I think that's the way I'm going to go, gunna French the front bangers into the frame to keep it low

Im starting to run out of stuff to do to it. lol

Some 37's, exo cage, and good set of seats, something with the steering, and link the back or find some different leaf springs and it will about be done. lol

Guess ill have to find something else to build.

Well here are some pics and vids from the Uwharrie ride july 4th weekend.

My first attempt at on the hard line at kodak rock didnt turn out to well. Got on top of it and it started running out of gas. Acted like it had a carb on it. lol Was only getting air to the fuel rail so I dont know what the deal was. It was fine all day the next day though.

Second attempt crawled right up it since it stayed running. lol

Wow safe to say I havent been in here to see this build thread for a long time....now time to go read through it all.

i think my favorite thing on your rig is the "Trail Rated" emblems.

 

[Foxracin]

"Mall Rated" my friend.

 

[Josh40601]

oops. I didn't know there was a such thing

 

[Foxracin]

Its just a daily driver mall crawler.

 

[Josh40601]

I see that

Just a few questions about your SAS parts. I understand you used a "thatguy"/duff track bar bracket, duff lower coil retainers, and duff coil buckets.

Did you use the 78-79 bronco radius arms PN 5351? Is your axle moved forward at all?
What coil springs are you using and how much lift did the give you?

 

[Foxracin]

Yep used the 78-79 radius arms that come with a frame mount for c channel frame. Other one come with a different frame mount that won't work with c channel frame.

Axle is pushed forward around 1.5 inches.

Used the duff 5.5 EB springs. It's probably sitting at around 7-8 inches of lift. I love the springs. Rides great on the road and still flex and work awesome off road.

It drives a lot better on the road then most think it would. I drive it like a sports car. lol

Finally got around to finishing the front bumper.

 

[--weezl--]

it's about damn time!

nah, i'm just bugging you, that bumper actually looks really good! low profile, not gaudy, and doesn't interfere with your approach angle

 

[Foxracin]

Thats everything I was going for when I built it. Guess I did a good job. lol
