those look awsome
did you shoot those holes in there with a gun?
is this finished or is it still gonna get some bracing?
It's finished - and those holes are drilled out in the arc of the axle movement so that it will adjust properly. ie: I drilled them in an arc on purpose... :D
not trying to be an ass, but wouldn't it look cleaner with the holes drilled in a straight line and have an adjustable link instead of offset holes?Quote:

I have the crossmember mount almost done. I was able to cycle the suspension to make sure it all worked before I welded everything up. Welded up the lower links last night, the crossmember mounts, and and lower axle mounts. I still need to add some more bracing to my crossmember mount but am having a hard time with x-fer case clearence
sorry, no pics
Booooooooo. :D C'mon you have that fancy almost new camera just begging to be used.Quote:

After that - all I have left is paint. I scrapped the idea of dovetailing it for this trip, that will have to wait. I think that I will leave the fenders off but zip tie the lights on so I can drive it on the street in Clayton :D
