Custom Explorer Chassis Build

[slammedxonair]

Update: since I didnt like how the Heidts crossmember brackets looked I decide to cut some new ones that looked better out on teh cnc. I'm still debating on if I want to plate them or not. I also pulled the frame off the jig and brought it out side for some current full pics. I still need to adjust the rear control arms to get some rear camber. Right now its way positive.

That looks amazing.

How are you going to mount bags to it or are you using something else?

 

[slammedxonair]

I still have to fab the mounts. I cut out some brackets on the CNC the other day, just some standard torsion style brackets but I want to make them look custom in some way lol. Thanks for the comment.

Hello everyone. Here is a quick update I've been pretty busy lately and haven't taken many pics, but so far half of the welds on the frame are ground down and I got the shear load gussets ready to go.

 

[slammedxonair]

I got almost all the grinding done on the butt welds and metal finnished other than a couple on the bottom.
