2011 Linked SAS, with some Extra Spicy Cantilever Taco

Pretty stoked on how the towers came out...


Bump Stop pads going on axle next week...
Still Not Full Droop...

 

I'm interested to see what I'm assuming is going to be a shock tower brace. Some pictures of the frame-side link mounts would be cool too. Can't remember if there were any pictures of those.

Looks awesome! And it's moving FAST!

 

Shock Tower Support worked out great...It will be easy to remove for maintenance


With the Manual Trans shit got a little tight...

 

Thanks Lee, I posted up some more pics...At work and playing on my build thread at the same time..lol

 

It really is a sweet build. If I absolutely had to pick something I didn't really love, it'd be the driver's side bump stop tube.



Not because I don't think it will do the job or that it looks ugly, but it looks like it's going to be difficult to get paint up in behind those gussets to keep rust from forming, more so on the forward one--that and it looks like a place that will collect mud and trail dirt that will be a PITA to clean...especially once the coilover is installed.

Other than that, it's beautiful.

 

It looks like the shock bottoms out before the bump even engages

 

Its

Lol Its all good man...Great part about living in the desert is we don't have the huge rust issue! The truck will be completely pulled apart and frame is going to be professionally sprayed. As for dirt/mud...Well I will enjoy pressure washing her every weekend with a beer..

 

He did mention the bump stop pads aren't on yet. I'm sure that will be addressed when they're on.

 

You are correct...Comment under pic..Bump Stop pads are going on axle next week! Truck is still in the works but we are getting close

 

Sweet! Gonna be some tak bump pads! Looks awesome

 

Thanks man..I had the brake lines pre-ran down the axle, well now in the way for Bump pads so a little extra work first. The pads will be a little custom but should have pics next weekend

 

looking great! That's some beautiful welding right there. I bet anxiety is killing you to see it finished

 

Yupp mee to I can only imagine how excited @THROTTLE231 must be, hahaha cause I'm super excited to see the whole thing done

 

Thank you... Oh man you don't even know. I can't wait to see it finished and go wheeling.

 

Thank youIts been two years in the making, from buying parts to saving mucho $$

 

This is my face 24/7haha Next week the front/rear bumpers and sliders should be completed.

 

Had some new link mounts made to replace the previously purchased mounts.



A little side by side comparison of brackets...(Old on left and New on Right) Wanted to keep the same quality throughout build.



I can't say it enough how bad ass my Fabricator is



A little "Walking the cup" "Bob and weave" Call it what you want... I call it weld porn

 

Very purty. I like the triangular lightning holes a lot and the welds are definitely prettier. In fairness though, with the exception of that first comparison picture, if they hadn't been sitting side-by-side, I don't think I would have objected to the purchased set. The first one, though, kinda looked like it was put together out of scrap pieces.

Do we get to see them in place on the truck?

 

haha...Yeah I hear you man, that's why I did not say who the vendor was. You are correct a few looked like crap and the rest were not bad
