"Z-ing" Process...

does any have pics of the Z process...any info will help thanks... L8TR

Sit the framerails on some tubing that equals the amount of Z you need.. Tack the 1" tubing into place where the cut will be, and at the front of the clip where it will be cut also.. (Keeping everything level).. Cut the frame along the side of the tubing to ensure a good straight cut.. Remove the tubing from under the frame rails so that the frame lays flat with the front crossmember. Weld it back up, plate the sides.

Ricky, What's up man, thanks for info and the pics this will really give me a better understanding of the things I have to do...L8TR

No problem, I knew I had some pics saved from a while back.. I forgot who posted them, but they were some of the best pics I could find. Good luck man!

HEY BRO WHAT SIZE IS THAT SQUARE TUBING THAT IS USED TO WELD TO THE FRAME

Looks like 1"

BUT HOW THICK?

Not positive (not my pics) but I'd think it's maybe 3/16".. That or larger, even 2x2 would work.

Hey Ricky those pics you posted are from the Z i did on my old yota! HAHA

It doesnt matter what wall thickness 1x1 you got its just to hold the front clip from tilting forwards or backwards after its cut from the rest of the frame and making cut guides. You take them off when its welded.
