Project "is it finished yet?" build thread

oh well at least you got bump stops fo free! My fenders wish I had bumpstops up front. Jeep looks sick though lowered.

Question, what would be better for welding my truss/perches for the front or rear.

200 amp MIG or...
250 amp Stick

The old man has the stick but one of his friends would more than likely let us use his MIG.

200 mig

much easier to control imo, and plenty of penetration

[CumminsJeep]

wow dude that rig looks sick!! i like it a lot better lowered and you wont be let down with those 5100s they are awesome

[Even]

Just ordered my steering materials and 44 cover from complete offroad, and my rear bumpstop plates from DPG. Bumpstops and 5100s should be in this week.

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

How much did EVB charge you for the 5100's if you dont mind me asking?

[Even]

I'm pretty sure it was like $338 shipped.

I started working on my 44 today and brought it over to get the truss/coil buckets/mounts welded and found out i ordered the radius arm truss by mistake Now i gotta send everything back to TNT so they can send me the truss for a leaf sprung 44. In the meantime i guess im gonna try to get the 60 underneath.

[wannabejeep]

wait you plan on running leaves up front?

[Even]

No when i ordered the truss that is exactly what i thought they meant by the descriptions on TNT's website. Both trusses are set-ups for radius arms. The "radius arm" truss is made for ford hp44's that came with cast or welded on wedges and wristed radius arms. The leaf sprung truss is set up for 44's that came with leaf spring mounts. I technically could use the truss i have now, but the guy at TNT told me it would be a hell of a lot more cutting and work then i would want to do.

Talked to the driveshaft guy yesterday, gonna spend the extra money and put a 1350 yoke on the end instead of a combo joint. Something was fucked up with the yoke and he didn't recommend using it.

UPS man graced me with some packages, already in a good mood

- Complete Offroad steering
- DPG rear bumpstop plates
- Trail Defense 44 cover

nice. now get it on your jeep! slacker.

[Ktmracer419]

hurry the fuck up

[Even]

Tommorow i'm gonna try to get the 60 underneath. Wake up, pull the 8.25 out, run down to EVB so they can mount/balance my tires on the 8 lugs. Run back home, weld perches on, possibly some shock mounts. Hook the lines up, run back pick up wheels/tires, drop it down.

Sounds like a busy day you have planned. Wheres evb?

[wannabejeep]

wanna get rid of the 8.25
