are a few teaser pics. I will be getting a spec sheet put up on my website soon and the rest of the photos updated there. The rig still has a lot of small stuff to handle but it is real close to getting some paint and powder put on it.

It sits 6ft 6in tall and has about 25 inches of belly clearance with a 119" wheel base. It should be a great trail rig for sure.

I like the front axle truss and bumpstop location up there... nice and clean

Hell both the axle trusses look cool... does anything else attach to the rear to keep it from going anywere front to rear ?
( tie into center section , diff cover bolts, pinion bolts or any of that stuff ? )

That's some of that small stuff that is left to do. Both front and rear trusses will be attached to the diff covers. I usually tie in to the pinion on a 14 bolt but since this Jeep has a 70 the cover will have to do. It is just a lot easier to gusset them up when the axles are out on saw horses rather than on the ground.

Looks good as usual Adam. Seems the norm these days is overly large or crazy bends for a stinger, but I really like the low profile front, havent seen it done that nicely

On the rear truss, I know you sell that item, but for a 14 bolt would you do a pinion support tie with it as an extra or is that something the customer can do on his own? Just wondering cause I will want one in the future? Just be easier/less time consuming to buy it as one if you know what I mean.

My kit comes with a pinion support for the 14 bolt axle, but with every thing backing up at the shop I think I am going to stop building production type parts and concentrate on just building buggies. Call me when you get ready though I probably can work you in some where because I have all of the patterns still.
