intrigued by radius arms...

[SupermanIce-J]

leave the 30 in there and just wheel is what i say

you want a mild streetable rig, keep it that way

the 44 isnt a huge improvement worth undertaking IMO..but thats just me

That was the plan....I will build everything while the 30 is in.frame mounts and such then on a weekend I don't work... bam new axles. with easy long arms (although not the greatest ones i will admit.)

As far as streetability goes this is my new DD so I am not just going to hack it together. It will stay Pa street legal and be a comfy dd if I build it right.

easy long arms (although not the greatest ones i will admit.)

but betta than short arms

Took it for some speed running and trail riding in the barrens this past weekend.







Things I learned in my first extended speed running...

1.Shocks get hot enough to cook eggplants on
2.The faster you go the smoother it is... until you nail a phawkin2-3 ft dip...then it sucks.
3.Tie your shit down unles you don't care about shit hitting you and tearing up the inside of your vehicle.

Some other kewl shots.



needs moar locker... but sweet drift.


Fixing an air leak.

No ford radius arms.

How do you plan to make them work? Are you going to re-tube the 44 or just sell and find another with weld on wedges?

He isn't going with the Ford radius arms anymore he got free set rustys long arms last weekend and a bubba burger...

[Trailer Ray]

SADE Update.

After my workout this morning at the gym I decided to take a lil dirt access road detour that ended up in this.





and a fender crunch from tire contact.

Working out a devious plan right now on how i want to fix this before this weekend (going to my friends beach house this weekend)

EDIT 6/30 @ 3:00: Ordered a set of RK HD LCA axle mounts... and might have a garage with a lift lined up from my good friend... and a 220 welder.

[SupermanIce-J]

I am going to the boneyard tonight to pick up a new front axle assembly! but while i have the old one out I figured I might as well make use of the front frame stiffeners I had laying in my garage.

[SupermanIce-J]

So I thought I would bump this to say i have a woodgrain interior.

Just bought a set of bilstien 7100's for the rear... and they will be going through the floor.

I am working with my friend who works for River Raider to weld up a truss on my 30 with c-gussets and some other goodies and to also weld in my full uni-stifeners to mount my uuber custom sliders to...

Trying to decide if i want to run a traditional style front bumper like a jcr...with out a hoop so as to not look like heavymetal. or make a toob bumper like the old TNT rockrunner.

And for the rear the same thing except something like a C-ROk or a toob bumper.

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

Make your own bumper. It makes you feel a lot warmer inside

[SupermanIce-J]

I will most likely make it... I am torn on whether I want the clean look of a plate bumper
Front


Rear


Or the agressive look of the toob bumper.
