Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

So Harry was nice enough to mark cut lines for the inner fenders on my truck.


I was checking it out this morning then I noticed the extra work that JDFab is always doing for their customers!!

 

signed original. almost as good as a banksy.

 

Harry clocks out from jd fab and his alter ego Spanksky starts leaving “art” all over local trucks that aren’t done being built.

 

The canyon section on the north end?

 

Yea, the last mile coming up from the south. We dubbed it "The Longest Mile". We all took some form of damage from it. In the end, were glad we did it. But going to be a bit till attempting again for a few.

Oh, and CanyonLands Needles Elephant hill is Fxxking awesome. Camping back there is worth doing every year.

 

Dang, so you headed down? Last time I was there was ‘18, and it was significantly more tore up that first time running it in 16’.

 

Yea, it was crazy. The write up and pics coming.

 

Is that a cut inside the lines or outside the lines kinda deal....lmao

 

Happy Monday mr @81Trekker. Not seeing any special notes on the website for the steering pump kits. That mean they are ready? Only thing I’d need “special” would be a different belt that works with the supercharger

 

@kasnerd still hasn’t found the 12 dicks I drew on his frame…I used a black paint pen

 

yes

 

these are the final results after playing with the taco tabs. Caster seems low, but I'm nowhere near the firewall. I think I can live with this.


Anyone that has boxed/trussed the rear- are you able to look in your rear view mirror and not see it bouncing all over the place? Mine is really noticeable. I’m thinking having an empty bed might make it worse.

 

didn't draw any dicks on yours, figured the one driving was bad enough...




honestly haven't gotten under it besides an oil change and emptying out all the loose bolts and nuts @81Trekker squirreled away for winter on top of the skid.

like sharpie black? brb...

 

that first picture from Zac was deceiving, just camera angle and light...had me going back to the CAD being like wtf happened haha..second questioning myself lol

 

Yea honestly when the question was asked I was like wtf I don't remember those being there

 

I used these when I retrofitted F150 arms with uniballs back in college when I knew how to turn on a welder. I used them to keep the uniball cups from warping when welding. They worked great but maybe not so much since the length of the air bump can is much longer.

 

Yes! I can still see it moving around. Until you brace and plate all the way under the cab the flex between the cab and bed will still be there.

 

Well poo. I have Archive’s cross tube coming soon so hopefully that’ll help. I was going to take the bed off and see what else could be done. I wanted to get right in that bend and put a crossmember, but the gas tank is in the way. When I built my transfer case skid I went a little further back in hopes of strengthening the middle a bit.

 

I have mine plated all the way through the bend to where it goes under the cab. It's going to take more than just crossmembers you'll need some triangulation as well.

 

Cage it or don't bother is how I feel honestly. I don't think boxing the back of the frame does much. Even with my bed cage as essentially a giant cross member the bed still moves around a tonne.
