Dirteatr717 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 looks good, may your axle shafts not snap and your unit bearings not explode :rotf:
MiNi Beast Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Run it. ran the $#!& out of my 30 with 37" mtrs. Just have to be a conscience wheeler and I think you'll be alright. And if you broke 3 shafts with a welded diff backing out the driveway then you sir cannot drive. You make any hard turns welded in 4wd you are going to bind. I run welded front and rear and stay reasonable and ran 40s and not many issues on a 44 stockshaft and joints. .never any shafts broken from backing out my driveway even in 4wd. 50 pt turn but no broken shafts

I learned from that. wouldn't even put an auto-locker in one. steer axles need selectable lockers, plain and simple, when/if you can afford it. Will his d30 last? yup. I've seen Wade wheel. he knows how to pick a line. is something going to break if only on simple principle of the matter? eventually.
neohic Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 You take your sliders off? Time for something more substantial?
89eliminator Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 You take your sliders off? Time for something more substantial? yup. I'm in process of making them now
neohic Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Neat. Looking back at the pictures, it looks like you're cutting the rockers out too, yes?

For now welded is all I have and will run it till I'm completely pissed at it. Lol And yeah Wade is a line picker alright. Not sure how he does it and keeps big red so pretty. :D
89eliminator Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 got the jeep finally ready for NAXJA Winterfest that is this coming weekend. bent up some 1-1/4" DOM for a tube fender type look. i will eventually fill the gap between the tube and fender with some sheetmetal but just ran out of time. i also cut out the rockers and welded in 2"x6"x3/16" tube. i wrapped it around the front fender instead of welding it to it.
Dirteatr717 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 sliders look good as do the tube fenders :thumbsup: ! Ive had something like that in mind when I get to my cage
neohic Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Needs a silver stripe between the new black belt line and the red.
89eliminator Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Needs a silver stripe between the new black belt line and the red. i think that looks like total crap............ :D
neohic Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 haha. you know I'm joking. It's cool... we don't have the same shade of red anyhow. Still, it's close enough to where I can imagine what my truck would look like come the day it might grow up a little more. A few more dents than mine though. :D Truck looks good, Wade!
ComancheKid45 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Always liked this truck, great wheelin shots as well Keep it up! :thumbsup:
MiNi Beast Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Looks good man. Now what about lateral support on the fender tubes? I think lateral be the term to use? Also tell me a little about the price and comfort of the uhaul tow rig setup?
89eliminator Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 gonna be filling the gap between the tube and fender with sheetmetal eventually. they do flex right now. price for the uhaul setup was cheap since he has the hook up.
zackcj7 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 So you guys rented U-Haul trucks and trailers to tow your rigs? How did that work out?
89eliminator Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 only my buddy did. he said it worked great. he got everything cheap though. he said it towed well and they slept in the box with space heaters to keep warm.
