Hey guys, havent been on here in a while so i figure i better update ya!
Have all the axle parts ready to go but first i need to build a truss for the axle that will serve as a mounting area for my panhard bar and hydraulic assist steering ram. Built one out of 1.5"x.120 wall square tubing but it just wasnt beefy enough. So i headed to the scrap yard and picked up some 2"x3"x.25" wall tubing. Heres how the two compare:
And heres the truss unwelded (i finished welding but my camera crapped out)
So now i have to notch the ends then weld it to the housing. After that, the axle goes together
.
Also i have the beadlocks all painted and ready to go on the wheels. Heres the wheel:
And with beadlock ring (its olive ddrab green, darker than it looks in the pic):
Thats the update! Will post more pics when ive got em. Thanks everyone!
