Ugly Gold 4 door Hoor SAS-LS

Haha. I have nice 8” red wing w composite toe but at the shop I wear timberlines are converse all stars. In summer I will wear all stars or flip flops unless I’m grinding.

 

Finally figured out how to keep this pig in place while cycling. I think I have the steering figured out. At 24.5 frame height I have 6” up all day long right now w bulky shaft and motor mounts. Have to cut frame mount for trac down but steering seems fine. Just have to get the flat pitman on.

Tac on the trac mount broke before I could get better pics.

 

You gonna need new seats?

 

i am but not for a few months. You had those in your 1st gen? How much do you want for them?

 

Not leaving til this gear is mounted.

 

Got fuck all done on truck but pitman will be here tomorrow I hope and I got these finally. So hopefully this weekend I can tac box on and cycle a little.


But the most important thing! Future link mount fabber! Drove over an hr for the damn ram.

 

Gotta clean it up and cross brace but seems good. Need dies to get here.

 

Been doing tile jobs and trim work instead of working on my damn land yacht. But, Trail gear pitman arm works but super close. 6.5” eye to eye. Shoulda got the sky 5.8” Gotta move gear like 1/2” more forward to be safe.

Next time I post pics it’s gonna be steering, trac mounted and ready for links. I only drank beer, pumped the Jack and stared at it deeply for 2 hrs tonight. Progress maybe.

 

I know the feeling, when building something like this. Hang in there, it will get better and definitely be worth it.

 

Thanks man. Yeah it’s been a frustrating week and a half. Today was better cause I could cycle and things seem to work as long as axle housing doesn’t come forward too much on up travel.

It’s so tight. It’s like drag, tie rod, pan. Like 1/4 inch max between them. Shoulda took a pic. I’m gonna tac then slam both sides. If that works then I should be good.

1.75” dom trac and upper link may have to change to 1.5. It’s that tight.

 

Got these damn things done. What a project. Took all day. Steering done. Just have to clean up gear mount.

 

Damn that's beefy. Looking good.

 

Clear the diff cover?

 

Yeah, it is about 2 inches from hitting. The trac mount is about 2.5" in front of axle and it clears that at full steer as well. Yeah it looks close in the pics but its more roomy from the side.

 

Okay, wanted to make sure now before you start putting it together and have to redo it again!

 

Lol. Already fucked up and welded one on a few weeks ago that didn’t work.

This one sat half done and got cycled many a times before I committed to welding.

 

Any good pictures yet of this bad@s$ built yet

 

Maybe. Or maybe I just learned how to use a bench grinder as a lathe. You are the one who should be posting pics of your build anyway! Why you holdin out?

 

full disclosure, had kid blockers like you! My son got exposed to someone who had “Covid” so he has been doing virtual at home all week. I’m single so I was at home too!

Got a bunch of Dumb shit done though. Hopefully post pics of it twisting w wheels on tomorrow.

 

Because my camera broke

It's tight and cycled the suspension cleared the frame and tire
Added some rear tower brace
