With the welder out at the shop all i could do is cut things that wouldnt need tacking to further build.
finished up the rear coilover mounts - and couldnt resist throwing the coilover on there

had to work all day saturday, and sunday the weather and no welder bummed me out, so i cleaned the garage.... i could barely move
then i started cracking on the panhard bar mounts. still hard for me to wrap my head around these

and the best for last, got alittle shipment in friday. the guy told the wife that she couldnt fit them in the front door. hehehe

doublej · « **Reply #86 on:** August 03, 2009, 07:26:41 PM »

i love building cages and exos, but getting everything where it "needs" to be is a pita
either way uppers on the rear is boxed

an easy piece to place - door bars

part of it that keeps me going.....so sexy when its holding itself up.

it was a short weekend, there was some more things here and there done, but not really worth the photo,
alot of playing with scrap tubing, trying to figure out placements - its gotta be right cause im bracing my link mounts off of it.

someone else needs to start a build in here or im gonna start asking for reason yall aint at the house helping me!!!! lol

Asylum · « **Reply #87 on:** August 03, 2009, 11:11:31 PM »

Lookin good mate. I like the seat bars coming off the big hoop with the angle. You should chat with greggmo about tube seems like he may be able to beat the price your paying at the moment, worth a shot anyways.

i now work for a steel stockholder and can get hold of top spec fia approved cold drawn seamless tube for a better price than most. it is the best tube money can buy. it ant cheap but if ya gonna do it...do it right.

deff. had a decent weekend, although like most things everything took longer than i wanted
started friday night with a new todo list - working for a roller

then i started in on the new rear truss, the last one ended up not being long enough

that pretty much finished off the rear except the frame lowers, and not sure what i wanna do there yet........

so moving to the front - time for some panhard bar mounts
this is just shoved together, everything needs alittle tweeking

and after a long weekend i figured a pick me up was due.......get some tires on this thing

sitting at ride height

so i was liking that, but it wasnt enough........lets flex out the rear

thats almost 9in of up travel with like 4 more inches togo

and thats when we noticed one of the rear jack stands holding the jeep up was visibly moving every time i pumped the floor jack. lol

thats a stiff 4link.

and a closing sexy shot.......

hows the front looking? the rear looks to work, any bind in the joints?

doublej · « **Reply #91 on:** August 09, 2009, 09:16:49 PM »

no binding in the rear other than the body trying to fall off the jack stand
but although its 9ins up, really doesnt seem like that much - im betting if its going to bind itll be at the droop
but i have no idea what something binding to show up as
the front still needs alittle work
both sides of the panhard need work - lower frame mounts need the waffers added and the crossmember welded - and still fighting over the upper frame mount

greggmo · « **Reply #92 on:** August 10, 2009, 10:05:57 PM »

stick at it dood.

doublej · « **Reply #93 on:** August 11, 2009, 09:09:19 PM »

well figured the pandhard bar would be one of the easier mounts - yeah right lol
i need some feed back here - does it look like its on the right track?

from above the axle side mount

greggmo · « **Reply #94 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:33:46 PM »

cant see why that wont work as long as it is all clear on compression.

Dave69 · « **Reply #95 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:02:05 PM »

looking good but i assume still along way to go and a long list of jobs.

Will it be at cheapfest ?
