no weight in the back yet.

[Geno]

Damn, that thing is a beast.  What do you have left till it is ready for the trails?

[Ramrod]

that a kid, and even a sneak peak of rudys beast in the backround

[Shamb]

Damn, that thing is a beast.  What do you have left till it is ready for the trails?

Install fuel cell, run the lines to the fuel cell.
Make and install F/R drivelines
Install lockers and gears F/R
Get the adapters to hook the brakelines
Hydro steering is going to start next week so that should be done here in a few.
Install 35 spline stub shafts w/ warn hubs

I think thats about it... then just little cosmetics like wire wheeling the axles and painting them. As soon as we get it back home it'll be going in for paint.

Its pretty hot out, was 108 yesterday... doesn't matter though. I will do everything in my power to get this on the trail before MCR5. I've already requested the time off and signed all the registration.


Btw it blows my mind how stable this truck is!  We lifted a tire off the ground about one ft. and 2 guys shaking the truck couldn't get it to tip.
Its got around 5ft before it will lift a tire.

[Wermz84]

[Shamb]

cross bracing the cage, awaiting the steering.

Going to do some clean up work tomorrow... probably paint the axles.. ect..

went to Fresno, stopped by MC.. snapped a few pic's and chatted with Marlin a bit 

Rudy's the proud owner of Dual Ultimate cases for his R-series tranny.

[Shamb]

crossbraced the front, added some gussets to the shock towers and started my front driveline. PArts are on order for the hydro... not much else for now!

I'm still pushing for MCR5!

[KWP]

Kick ass build man I wish mine was that far along

[Shamb]

For all of you who can't read the fine print.

IF you'd like a cage similar to mine call up my buddy!  He hooks it up w/ great prices and awesome fab work.

Ask for Curt at Rock and Roll offroad in Yuba City California (530) 673-5525  (I think thats the number)  if for some reason it doesn't work just PM me and i'll hook you up with all the info you need!

Kick ass build man  I wish mine was that far along

Dude whats the hold up?? I love the way you chopped your Runner, that things gonna be bad ass! You making it to MCR5?

[Hyena]

damn, that looks bad ass shayne.  i can't wait to see it wheel, probably outwheel me and Pat 

[KYOTA]

Um ya,,, HELLO!!!    man I totally missed this thread, awesome cant wait to hook up withcya and check it out this year. What size rear lowers are you running? look a tad small but may just be because the 14 and 40's dwarf them  . got any pic of that cage I can look at?

[Shamb]

yea I only ran a 1.5" tubing. Half inch thick... we'll see how it works.. a bit small but if it break's I'll just go bigger!

[KYOTA]

.50" should be ok but if you spend a lot of time parking your rig on them I dunno. Maybe sleeve them with 2"x.25" if you see any problems. Looks good tho

[Shamb]

Here's a pic of the crossbrace in the front that was added.


Oh yea.. those bags on my hood are the fittings, ram and pump for my hydro!
