Someone else's build. SC linked 4DR XLT

So today Jeff sent me this picture he said he has gotten the interior back but this was clearly before and the cage is black. Can't wait to go and drive my truck again. Almost been a year and I'm dying to do stupid things in it

 

Not much picture updates but did get a picture of the truck with the new axle and some new blue parts.

Decided since I am going for the "race truck" idea but still street truck guess I needed a real jack for the truck

Hopefully only a few more months the truck will be down

 

Lots of mocking up.nothing is final but slowly getting there

 

Decided to do some crappy wiring. Not pretty but will do just fine...

Some bed cage work from some time ago. Not having the traditional tubes from the roof. Coming under the bed line. Wanting it to be as sleeper as possible

Interior is like 90-95% done

Decided why not go full dummy wanna be trophy truck


Also have decided by the end of the year I am gonna swap front kits... Going solo xlt. Was going to just get their spindles and lower uniball but for few more $$ can get the kit, then sell my kit.
Hoping to get my truck soon.. Will be a year soon

 

So the front kit is going up for sale. Figured I would
Post it up here first.would like local or semi local for the sale. Truck in in San Diego but I live in Torrance. So I would be willing to drive a little
Literally everything is for sale. 3600 for everything 3k without shocks 650 for shocks alone.would like to try and sell everything if possible


King 8" 2.5 coil overs unknown valving (sold)
Camburg 3.5 kit(10k miles) with newer ball joints(maybe 2k miles) truck has been sitting for over a year
Brand new camburg limit straps(never installed on kit)
Total chaos 4wd axles about 6k miles
Will include spindles as well with chaos gussets.installed painted.
Pretty much full suspension,keeping breaks and things like that but will give extended break lines

The kit is in good condition other than the scratches on the bottom of the kit.shocks were rebuilt few months before the truck went into the shop

Will be taking off he kit in a month or so. So this is more of a heads up

 

So I actually got my kit,shocks, upgraded steering.just waiting for my axles now.and talk about beefy.the spindles are freaking badass.cant wait until this project is own it's own weight and I can finally rip it in the dirt again.not so good of pictures because I was in a hurry and needed to put it away until I can get out to jeffs place





d44 hubs. Still have boxes and bags full of parts as well.


Also anyone have a link to put the battery in the bed.want to start getting the parts?

 

Here's a few - I'm going to be putting a dual battery setup and an air compressor in my bed when my rear is finished:

Just a basic wiring diagram:

Got my kit and did a mock up. With out cutting fender well,which will happen was 17.5 metal to metal. So after everything shooting for a clean bumped and strapped at 17 after fire wall and fender well is cut. Have to build my axles then go back out so we can get it ready for true cycling. Solo motorsports was amazing customer service and crazy amazing quality of work




Was having issues with some things so build should be back on track. Hoping to be picking up the truck by the end if the year.

Well done. Have thought of doing this to mine. But can't justify it.

 

​

 

I'm curious how those axles do because from the looks of it they aren't a true CV axle.

 

Am I wrong? The U-joint creates a variable angular velocity at the wheel causing vibration. I'm guessing that's why they use manual hubs.

 

Lol doesn’t cause vibration. It is used to get more travel

 

Anyway.. awesome truck! This thing is going to a juggernaut. 4x4, linked rear, xlt front, this is unprecedented!

I've seen second gens on similar setups just dominate whoops and such, this truck truck will be like 1,000 lbs lighter!

 

Definitely can't wait to rip it in the dirt.
Yea it's got cv one side and the spindle side is the u-joint to be able to pull more travel. When I talk to solo he said I will never have binding problems with the axles. Unless I pass a good 20" which I don't see happening. If it's even possible

 

Saw this at jeffs last week when I dropped off my truck.... looking badass man! Was drooling over the new solo kit

 

You stop by the shop lately man?

 

I was there maybe 2-3 weeks ago. But don't get to go out there much.
