45acp’s DIVORCED build!

that looks great man.

im not a pro. but maybe post in the lt bs thread where the pros are and see what they think.

 

Good point, thanks

 

Some more pics for a clearer idea of where it's going -





I just can't seem to picture how I'm gonna fit braces length-wise to the stinger. (Would be nice to have, but probably not necessary.)

 

should make changing the tcase oil easier...

Back up on jack stands. This time it's around ride height and the jackstands won't be in the way of the links this time.

Dat cage tho

Coming together nicely

 

Thanks man! I hope it works out okay, considering it was installed before shocks, radiator, turbo, etc.

Also something worth posting -

I replaced the tcase's front output flange with a larger one that I pulled from the rear output on one of my spare tcases. I'll be able to run CVs front and rear now.

Fits better than what I originally had.

I'm not surprised though... my bowling and golfing are better when I've been drinking too.

I'd keep going, but I polished off the whole bottle.

 

I need that flat pitman arm...

 

I wish.

I picked up mine from Low Range

That's what im planning to do, but going to see if they'll swap this drop arm for the flat one

 

Monte, hopefully this'll paint a more accurate picture than 'a metric shit-ton'.

In addition to making the crossmember on top removable, I'm gonna see what I can do about making the X removable as well.

 

I like the idea of doing the radiator and IC on that slant with dual pusher e fans perhaps.

 

Yeah that's the idea, at least for the radiator anyway. Gonna cram as big a radiator as I can fit. Same with the intercooler, but I don't want to block the airflow to the radiator too much.

The oil cooler/filters will likely be mounted remotely, and probably in the extra cab portion behind the passenger seat.

 

Any idea if a intercooler core size of 24"x12" is substantial enough?

 

3'' core?

 

I guess that is open to whatever. There's at least 6"-8" of depth I could potentially work with. 12x24 is the largest I run I think. Aren't deeper ones gonna reduce airflow though?

If not, I was looking at this one
