Build my own UCA's

I say do it yourself if you can. People get too hung up on what kind of "extensive R&D" they think needs to go into this stuff, things aren't measured down to the .001", heck if you saw how helicopters were built I'm sure you wouldn't wanna ride in them anymore.

Try it, use adjustable heim joints instead of bushings maybe and that'll help fine tune your alignment more on the rough copies then build the jig off those final measurements and burn them in, or cut the pieces and fit them and get a buddy to weld them.

I was thinking of making my own long travel front end a similar way. Ideally I wanted to get the front frame section off a Tacoma for mock up and to cycle so I didn't have to take my truck off the road, or I'll just buy a beater to drive while I work on it.

 

It's a bad idea don't do it!!!


lol

I'm building my second LT kit

1.0



2.0



Don't get discouraged just make sure you know how to weld. You can start with a adjustable mock up Like I did both times



Then get jiggy with it



My first one was all card board templates and now I'm using the comp

 

Respect to the two last people that posted. Never hurts to try. I trust my welds a million times. Time to go for it.

 

well the jig is made from cold rolled normal steel

for the parts they are 120wal DOM with a splash of Cromo
