The Patrol - Phase II

**redcagepatrol** · 07-08-2009, 08:21 AM

I've got the axle built - brake brackets and all.

It's lined up under the Patrol, tacked in using some scrap at the right pinion angle.

I was in the process of makeing the lower link brackets when I found out that my 3/4" drill bit is slightly bent. I'll get a new bit today and then back to work - at least after I get back from New Orleans...

let me look at work for a 3/4" bit, i'm pretty sure we have a couple and i can get you one

rear axle mounts and links are done. Need to mount the air shocks now, doing a little research. I left the camera at home with some flex shots - but I'll post some crappy cell shots before test flex in a minute.

yep, it's been that way. I didn't change the lowers at all. Had to add ~2 inches to the uppers.

some flex pixs so I could figure out where to mount the air shocks

looks sweet

**DRAGOONRANCH** · 10-09-2009, 11:50 PM

Yep, looks real clean. What are your plans for bumpstops back there?

**AggieTJ2007** · 10-10-2009, 06:17 AM

air bumps?

**tigweld** · 10-10-2009, 11:51 PM

for a slow speed crawler I bet he really doesn't need bumps with the rising rate of the airshock, as long as his shock mounts are up to it.
