Basik Built taco

Solidworks, with the motion add ons, a good free one to play with is racing aspirations they have a little flash player app, I used an adjustable jig with some digital angle finders and cycled stuff a million times recording measurements

 

Well shit, solid works subscriptions are more than a LT kit

 

Well what are you trying to do?

 

Either a DIY or Weld it yourself LT kit.

 

And spend money

 

Read the thread I did on making mine, making mock up adjustable arms to zero in your dimensions in real life was the way to go and it was cheap to do

 

I actually thought about making a weld yourself kit, but there's soo much welding you have to do, it must be done in a fixture to keep it straight

 

Yea I been busy with life lol, gunna do motor mounts this weekend tho!

 

Solid mounts?

 

Yeap

 

Nice. Did you rebuild the cross brace yet?

 

The driver side motor mount sucks fat cock to get out if anyone is wondering

 

Motor mounts done! Talk about a pain in the ass! But totally worth it!

 

got off my ass and started making myself hiemed uppers....

 

you are building your own UCAs? damn!

 

Not many can get on Trav's level here. He really is the definition of builtnotbought.

Trav, how bout some action vids of this new rear setup? Have you even had a break from work to really put the hammer down and run it?

BTW, Iove your old setup man. The valving I went with is awesome on washboard. The truck perfoms so much better than expected. Even with my 34s I still polish the shock body at full stuff with the tire pressures down. I think im going to either build some shackles or try to use the OEM ones to lower the stinkbug until I get more weight in the back.

Heres some sexy flexy from last weekend

 

Yea I already built the LT lowers, uppers are easy!

 

Roger that....

 

Glad your liking the new setup! It really does work well! Mine I've ran it pretty hard maybe twice now lol but so far so good, gettin these uppers done then I'm goin out and gunna hammer it
