Friendly Motivational Buildoff?

ya know seth, if i was building a race truck to run at laguna seca i would worry about that, but really its a street truck so i have no concern....

that wood in there for ur subs or wuts up?

Yea, it had two 12z built in, but the boxed leaked and rattled like hell, so it's going away too. So I got the bag mounts tacked in and will hopefully finish everything (suspension wise), tomorrow...

I figured you knew, since your fab shows experience. And you are right it will do great for a street driver. I just figure people should be aware of it when they come to that point so they can make their own decision. I have done something similar myself. Just depends what you want to do with the vehicle.

Here's a teaser of the front end.

Damn you guys are good. I'm a rook at this, and this is my first build, but I love seeing the innovation you guys use, it's good to soak in. When I get back to my 92 I hope to go a little further, but baby steps are necessary. Keep up the siiiik work!!

Got the bags in for mockup, but they're not bolted all the way in, and they're two different bags!! Long story....



Added some support to tie in frame and I will add support bars to the tops of the bag plates later...

BEEN SLACKIN ON THE PICS, BUT NOT THE WORK. RE DID THE REAR BAG MOUNTS THE BOTTOM OF THE LIFT BAR WOULD HAVE BEEN TO CLOSE TO THE GROUND. SO I FIXED ALL THAT AND GOT THE LIFT BARS FINALLY MADE. WHAT A PAIN.... JUST HAVE TO WELD UP THE TOP AND BOTTOM PLATES. SO CLOSE TO STARTING THE FRONT SO CLOSE....













UNTIL THEN.... SEE YA!

Those bars are sick!



I had an idea late last night, to build a boxed style gusset with a hole (tube) welded in the center of it. So today I cut out enough pieces to build 4, and got one welded together. It's way overkill, but I think it matches the arms well and I like it. Also you may notice in the last picture, the laser cut piece I got for the spindle with my crown logo on it.

looks pretty good the only thing I would do though is flip your lower bars around though. I say this because as soon as you go to adjust them for pinion angle or any reason your bag mounts will not be where you set them.
