I will let you know when it's time to SSA the Mammoth. That should be worth about 3 pages.

SSA?

I know, I started this planning on havin it done almost 2 weeks ago

It's 4 pages long and all I've done was cleaned and painted the axle and collected parts

this week

SSA (Steerable Straight Axle) or 4WS or RWS

I didn't know about this either, I guess he's found the 1 drawback for wheelbase..... turning.

Guess what ya'll?

We got the IFS all torched out, the rear spring over done, exhaust cut out, x-members (in the way) cut out, and we're ready to build the x-member, order a custom draglink

and weld up the hangers

We got started around 11 this mornin and by 7 we was exhausted. I got tons of pics but I can't download them here

So as soon as I get home pics will be comin

OMG I watched the last of my IFS fall to the ground and I thought "I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY DOIN THIS!!!!!" I'm in this kinda disbelief stage

We set the rear down and leveled out the front on some jackstands, and I couldn't believe it. My Amigo is TALLER THAN ME!!!!

And it's only on 32's right now

A bit of

But so far it's all worth it. We'll see how we rig up my brakes and steering

*FFC* · « **Reply #135 on:** Feb 16, 2006, 12:39:53 AM »

Uncle, haven't rigged up the draglink yet, but I think we're gonna cut it then sleeve it until I can order a custom one from Marlin... I have to get this thing rollin.

Have left to do:
*rear shackles
*Trans x-member
*move pass side shackle mount back

*weld rear perches
*brakes

Here's what we've done already

Jeremy did the torching while I started takin the rear axle out

Way to go!!

You are making good progress.

Are you using cross over stearing? If so get rid of the torque rod bracket on the axle.

MrW, I'm goin with Marlin High Steer, and we've already torched those 2 unneeded brackets off, it was too dark after we torched em to take any more pics. I am going to take more today now that it's light out, and we got it outside
