552Jrider's 02 DC Build

The bushings in them are done in them anyway. Haven't been able to find a replacement that's not the same crappy rubber ones yet so I'm just gonna try to hold off until I can get co's

 

How was adding the Swingout to the all pro bumper ?? All custom by yourself ?

 

Damn! That looks good! Love those wheels too

 

It went ok. I did do it all myself but it was a little rushed before my Moab trip. The major issue is the whole bumper flexes when it's open. Not sure there's much I can do about it yet. Have to investigate it when I go to finish it up soon.

Thanks. They are alright. Not my favorite but I like them better then the steelies I had before.

 

Meh. Mediocre build at best...

 

Probably should update this thread more often. Current project I've been working on:
Boxing and reinforcing the rear section of the frame


Arb compressor mount and air tank mount. This should save a little weight with this setup vs my previous 20lb co2 setup.


Also decided to build a rear hitch into the frame. My last All Poo hitch hung so low I constantly got hung up on rocks



Also doing new leafs, a shock relocation, u bolt flip and new bump stops and longer shackles.



I also swapped out my stock 8.4" rear axle for an elocker rear end. I decided to add an axle truss and some diff armor while I had it out and then coated it some steel it.



On top of all that I'm deleting my abs as well as the lspv.

 

Fixed it

 

Damn super jealous! Can't wait until I can do that amount of work when I get a house and learn to weld haha. Glad you fixed the pics

 

Looking good Jeremy! Any ETA on when you'll be ready to head back out to the trails?

 

Thanks. Currently waiting on my 10" kings to sell to buy a set of 12" for the new towers. Hoping to get it done by the time the snow melts up in the sierras for at least a few good trips this year.

 

Sweet! Let me know when your ready for a shake down run. I'll be doing as much crawling as I can once I get my crawler in.

 

Alright will do.
I definitely want to check out the new part of slick rock and finish the rest of Niagra rim.

 

Your truck is what my truck wants to be when it grows up. If I knew how to subscribe I'd have done it already.

 

Sub'd

 

Got the ABS delete partially done today. Just waiting on the non abs hard lines to arrive and a longer rear break line.

 

Got the Front Range brake line and front non abs lines installed and the brakes bled.



Also got the new bump stop strike pads made and tacked on. I made them a little wider towards the inside so when one side is at full droop and full stuff the bump will still properly contact.
