SpareParts Build Thread...Linked and tons!

Rear axle housing got tweaked some how, so I've upgraded to a full truss from RuffStuff and started over on the rear with a new housing. Here's how it came out.


Shaved the rear...

Starting to set up the truss...

Painted and ready to install...

And tested New Years Eve and Day at 2 offroad parks!!

Very impressive. I've considered swapping my beefed up rear 60 for a 14 bolt and shaving it. There are other ugrades ahead of that on the list, but it's been in the back of my mind for a while now.

It's always good to see you and your family on the trail. I'm glad I've been able to make it to OCBR and you've made it to east coast events also to wheel together. See you on a trail soon!

 

[SpareParts]

It was good to see you too, Twice last year! Till next time!

Thanks, that means a lot. I'm glad it helps others as well as pushes me to make it better.

Been a little busy on my own stuff in the shop as well as helping some buddies out. I finished off the rest of the rear quarter armor. All is plated in 3/16" steel.

David, any certain reason you bolted them on instead of welded? not sure which I am going to do yet.
think I am going with 1/8" for my lowers, instead of 3/16" like the rest, will be a little easier to form the bottom curve I think

 

[SpareParts]

I bolted them on so I can remove them to go back to original if I ever wanted or to remove them and just repaint them of need be.

 

[Skiddy]

Thank you, kind of what I was thinking. more I dig on mine the more bondo I find especially taillight housing at least 1/4" thick fraid to remove all of it lol
