Today:

Axle links set-up, ready for glue

Committed now, glued into place.

Upper and lower link bolt placement are near as parrallel to each other. 10 1/2" Separation, between uppers and lowers.

Done for now, bit of paint to stop the rust mite.

Centre point for links fall just pass the diff nose.

Well due to injury, Asylum was assigned "Fire Watch" He wouldnt let me gaffer tape a GrindR to his crutch

Hopefully have it under the Truck Sunday.

Thats my walking aid crutch, not crutch crutch just in case anybody questioned!

Rear Links etc, all initailly complete. Some final welding and niggles to do.

Slave Driver with a Crutch

Uppers 33" long. One end will be fixed, the other end adjustable.

Under the truck.

At ride hieght the uppers are very close to paralle. Total lift on the truck will be 5" and have spring adjusters, at present its sitting on 4" Old Springs.

See the CAT for the exhaust in the distance? Gotta route that somehow to the back or side

Prop at max, with shoxs on their limit. Not sure if i like the idea of the shoxs bottoming out? Maybe limiting straps and longer shoxs would sort a few things out?

The man with the Crutch, is happy!

Ehxhaust to do!

We've taken ages to get this far. But "Hey ho" were giving it a go....

On to the front very soon.

Off to visit, JJ and Co next weekend. Then back to it...

2 Holidays may of set ya back mate! You know? Those in that big SandBox

Opened up a box, left in the Garage by Clayt

Hopefully, should be able to lash something together for an exhaust

If anyone has ideas where to route an exhaust?

Just cut it and pont down - it's what you will do in the end the fooooooker just gets in the way.

wildwood · « **Reply #62 on:** June 14, 2010, 05:36:00 PM »

like IOM says.......
You got no tank in the way so straight back and out........
or back and out the side high up behind the rear wheel flare...........

Asylum · « **Reply #63 on:** June 15, 2010, 10:47:17 PM »

What Mark is asking is if you look at the 2 pics you can see that there is no room for a muffler after the cat and the distance between the underside of the tub and the top of the arms is minimal so somehow quickly going over the top arm to then run along the chassis is a head scratch?

We have started it up with just the cat and no back box and although it sounds nice would give you a headache with the rumblings and fums. Take into consideration my truck has no body lift also so the distance between upper arms and tub is very very minimal.

Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated!

I have seen some loop under the upper arm in pics but not sure thats a good idea?

cheers

have you considered rerouting from the manifold and taking it all outside the frame rail?

Bubba · « **Reply #65 on:** June 15, 2010, 11:29:26 PM »

OK here we have what is left of my exhaust - like you I wanted to keep the Mafia legal for road use and had the exhaust running out the rear as you would expect - after many "dings and dongs" straitening the pipe became a pain to say the least soooooo I cut the fooooooker off and this is what we have remaining.

Works for me.....

i dont know that will pass a yearly mot here on the mainland only thinkin aloud not trying to be the voice of doom

truck cab and stack is my fave idea

king cj · « **Reply #71 on:** June 16, 2010, 09:39:49 PM »

stack up the windscreen piller like a snorkel job done

side exit would work

Nexus · « **Reply #72 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:12:21 AM »

Their could be a slight risk of killing yourself with carbon monoxide poisoning if you put it on the windscreen pillar and had the window open or roof down.

Cheers

Rachel Bentley's TJ has the same system (I think she has the same long-arm kit as IOM).
Vince Bentley's XJ had major headscratching to get an exhaust to the rear with long-arm coil conversion - I believe he moved the shock mount locations to help.
