Little jeep Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 That is a really cool truck. I would suggest you gusset those like mounts. With the forces they will see in a truck that tall they will probably fail. Other that that I'm digging it. Totally different from the norm. Good work! You'll probably fail
Pete M Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 That is a really cool truck. I would suggest you gusset those like mounts. With the forces they will see in a truck that tall they will probably fail. Other that that I'm digging it. Totally different from the norm. Good work! You'll probably fail well, they are kinda hanging out in the breeze. :yes: I would add a flat gusset across the pairs of tabs so they look more like this: awesome build! :thumbsup:
Pete M Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 figured as much, but being the internet and all, you might want to add in the smiles when ya do that. otherwise someone might really think you are a jerk. :thumbsup:
Little jeep Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 I already said I know I need to gusset them. And idc about the thumbnails looks fine on my phone
Little jeep Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Will no longer be posting on here. If you want to follow the build follow me on Instagram @matt611shinn
Little jeep Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Well I deleted my Instagram so I'm back. I'm in a mad dash to finish this truck with jeep invasion only 1 month away. It will be a miracle but I like a challenge
Little jeep Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Drilled into the gas tank while mounting the radiator. Easy fix would of been to patch the holes. But theres always room for improvement This keg should do the trick. And the fact that it fits perfectly next to the radiator is a sign I made the right choice Mounted the pedals today. all three had to be modified. Tight fit but I'll get used to it Transfer case is in place and coilovers should be in tomorrow
Little jeep Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Made the dash this week. I'm bidding on some gauges on eBay so hopefully i get those. Dash will be blue to match links Shocks came in. 2.5" shocks, 3" springs, 40.5" when fully extended. Assembled them and filled them with nitrogen
Little jeep Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Dash is painted and in. Front shocks are in. I'm not crazy about the height. I'm going to cut off the shock towers and shorten them up so I don't have to have the springs adjusted so low
CobraMarty Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 WOW those are some big tires and wheels, 46s. What coilover brand are those? What spring rating did you use? Price? We need to come by and check out your build. My son is in your area on a regular basis visiting friends.
Little jeep Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 WOW those are some big tires and wheels, 46s. What coilover brand are those? What spring rating did you use? Price? We need to come by and check out your build. My son is in your area on a regular basis visiting friends. They are first over all. (FOA) the front springs are 100/200. The rear are 100/150. $1625 shipped to my door. Anyone is welcome to come check it out
CobraMarty Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks, I was looking at ProFender 2.0 were like $1540 shipped with springs. I think that I will go with these FOA 2.5 for $1625 shipped. They are USA based and seem to have more offroad experience and advice.
Little jeep Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks, I was looking at ProFender 2.0 were like $1540 shipped with springs. I think that I will go with these FOA 2.5 for $1625 shipped. They are USA based and seem to have more offroad experience and advice. Yes when I talked to them they seemed very knowledgeable. I told them what I was building and that I wanted softer springs for more drop flex, and they told me what they recommended. They are based out of Las Vegas and it took about a month from when I ordered them to when I got them. The staff seemed nice and I had them throw in a couple shirts and extra stickers lol
Little jeep Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Anyone that wants to check the truck out can email me at onespeedmatt@gmail.com. Or you can see it at jeep invasion in wildwood nj on June 19. Thats the deadline I'm trying to meet for this to be running and driving. It certainly won't be done by then but it will hopefully move under it's own power
Little jeep Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Got back springs mounted today. i think this takes drop flex to a new level This is full droop This is ride height Ride height Little flex test
Little jeep Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Going to remake all the top shock mounts so that she sits right around here
