Project college FUNd by cgmrdc

9 minute(s) of a 123 minute read

so now the solutions... i took and cut into the frame 2" down and half way into the top of the frame. then along to corner and just folded it in. then the ends were filled... i also gusseted the upper mount

which apparently i dont have a good picture of...


and the hole in the floor. 12 ga rolled and formed around the corner of my welding table... my buddy nick has prolly 4 hrs in em... would be nice to have the proper tools...


nick welding


so before anyone say, the lower mounts are butt ugly... why not shape em? well bc they are the same height as my skid so...



so bc the cutting brake needs separate lines i decided to run the lines down the uppers. i went through BOXES and BOXES of brake lines till i found soft lines with female ends on both ends. if anyone wants the pns let me know. they were like 12 bucks a piece but they only had two in stock... and you need 4...




need to get some clamps and actually permanently attach it but zip ties work for now...

on its own weight for the first time in 4 days







and the snowy shakedown... yes doorless



where it contacts

WOOOT!!!

so everything is finally done and shes ready to wheel next weekend.

first got the cutting brake set up and modified so that when im not wheelin it can be tucked away.
Cut the handle and made it pinned so it folds back


with the seat in and folded in "DD" position


up in "wheelin" position


then got the frame notched for the lower control arms... PITA...

parking on the snow piles... didnt get any flex shots of the susp... lame i know...

One of the best wheelin trips I've had in a long time! We wheeled Friday night from 6 to 2 and then sat from 9 till 430 Sunday morning. There's quite a few new trials that were a ton of fun. I made it up rattler, twice. Double whammy and cheap trick. The 4 link felt amazing. I hit 60 on ranch road a couple times. Cutting brake save my life a couple times too lol.

Mainly just vids from this weekend. But figured y'all don't mind.

Dickin around on the play ground

Making it up rattler, first time actually using the cutting brake... took a second to figure out what it takes to get the lsd to hook back up

And rattler at night

And the infamous double whammy, only one in our group to ever make it (only 4 of us have even attempted it)
