Since the shop is a little slow right now i've started working on the heep some. at the rate i'm going maybe one day it will be finished.
So what's the plan on this one? I know it's supposed to be milder than the last, but it should still get at least 38s.
i'm planning on running 40'' goodyears.
that'll workQuote:

Oooohhh. I have NV envy.

i traded my coilovers for some old goodyears :flipoff2:
i think they are taller than james's 42s
the transfer case came in so i went ahead and bolted it up to the tranny. they make a good pair.
nice choice on the H2 rims. Can't go wrong with them for as cheap as they have been going...not to mention they look sweet without the centercap. :gigem:
So clayton in december right.........no excuses
i hope so.
lookin good. Whens the engine going in?
waiting on my motor mount to come in and the motor should be in the first of next week.
by time i make a mount its cheaper to just buy one.
updates?
don't have time to take pics, but i will try later today.
cage is almost finished
made tie rod 1 5/8 O.D. X 13/16 I.D. drill and taped for 1" 16 thread for TRE.
dash is made but holes are not cut for gauges
the detriot is in the rear and welded the front.
motor is mounted and belly pan is made.
and other things.
a few pics
nice bellypan!
are you planning this for comp use? If so, is that enough cage?
nope its just for trail only
I like the belly pan. How thick is it? did you weld nuts into the frame? riv-nuts? or what. Have you thought about countersinking the bolts and using countersunk allen heads. then grease that thing up like a fifth wheel!
grayson those are factory skid plate holes
i will probably just use button head bolts, the plate is 1/4''
were i to do one, id just cut squares out of plate thicker than the bolt head with holes in the middle big enough for a socket to fit in. weld them to the skid plate then taper the edges off with a grinder.
i've seen that alot of people are buying H2 rims....why are they getting popular? Is the backspacing or what is the deal?
there are boocoos of them on ebay for cheap cuz every knee grow in town wants dubs on his hummer. 8 lug right? there are readily available CAD drawings for weld on beadlocks, and they look bangin' with different centercaps
or no centercaps, also Cody and St.John both confirmed that the the al-u-minium, is high quality and welds "real good"
they are the cheapest 8 lug 17" rim out there. I am even picking up a set this weekend in Austin. Set of 5 chrome (not that I wanted chrome) with new tires for $800
I thought toyota's were 6 lug
They are... I'm looking to the future for some BFG Krawlers, D60s, etc... Right now I can't afford the tires or the axles and I might just put them on the Dodge. Wheel spacer adapters are cheap :gigem:Quote:
