So here are some pics of the crossmember, its straight piped right now until thursday when the new 2" exhaust system goes on. Rear D-line will be done this week sometime i hope. Here are a few pics of the Bada$$ crossmember.

Nice X-member...

Hey did you ever cut and turn your front axle or did your dual cases give you a good enough driveshaft angle?

rednk1980 · « **Reply #396 on:** Jul 17, 2007, 10:16:10 PM »

The duals gave me a good pinion angle, i think there is only 8 inches difference between the front and rear d-shafts.

Shamb · « **Reply #397 on:** Jul 17, 2007, 10:28:13 PM »

i'd add a little more beef to that x-member. Ask Minisimp about that one

rednk1980 · « **Reply #398 on:** Jul 18, 2007, 12:28:15 AM »

I thought minisimp just got the center section and made the rest of it, i looked it over pretty good it's going to take some serious torque among bashing in order to get that to break, but i don't know i've never ran it before.

Let me know when you get back and we'll do some wheelin for sure. $Beer Chug\'n$

Ramrod · « **Reply #405 on:** Jul 18, 2007, 09:50:40 PM »

your good to go with that crossmember but make sure you keep all those bolts tight. Once one gets loose it doesnt take long for carnage all around.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #406 on:** Jul 19, 2007, 01:30:01 AM »

ya i figured so i put some red locktite on all the bolts but im going to re-tourqe them along with everything else before every run. $Beer Chug\'n$

Ramrod · « **Reply #407 on:** Jul 19, 2007, 06:56:36 AM »

i'd just take a look under there every once in a while.

Mine broke due to forward/backward movement. Possibly due to broken motor mounts. Keep an eye on those. I'm replacing mine with solid mounts from LCE.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #409 on:** Jul 19, 2007, 08:34:59 AM »

ill have to look into those

rednk1980 · « **Reply #410 on:** Jul 20, 2007, 02:57:44 PM »

Had the exhaust done yesterday, the rear d-line is the same length as a stock short bed truck so i stole my buddies so i could drive it down to the muffler shop. Ill post some pics up tonight of it. It looks BA. I had them tuck i up high enough so when i do decide to actually to the flatbelly i won't have to move the exhaust. Everything is above the frame.

Props go out to the guys at Muffle Bandit Inc. You all do great work! $Beer Chug\'n$

rednk1980 · « **Reply #411 on:** Jul 27, 2007, 02:21:39 AM »

Wermz84 · « **Reply #412 on:** Aug 14, 2007, 08:10:26 AM »

Well??

rednk1980 · « **Reply #413 on:** Aug 14, 2007, 08:05:06 PM »

I took some pretty badass pics last thursday night. not to many of my truck but it works flawlessly so far. I just need a few more items and it will be done for now ie: twin stick, drive flanges, E-Locker Front, Bobby Longs 30 splines with the hub gears. But i've got to start saving money for school so its gonna be that way it is for a while until i have some extra money saved up.

For those of you who don't know thats Mt. Ranier in the background.

Wermz84 · « **Reply #414 on:** Aug 14, 2007, 08:33:46 PM »

That was fast.

Glat to hear the truck is working out.

Great pics by the way.

baconator · « **Reply #415 on:** Aug 15, 2007, 01:29:59 AM »
