Dunno - I think the Friar instigated it.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #109 on:** October 17, 2009, 10:23:17 PM »

where is the friar lately?

doublej · « **Reply #110 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:31:19 PM »

maybe this will shut you guys up.
rear of the frame is up

new rear crossmember is ready for welding - you can see the center section is removable

the ends will get cut flush with the frame - but this shows how little the link mount itself hangs down

front crossmember - same idea as the front

but the front doesnt hang down as much

trans mount that took way to much head banging

and looking for every ones opinion on these sliders......
the debate is between either leaving them like they are
or possibly
moving them up and/or in some

what you guys think??

Nosebolt · « **Reply #112 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:42:41 PM »

looking good, as for the sliders any further up and in and they wont be sliders anymore, they will end up as door bars, leave as is,

I think I just scheduled my wet dream for the night. Ahhhhhh too late! Sexy ass frame J! As for the sliders they look great! Let me know when I can come over so you can build mine.

king cj · « **Reply #114 on:** October 19, 2009, 09:37:05 AM »

leave sliders where they are mate, good for trees! clean work my good fellow. rear frame looks good to me, weld it up and be done

Dave69 · « **Reply #115 on:** October 20, 2009, 05:19:49 PM »

the pics look better each time, with all that steel being fabbed will your jack take the weight when it comes to dropping it actually on the wheels

isle of man · « **Reply #123 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:38:48 PM »

What is your projected weight?

The Mafia is almost three ton one of those is the axles - I bet your axles will be the same.
