did you ever consider grinding the dirt and paint off the frame before welding to it?:flipoff2:

I wire brushed it and hit it with sandpaper. I didn't do any area that was not being welded to because alto/spring creek mud is gross. Besides that what the hottest setting on the welder is made for right?
:flipoff2:
Just turn the welder to the next power setting, that cleans it for you. :gigem:Quote:

Worked all weekend long. The doubler skid is done and painted, I made a chevy 52/waggy 54" hybrid rear spring pack, I also
got the rear 60 and new spring perches ready to go. I finally got this hoe on some tires. I need to redo the rear spring hangers to get some more uptravel with the longer waggy springs. Also, it currently sits about 2" taller with the 42''s at wheeling psi than it was on the 35's.
Anyone know if chey hydro clutch systems use a plasctic spacer on the mounting surface for the slave cylinder that is attached to the bellhousing?
Do i spot some gangster lean?
Nice shackle angle!
But like you said your pushing the rear shackle hangers back.
No you spot one tire with about 4psi of air and another with 15 psi.Quote:

remind me to stay away from this "Klogger waiting to happen" in Clayton:flipoff2:
When are you going to fix the color?
Last year as I recollect the Klogger was running when your craptrol was broke on the side of the trail. Then you had to summon the power of the blue oval by installing a ford coil on that thing :flipoff2:Quote:

Robbie here are some links to stud fixes. posted so I can find it.
The rear stud came loose from the housing due to fawked threads while the front stud was ok but slightly bent, probably due to shims but I need them.
I'll probably go the u-bolt route since it's the most shim friendly and remove the least amount of housing webbing possible.
4 wheels again, whoop!! I still have a ton of work to do, but I am getting there. I was on crack thinking I could have had this thing done by clayton.
I also reached my goal of beating Tate in having the bastard on 4 tires again:flipoff2:.
Before one of you gun nuts wet yourself its a pellet pistol..
I would have had it on all 4 tires a while ago if ballistic fab would send me my damn towers. I really don't have much left. Bleed brakes, set 60 gears, hydro lines, cross member, driveshafts, t-case shifter, mount shocks, and exhaust. Probably more but that is all I can think of
Krosby Kustoms kicks off-road designs ass, we make our own chevy draglink to clear the engine crossmember. It was actually really easy to make and only took about 30 minutes to make.

You are aware the ORD one is like 1/4 wall and threaded right? Not so sure about yours. For the record, my dragling is made from a rockwell tie rod, so its legit:flipoff2:
I have an air over hydro setup on my bender .250 is not an issue.
Attachment 18571Attachment 18572Attachment 18573Attachment 18574Took some time off of working on the suspension and drivetrain crap to finish the floor, install the new bucket seats, and make a shifter/cupholder console so that I could double my current cupholder ratio and also have a good mount for the cable shifters.
looks good I like the console
looks good, where did you get that plate with the shift patterns on it?
I made it from a piece of spare aluminium, and stamped the pattern in with my die set.
On my Ford doubler the the pattern is reverse for the 203 vs. the 205, So one is L N H and the other is H N L. Is yours different?
The interweb says that is the chevy 203 shift pattern. Also, yours might be different due to your shifter location/linkage.
Here are some pics my comp won't let me edit my replies.Attachment 18735Attachment 18736
Any plans for doors?
what was broken?
neon seats ftw
Needs boatsides.
It had 35" tires, 10 bolts, and not clutch.... Now it has won tons, 42's, a new hydro clutch setup, and a doubler. Let me sum this up a different way:Quote:
