Ross's Jeep that will take longer than Rob's to build thread...

The truss isnt even close to the oil pan :moon:



The draglink/trackbar are ~1" away from the pan at bump, the truss is 3"+.

Well if you hadn't been a tard and cut off the stock arms, you could have run crossover steering and brought the whole rig down lower.

Speak for yourself


64.5" width for me

 

[MoparManiac]

That's right.

You had to order dumb wheels because you regretted narrowing it.

:laugh:

 

[foxwar71]

I got cool wide wheels like Rob.

Smart man. :thumbup:

 

[MoparManiac]

Your wheels put you at pretty much the same width as me on H2s

Except you wasted a lot of time and effort to get there :laugh:

Shhhhh I am going to tell Ross his axle is awesome till he narrows my 44 for me :moon:

 

[mini=man]

Sounded dumb on the phone last night, actually looks cool though. KEEP WORKING! Our break in run should be the same day

 

[5-Speed XJ]

yeah man keep at it !

 

[foxwar71]

Got the shock mounts all done and the coil bucket plating done too. Bumpstop towers and stuff are all done and in place, just gotta add some gussets on the inside to it and prep it for an engine hoop. Got the lower pads all built too, used some 3.5" round UHMW with some B7 threaded rod to hold it all together. Theres a plate between that and the actual lower coil bucket that has a tab to hold the coil in too.

Right about at right hieght.

Back on its own wieght again.

Time to yank the front end for one last time and then out it all back together for one last time. Gotta make sure I get some paint all over it too.

Re: Ross's Jeep that might actually get done...Might

Looks good. I thought you streched you wheel base buy bringing the front axle forward? but in this pic it looks like its sitting farther back?

The coil buckets are straight up on the axle tube, so that's a little stretch there. The arms aren't fully adjusted yet too, that will push a little bit more and line evrything up better. My front driveshaft is gunna hate life too, angles kinda suck on it.

One thing I see with this is the bump and the platform are not perpindicular. As the axle travels up, it will be also slightly arching outwards, and it is going to turn that airbump into a cantilever on the inner fender. I would not be surprised if you end up bending either the mount or the bump.

I agree with Mark on that one.

But I think Ross has his pinion pointed way high in this pic. I doubt it's what it will really look like.
