my motor only has 60k on it..it runs fine no reason to swap it out now..so ill blow it up first. Since Im running a divorced transfercase which means a 2wd tranny. When the motor swap comes i can use the tcase and just lengthen/shorten the shafts.. Ill swap something in bigger when the time comes I just dont see a point right now..plus id like to tackle one project at a time... |
finally got to work on the beast...
got the tubing bender up and running. all my Ballistic joints will be here Thursday only took a month to get :) http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...I/fd5b2f9d.jpg got my truss made on the front axle..well half of it rear isnt on yet. Also my DOM and joints came in for the tie rod bar. The joints are on the wrong side of the knuckle because down there it doesnt rub on lock..I have to do some handy work to the diff cover to clear it but dont wanna start machining on it until I get gears to make sure that they will clear http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...I/7d36116e.jpg next few days will be the rear truss and start of subframe.. |
Makes me wishing I was doing mine right now but I will only be running 37s at most w/4:88s. Looks awesome keep it going with the pics as it comes along.
|
I ran 4.88s on 37s for a while with the RCD ran good..not to great on highways but around town I was happy..
|
