            Just got back from kissing the corporate world goodbye and had time to relax doing what I like; tearing stuff up!

            Got the front clip removed




            I'll be cutting all this stuff off tonight


            More when I get back from the Holidays...

            Happy Tday everyone!:thumbs_up

                Cool! I'd like to take a look at your front suspension. I have a little bit of a conundrum. 3 link, or 4. Eeny, meeny...

                  That's not even remotely a conundrum. 3 link with a panhard is easier, works very well, has no quirks, and a 4 link has no advantage over it.

                  Put the upper link on the driver's side on top of the pumpkin, maintain about 8" of vertical separation at both ends to keep your caster change minimized throughout the range of motion and have fun.

                  Also, it's pretty nice to use the 2.5" Currie JJ's with the 1" shanks and 1.5" upper link. You want the bigger JJ's up there because the single link is now doing the work of two.

                  If you look at Erik's, notice that the truss on his 30 is bolted on and has yet to fail or even work itself loose. So there's no issues with running a single upper link as far as the forces are concerned.

                    Thanks for the info Blaine. After seeing Eriks rig flex I had a feeling I would like the three link set up, but still want to look at one just to make sure I have the concept straight in my head. I have the JJs so I'm set material-wise. Appreciate the help.

                      No worries, if you need my number, let me know. I'll be glad to offer up the odd sanity check here and there as needed. I can lay out the parameters for you so it's easier to know what to watch out for.

                        Sounds good to me. I'll get in touch with you when I get back in town. Thanks for the assistance.

                          very nice...

                          Sounds like your going to have an awesome rig! Oh and thanks for the help Blaine... Am taking your advice and pusing the wheelbase to 104... Gas tank in rea and Alumnium wraps, now i just need a front axel to handle that Atlas 4. Am also think am going to run the 609 you mentioned. After more research, it just seem like the way to go. I think Richard Gauthier is almost done with it! Sure is nice when you have the equipment to do things...

                          Thanks again..

                          And again good luck on your build Rat patrol.. I look forward to seeing your pics.

                            Should have some more done this weekend and pics up soon. Got the DOM in but still waiting on a critical part. Damn these vendors...

                              Dodged a bullet here!

                              Took apart the rear D44 tonight and found this little gem...
                              Sure hope the warranty is still good.

                                Now is a good time to find that one
                                Is it Alloy USA?

                                Are you keeping the 44 or stepping into something bigger?
