We started on the 44 this time.
Cleaning the tubes.
old_man decided to break out the sandblaster for the diff.
Nice and clean, we'll have to weld to the pumpkin a bit for the truss.
Hypoid showed up to lend a hand.
The TnT ubolt eliminators are very wide and do not play well with other trusses. We had to modify them to fit with the IRO truss.
hjeepxj checking his work.
The group checking out the finished truss.
A little fill weld from removing the leaf perches at the last session.
A little more finessing on the ubolt eliminator perches.
The finished product. The IRO truss is nice with integrated/raised bump stop pads.
It actually looks like we know what we are doing.
The last pic of the day, welded on the top plate to the truss and the UCA mount. Next Sunday we'll finish up the truss on the driver side, LCA mounts, sway bar mounts, and hub spacers.
