Not Another CTOR Build

What is the length of tube on the arms? I plan to extend mine in the same fashion, still hunting for decent priced DOM. I think where my frame mounts need to be, I'll have a ~40-42" tube.

from the flange of the "c" to the weld in Bung is 47"s

Good deal. That gives me an idea of how long mine will be. I plan to buy 4' per side

Got the radius arms on, mounts made, trac bar mount made, coil buckets attached.

Now i can start assembling the truck so it actually looks like a truck again.

wow just started reading through this thread, awsome build! i cant wait till its back together

Got the front clip assmebled.....

Also got the 38's on it, and relocated my rear axle and susp to gain the clearance on the cab.

A stock B2 (its a B2 Frame) has a wheelbase of 94" I have stretched the wheelbase on my frame to 114"

Sick build. gonna flatbed or leave it bare?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

some type of bed cage, need to mount the gas tank and a spare back there somewhere

 

[pickuptrucker]

just curious how come you used b2 frame for 114" wheelbase?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

because thats what i had.......The over all length of the frame is about the same as a stock b2....the only "addition" to the frame is the extra from the rear bumper sticking out. So i have 114" on a b2 frame which gives me alot better approach/departure angles.

[pickuptrucker]

i see that makes very much sense! i want to get my frame frame chopped down for departure angle.

Heres the stock style hub i run (this hub has now been through two chrome moly's) that is still good. And below it is my Yukon Chrome Moly that i broke at rocks/valleys two weeks ago.

I purchased them from Broncograveyard early last year. Shattered the LF inner/outer last summer. Blew all the ears off the inner and the stub. The 5-760x ujoint held though. So it wasn't a ujoint failure. So i got that one warrantied. But now i broke this one. But because i got the Left side warrantied already for free, now i cannot warranty this one because its only warrantieable one time. So I'm now SOL with the stub and would have to buy a new one at full price to replace it.

I think i may send yukon an email. I think its BS that i have eaten 2 chrome moly's on a stock warn style hub and the hub has held each time.
