Official build thread.

Thank man! ^^

Well I ordered my 2" O.D. by 0.25 square tubing today for my extended radius arms. Will be ordering my Johnny Joints from Currie next paycheck (they're as big as a soda can) and the weld-in bungs from Ballistic Fabrication. Time to get serious!!
 
Adding in my labor costs, It'll be just as much if not more for you to buy them from James duff.

I take it there is no safety inspections out there in PA.?

cause when I lived in MO. If you did anything like that a certified frame shop had to sign off on it, then get inspected by the highway patrol
 
Lol I work at a certified frame shop. That's where it's getting welded. Either way, the mounts are copied from Aftermarket extended radius arms and are 50 state legal the way Im doing it.

nice, yeah MO was a pain in the ass if you did anything like that. unless you knew an inspector willing to look the other way.
 
Okay, I've been slacking on updates. I've decided to sell the lift I bought and do a full out custom longarm build with custom steering. Im aiming for 20+ inches of usable wheel travel.

Parts are as followed:

Misc. Steel & tubing
Ballistic Fab flex joints and DOM bushing inserts
F250 shock brackets
12" travel shocks (Rough Country N2.0)
4.5" Early Bronco coils (roughly 280 ppi)
1 ton GM T.R.E's
Misc. tubing inserts for custom Stonecrusher steering setup
Rough Country Stainless steel braided brake hoses

Im sure there's other stuff Im forgetting. I'll add it as it arrives.

My $35.00 purchase WITH good u-joints.

nice, should have fun trying to break the 1 ton tie rod ends hahaha
 
Eh, Rocks really arent my thing. I love me some nice slick flexy trails. I usually end up snagging the steering on a stump or something stupid. Did I mention my steering links will be 1.5" OD 1/4" wall DOM tubing? :D
 
I keep forgetting different terrain from here we have mountains and boulders and sand hahaha
