Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

I just take pride in my hard work lol doesn’t bother me though. No need to have a dick measuring contest.

 

Sound kinda sour

 

Nah not at all lol

 

What happened to Spoonman? Get the hammer for starting a body damage or no body damage debate - he rails on his rig and I’ve seen pics of my neighbors LJ do a lot of technical things with minimal scars - just driving style essentially. Whatever you like go for it!

 

No way he got banned for that!

He messaged me on insta asking if I reported him lol. That’s big fat no. I took no offense to his shit hahaha. Been hit on pirate way harder and said way worse on here so not sure what’s the deal. He’s still active on pirate and irate though.

 

Who has links/pictures of guys who cut the front frame rails off and remade them.

 

Saw the alert and only saw this pic when I clicked



laughed when that seemed to be the only pic that was posted (phone screen didn’t show others until I scrolled). Right on.

 

Sweet thanks man. What size and thickness tubing you use? Assuming .188 wall?

 

Check our my build thread, I also used Allenfabs and ZUK build on yotatech when I did mine.

 

I believe I used 2x3 x 3/16 (whatever wall thickness that comes out to, cant remember), all my scab plates were 3/16 as well.

 

Sweet. Does 2x3 slide in the existing frame?

 

Yes but you have to pie cut the frame all around to get it to fit, I believe I have a pic of it and you can see it in allenfabs thread. You will see once you hack it off and stick the tube in there. If I had to do it again, i would raise the pax side up to clear the steering linkages when flexed. I narrowed my front frame which has some pros and cons to it.

 

Probably one of the nicest ones I've found. And like the design of it.

As slander said, 2x3 3/16” and it slides in loosely, so plating and all that will be needed

 

Cool thanks guys. Anyone raise their motor while doing all this? wondering how much i can raise it without cutting the hood. Going for as much up travel without raising ride height.

 

I would think the trans would hit the tunnel before you would have engine and hood clearance.

 

I know mine will cause I already pushed it up as much as possible so I’ll clearance the tunnel. Just don’t want to cut a hole in the hood. I’m willing to cut the hood bracing though
