PS

Sooooooo continuing in true HIJACK fashion........got the leather buckets installed

Holy monster bolsters! You won't be falling out of them things
Nice lookin seats...out of what?

S'agood thing..........cause the doors ain't goin back on.


I gottem from Wailer a while back. came out of an '80s mustang. I doubt they were OEM though, not sure of the make.

You going to put some fancy tube doors on?

Ok well I have doing some searching for info on coil shocks and I was wondering if anyone knows what to look for and if they have seen any used ones for sale ect.

well I'm in the middle of a diff swap, so i hadda make some stuff, Colin this is what my lower coil reatiner/shock mount looks like.

.bolt on retainer, nice free rancho shock stud mounty thingy

Ted I was starting to set up the bro's truck yesterday and I was wondering how long yer lower link is? Did you have to remove the cross member that the ecable's went through?

Hey...a birdie crap on that piece on the left?

I was wunderin if'n yu were gunna pik on the shitty welding, or the roach filled piston beside.
Colin, my lowers are about 44"s, the upper comes close to hitting the crossmeneber you speak of, never has hit, but I am removing it now to make room fer a fuel tank, pto apparatus fer the winch, and the rad.
(yer gunna put another crossmember of sorts across ontop of the diff fer shock mounting points anyways right?).

cool thanks Ted I was going pull it. Yep there is two more cross members, one fer dem shocks and one fer upper link.

Thanks fer the tip rusty, (I spose thats what ya git fer lettin a fitter weld, yu know just like ya shouldnt give a welder a tape measure )
Colin, theres no need fer another crossmember fer the top link, just some frame boxing and and then weld the upper mounts to it (if you are goin the similar route with chevy leaf spring bushings?)

oh crap that's way too easy. ok back to the drawing board. I built all the little (1/2") tabs for the diff today. I got the lower frame mounts handled. Now I just need a welder that works!!!!!!

Well the tracker is in pieces up on the blocks. diffs are togather enough for mock up. i still have some problems with space, mainly for the frt upper links. i may have to loose the cat I won't be able to have the upper frame mounts adjustable for antisquat but i will make due with what I have. Waiting for the coil's to show up for Bro in laws truck, 90% of the fab work is done now. Thanks again Ted.

Finally the tj springs showed up. Game on

finally got my gears today! Took long enough! 3 weeks is too long

Well the frt end is done on the tracker took it for a drive it may need some sway bars, I had no brakes so I kept it in the yard. Ya not my best idea I have to go home tonight and mend a fence!!!

right on, ....I HAVE TO!!!! git my rear done here in the next 2 days, I have all the pieces cut they just gotta git into the spots they need to be in.
Then a brief interlude whilst I git to replacin the lovely dual mass in my powerhouse .
_(new front pieces are all cut and ready to be stitched up too,)
.
...what Colin, no pix?

Saturday i will sit down and load up some pics. finished the brake's lastnight I'm not completely happy with the line lines yet but it will work

Well I figured out how to put pic's up a few weeks ago and the puter let a piston go!!! New Dell is on the way! Can't up load pic's on shop puter. (policy) But the cracker on in most part done. I have one brake line to make and fill all fluids ect. Puter will be here in a few weeks so I will dazle all with my new knowledge on pic putting up thinggy!

lets see if this works.....old pic after the front was done
