So i brought it down home from the shop unfinished.. some squabbles and whatnot happend so here she sits.. i decided to not link the front and slam some leafs back in so i can wheel it this winter.. all i have left to do is steering/ put a link back in and some other little odds and ends to get it ready. i want to rotate my engine and tcase to put a divorced np205 behind my yota case but i dunno yet my front driveshaft needs to get longer and my rear one needs to get shorter( pos 2piece shaft). so yeah onto the pics !

i'll have some flex pics when i get it down off the trailer..

Exactly what is going on in this picture??? Some new style of half-a$$ lincoln locker?

IronClad · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 10:52:26 PM »

its called a "fozzy Locker" basicly you just weld one or 2 teeth so it will let the spider gears move some.. i broke it after about 3 months of hard wheelin. i stuck a govlock out of a 10bolt rear in the front end now im hoping to have much better results.. if not.. im out nothing

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 10:56:21 PM »

Yeah I figured that was the theory...bad theory, should just weld it tight, better for the traction, and hell, logically it would be better on the street too. That FOZZY thing is just a bad idea all around. Luck with the gov-loc!

IronClad · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 10:58:35 PM »

my rear is fully welded and any type of locker doesnt matter in the front.. locking hubs.. duhhhh

Please elaborate, I must have missed this discussion previously...

IronClad · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:13:23 PM »

he never made sense nor answered my question aswell

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:16:59 PM »

I am confused by his smilie...is he saying that he has a welded front and no trouble turning? I would like to hear more, I know my welded rear hurts my turning radius, any trail issues with that?

IronClad · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:18:51 PM »

never had any problems really.. even in the snow i was able to jump out of the ruts when i wanted to. my tires never pushed or anything aswell.

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:23:45 PM »

This stock toy pump and IFS box? Any issues with the frame at the box mount?

IronClad · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:30:47 PM »

nope.. 1/2" plate with sleaves through the frame . i have 0 movement just like its suposed to

i know 1/2" is way overkill but my box is mounted so far forward that i built a custom sleave that is threaded and welded to the plate.. and that sleave is inside that little oval opening in the very front crossmemer ( theres usually a body mount there.. but not no more) oh and stock box and pump

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:52:36 PM »

I did a long brace w/ 1/4 inch...1/2 seemed a bit much.

IronClad · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 12:00:54 AM »

yeah but your box isnt as far forward as mine

hope you braced those ford shock mounts.. they suck to rip off ... i had to do alot of frame repair because mine ripped off.

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 01:55:20 AM »

Yup, I melded the original 85 mounts to the back of the ford mounts to create a big gusset in the back.

IronClad · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 21, 2005, 02:48:03 PM »

ok got a few new pics.. i picked up a pair of 38" tsls from mike ladd at bent and twisted. and im pickin up a pair of 38" baja claws to run on the back for this years snow season.. also.. manditory cherry picker flex pics the truck really looks good with them tsls.. rather than my old MT/Rs

IronClad · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 21, 2005, 02:50:34 PM »

couple more...

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 22, 2005, 05:18:15 AM »

I don't know man...that super booty fab rear cage from roll bars is str8 pimp. I love it! Just too bad it is kinda thin walled.

IronClad · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 22, 2005, 12:24:54 PM »

its all .120 wall so its just as strong as anything smaller that is somewhat thicker. i trust it.. ive seen some that have been in rollovers. like a buddy of mine hit a rock ledge at about 10 mph diagnoly which flipped him hard and fast enough that he went all the way over and hit drivers side first and it barely dented the tube and it saved his ass ( was able to lean back in the cab since the rear portion didnt fail because of the rollbar)
