Malburg114's 3Link go fast SAS

After a 10 day work week, finally found a few hours before going into work tonight.
Bypass mounts done. Onto the diff armor.

 

Picture dump

 

More work done. Started welding on the engine cage

 

Engine cage is 90 percent done. Battery terminal ends crimped on. Moving along
Welding tube is hard that’s for sure. And some of the hood boy when he wanted to help the other day

 

Engine cage is done. Frame is 95% done. Won’t lie. Some of the backside welds look bad. But it’ll all hold. Bumpstops welded. Upper shock mounts welded. Link mounts welded. Crossing things off quick.

 

Dude, so much clean custom work!

 

Thanks it’s getting close now

 

Photos from the last few days. Been hitting it hard with long hours but it’s showing at least and got it on its own weight for the first time today

 

And some of the fab work from the last few days

 

Few more

 

More stuff done

the ram mount is super low. Doesn’t fit anywhere and want to be able to use the winch as a suck down as well so made a Ram skid. Just have to finish grinding to fit and then some dimples and half circles and it’ll be done

 

Ram skid is done besides welding and hood pins in.

front bar is 1.75x.120 wall and sleeved with 1.5x.25. Should be plenty strong and plate is 3/16 with 1.75 dimples and half circles.

 

Hammer slipped today.....

Got all the steering lines plumbed, transmission cooler plumbed, steering connected. Going to pull the axle next and get it ready for paint.

 

Man you need a friend with a plasma table. Or I can just send you things lol.

Looks good though!

 

My dad had a 4x4 plasma table and cuts me things all the time but lives out of state now so I end up doing a lot of thing by hand... the outside and half circles I cut with my plasma. I tried the simple holes with a circle jig I made but I’m not steady enough to have a clean hold so I dd most with a hole saw. Time consuming but I think it was worth it

 

Finger still hurts. But more done. Only a few welds left and then time for paint and reassembly. I did start painting some of the axle parts

 

Front axle and links painted. Got the gf out there to help rotate and move stuff. Steel it paint makes it look like I almost know how to paint haha

 

Frame is painted. I start assembling everything tomorrow hopefully

 

Such a nice build can't wait to see it finished.
