So proof you can enjoy an ice cold beverage and still lay some nice beads


without the beverage it still lookes good!


still moving forward I feel like my progress is a slow crawl but its still forward.

Finally got some more work done, was hoping for more but with these sweet link mounts from Ballistic fab. i had to adjust my truss.






Dont mind the welds, they might not be pretty but there solid, I can lay a good bead but since all my cuts are mostly done with a plasma cutter i dont get as tight of a fit as i'd like.

Updates updates updates

Finished boating out the rockers,

Started closing the fenders in, have a few decisions to make on how id like to finish them i guess i'll have to toy around with some paper stencils and see what looks/works best.

Requesting Help!!!
I've been all over the internet and before I start welding crap onto the frame i figured I'd hit up my 4x4 lifelines. Anyone, information and pictures the more the better would be great!
I'm getting ready to mount the rear axle and i'm looking for advice, experience and opinions.

Not quite sure what you are asking help on? Mounting? What springs? Who's kit to use?

More or less mounting I've got my 4links ready to set up but mounting anything I need to taking in consideration before getting to carried away im using 2x2" square tubing with 1/4" wall. For my links with 2.63" johnny joints im looking at driveability not a DD but to work our around town to fight the wheeling fever off every once in awhile. The links are cut into a generic 5'3" long im assuming upper links a bit shorter but I am trying to get the most out of the suspension which is FOA 18" 2.5" coilovers. Im looking at tilting the rear axle a bit to relieve stress off the pionion angle and ......im just looking for anyone that's done this or has a working knowledge of this type suspension.

You need to set up goemetry with a 4 link calculator, there are a bunch out there. On my three link I set it up based on the COG being at the top bell housing bolt and it seems to be right on.

That is, if I understand your question correctly.

That helps the calculator was starting to give me some headaches but that clears it up a bit now I need to get to meassureing.

BTW, the boated rockers look good.

Thanks they were a learning experience for me.
But i over came with 4lb. engineering hammer and a grinder. I was considering of smoothing up the welds but i figured the bedliner I am going to use on the lower half of the truck will cover up my welding over achievments.
I just need to get the drive train hump cut out so i can start shuving the f250 engine and drive train into this heartless raider. Anyone one want to valunteer some muscle brains and help getting the 460 into place i'll be more then happy to buy the beer, soda and pizza. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
