Gonna be badass!! I don't know why, but I'ver really liked this build from the beginning. Will the owner ever frequent the forums? Either way, thanks for keeping us posted.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

he does, but more as a lurker instead of a post whore like myself

 

[JunkYardDog]

Is the driveshaft connected yet, what about the brakes? Or do you just have it bolted in place?

What about the diff will that be welded or have a locker added? Gears?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

its geared 3.55 right now and will be spooled, no brakes yet, no shocks connected, and no driveshaft. Its just bolted in place.

Nick (Junkyard Dog) started the install of his Jegs 12 point cage........Jegs instructions SUCK and the cage is a PITA to work with,

 

[JunkYardDog]

yeah im pry just gonna weld up the rear if the spool costs too much. unless i find one at the hudsonville swap meet. yeah teh jegs cage is a royal pain to put into the truck manuvering things and welding is hard with one person. but at least its gonna be safe.

 

[spdcrazy]

wow.. looks great guys.. and the outside of the cage looks good! now add some smoke stacks and hit the snow!!!! haha. (jk about the stacks...)

Anybody ever heard the saying "chomping at the bit"? To bad they didn't have a smiley for that.

its sitting in my yard with no rear axle, he now has a FW 9" and and 77 D44. He has as to go through the axles and build his front suspension. He has been house hunting and doing alot of driving looking at houses, he just doesn't have time to come out right now and get it done.
