I have the same power washer. Works pretty good.

Got all the link and shock mounts tacked in place

Dig it! Question on you rear links.

 

You did a dual triangulated right?

 

Do you have the basic specs on them length, separation etc?

 

Do the lowers attach to the cage?

 

Did you fab the brackets or get some pre fabbed?

Looking good wade. Let me know when you want to go test it out. Could always make a trip to badlands if this stay at home order ever goes away.

This is Ben from Naxja by the way.

Yup running dual triangulated. I don’t have lengths on me. Link lengths were measured with the heims in the brackets and measuring between the weld in bungs. Never did any 4 link calculator stuff either. Kinda just did what would fit. The brackets are a mix of barnes4wd and chassis unlimited stuff. I bent two tubes with 90deg bends and hung them off the lower horizontal bar on the main hoop behind the cab. Those two tubes will also get tied to the rock slider mounts, which tie to the frame currently.

Definitely. I still have a ways to go lol.

Got the majority of the cage done. Still have to “x” the lower part of the bed area and weld everything complete.

Ok gotcha. I've tried messing with the calculator and just doesn't make sense. From what I've gathered in poking around; make the links as flat and close to the same length as possible. Try for XX% (can't remember) of tire size to determine separation.  Do you by chance have any pics of the rear chopped? How'd you tie in the cage to the unibody? Sorry for the million questions just interested in seeing what all you did.

Looks legitimate. You going for that rock crawler look right?

don't worry about the questions.

Here are some pics. The main cab cage is welded to the sliders, which are tied to the unibody. I plated the back of the cab too. I still have some tie ins to do but here’s where I’m currently at.

Mall crawler!

Awesome thank you. Just what I was looking to see.

Nailed it. 

[MiNi Beast]

Curbs be rough yo! 

[89eliminator]

Playing around with some cardboard tonight. Possible bedside idea. Plenty of room for an ELIMINATOR sticker.

[MiNi Beast]

Definitely mall crawler curvature 

[89eliminator]

Got the fuel cell mounting figured out.

Nice are you just going to run the E2000 pump or ?

Yes. That’s what I’ve been running for the last 5 years or so.

[Smokeyyank]

Ok, what size tank it that 15 gal?

19 gallon

I love seeing this come together!  I can't wait to hear what you think of the dual triangulated setup once you get it rolling. :)

I’m excited too. I’ll be curious if I can tell the difference from my old upper triangulated setup.

[89eliminator]

Should work. Cycled the suspension and had no binding.
