Kiyul4130s rig

What is happening:


He first off has 4.10s in the axles, that is why he kept breaking outputs and whatnot.

Now his issue is having poly t-case mount bushings and stock rubber motor mounts. Old drag racers will tell you, Never do just one thing poly/solid. Reason being is all the stress will be at the more solid mount because the rubber is so soft and has so much more play it's almost like not having a mount there at all.

I was having the same problem but the opposite way. I have rockstomper poly motor mounts and stock t-case mounts. Beacuse of this all my stock motor mount welds kept cracking. I put the TG heavy duty poly t-case mount in my truck justrecently. I will know here pretty soon if that solved my problem or not.

Are you guys still putting chain on the motor mounts with the poly?

[kiyul4130]

i put chain on and ripped the chain off the frame and MM's after my second trip out. it was not because of bad welds. im gunna get some 3/16s flat bar and use that till i make some custom mounts.

"what is the vertical separation between your lowers and the upper link at the axle end?"

[NaturalDisaster]

i'm sure you have it posted on here some where but 65 pages is alot of reading. what was you height to the bottom of the frame sitting on leafs with the 42s? and did you have a marlin kit? by the way the truck look great

16" FOAs
2x4 sway-a-way air bumps

ya, bags! vertical seperation? you tell me yours?

with the tires at 25psi or so the frame was 28 3/4" the kit has been a heavily modded since i went from toy-full width.

[kiyul4130]

got some more stuff done. took me the whole day to weld the frame completely up and do the driver MM. i let the frame kinda cool in between welds. i do 2 passes at a time on the outsides of both sides and then insides and take a 10 min break in between. every now an then you could hear the frame softly creak. i just wanted it to stay straight. everything is level and square so its good. the rest of my day was that motor mount but i liked how it turned out.















upper link should clear fine. drainage spaces for water/snow/mud in the stitch welds.

[P-DiseToy24]

Blinged out motor mount right there looks tight.

someone digs the dimple dyes... 

[yota4x4sc]

looks sick dude..i like those dimples.. they look good

[Jud]

Looks good Kyle, nice to see some progress!

[kiyul4130]

ive never used dimple dyes befoer but i dont want to over use them. knowing me i probably will but will try not to. im gunna have holes in other mounts whether they are dimples or not. my truck is heavyyyyy.

[kiyul4130]

got the motor mounts totally done and the steering box mocked up and fitted.

[86bobbedtoy]

looks sweet
where did u get the d dyes?
HF has them just wondering if there anygood.
do you have to use a press?

[Bazzi]

i didnt know harbor freight had a set? these ones are high quality and were expensive. they're my friends. i use a press.

[kiyul4130]

more from tonight again.

[kiyul4130]

the diff is just under an inch away. there is clearance every where under the engine. im really happy about it. the hardest part is going to be figuring out how to do my panhard bar.

[kiyul4130]

i can get 9" easy of vertical seperation between the upper and lowers at the axle end. 10" is doable, but things start to get pretty tight.



i also need to get my box mounted up.


thats it for now.

[89sastoyo]

titties I wish I did my frame like that...

x2 my frame sucks compared to yours
Your truck reminds me of mine, except yours has a few more battle scars.

[kiyul4130]

the original frame is a piece of crap and is in the way of everything. anyone need some high steer arms for a dana 60? there WFOs and in the pictures above. i found some that would work better for my setup.

[91 ex-cab]

Mines squared from the stock motor mounts up but i'm gonna cut it out and do something similar to yours so I can get more room for my ph bar.  I think the weakest part of the stock frame was right about were you cut yours off
