lil bit of tinkering

[aw12345]

Had a bit more tinker time

Got a bit carried away with a grinder, darn that trackbar bracket is a mother to get of the frame.
Anyway created a bunch of clearance, looks like the trackbar and steering will fit in there just fine.
At 6" of uptravel even the lower radiator hose will clear the pumkin.

Once you start this cutting business and fire up the plasma cutter, there is just no stopping it.
Before



After, never mind the ghetto rigging, it helps with 3D visualization

Once I figure out a way to create a double sheer setup for the steering arms to tie the knuckle and Hi steer arms together I will be a very happy camper

Lookin good my bro!! Hey Art are those the tires ya got for X-mas that were sittin in the garage a while back? they look mighty beefy..

[aw12345]

They sure are Geeb, did youz go for some wheeling this weekend?

[Geebo]

No wheelin this weekend , I kinda did nothin..lol..got on the bike a few hours and thats about it..

[aw12345]

Got the steering box hanging where it's going to live and started mocking up some steering linkage so I can play with it







Steering needs more work, might lower the box 1" and see how that works. Also doing the double sheer setup will help lower the drag link a bit. Going to have to highline the hood also

Tinker toy steering

Trying to rough out a steering setup where I can use a double sheer setup for the steering arms getting closer
to what I want. Might just get a final mock up this weekend.

Looks great Art. Damn those tires look big.

[aw12345]

yup they are some pretty good size shoes

[lakev2]

keep going like you are and soon enough it will be all tube, with a cut down grill signifying that it is a jeep

What are your plans for the rear? fuel cell and full comp cut or keeping actual fender cutouts?

[aw12345]

It has a comp cut all ready
14 bolt 4 link ya know the drill

[aw12345]

Got a few more goodies for the steering, when you need heims look into www.rodendsupply.com better prices than most and they stock their stuff, so no waiting for weeks like with Ballistic

That's one hell of a project Art. The Hammers is calling your name I see.

It's looking really good.

I'm done with the waterfall at Dishpan. Bigger tires, longer flex and lower gears and still couldnt make it up that damn think. I'm going to opt for an aussie in the rear.

This Hammers season I'm taking Khoren to ClawHammer but I'll make sure I have the Aussie by then.

Can't wait to see your new beast
