White Delight Solid Axle Swap

I had a bush rip one of my flares of while wheeling. I just ripped the rest of them off myself and plugged the holes

 

I'm entering into a car show March 3rd before I completely wreck this thing. I might get some fiberglass bedsides if they work with the shell. Otherwise I'm going with what you did

 

They probably wont work with a shell. The top rails on the fiberglass bedsides flare out, and I don't think any shells work with them. You built a monster - fiber bedsides won't last anyway...let it be a monster!!!

 

Hell yeah man nice build. All these link builds lol

Dude! Im stoked you like it! I totally missed that whole deal, I was so busy last month. I should post a real thread and show you guys the lights, gauges, sound system, switches, wiring, and what she actually sounds like when she runs. Little easier on the eyes then JUST the under carriage haha

 

Great stuff Gavin! Very helpful thread

 

Thanks for the support dudes! I've been slacking on the thread but I need to finish it. The speedometer is within 1 mile per hour with a 32 tooth gear. Mixed with 37s and 4.88s. Also I been hearing a lot on the steering linkage being too small for my application. If you haven't bought yet I would search around for maybe a bigger steering linkage. Mine made it through a winter in Utah and an abnormal amount of aggressive wheeling I ain't worried but I still wanna up the heim sizes and linkage when mine goes out. The build is totally worth it guys! The front axle is one beefy sucker. Lockers rip. 14" Kings are mans greatest invention. And 37s are sooo sick lol it will turn your truck into a wheeling machine! I'm always up for questions if you guys have any

 

Looking good man!!!

 

I said it before and I'll say it again. Well done and badass!

 

Where'd you get the brake lines from slacker?

 

Looks killer GavinMine is finally in the shop getting started...Cant wait to join the 2nd gen SAS club

 

Haha shots fired lol. I went to Evco house of hose. They might have one in Hawaii? It was something like 56" long if you mount your little 90 brake line deal to the right of the drivers side bucket. With your truck having passenger side upper link I would run my brakes down that side on the link. Same setup just opposite side.

 

So I know this probably doesn't matter in a offroad beast machine for most people, but what kind of MPG are you getting? I have 34s still with stock lower control arms and a 3" lift all around with 4.88s and if i drive 75 MPH I get about 12-14 MPG. if i drive 65 i will get somewhere between 14-16 MPG. Just wondering. thank you

Ya with the 37s, 4.88s and basically a 9" lift I get 12 mpg at 70 and about 6 mpg when I'm driving in the mountains.

 

Ok. Well I guess It doesn't get much worse from here haha. Thank you

 

Smiles per gallon!

 

Well there's something you don't see every day. Looks mean!

 

Great job!

 

Not sure how I missed this one!
