Locktup's 4th Rebuild

[locktup]

It's under the knife again  . To start with I pulled the old axle out. I going to keep it in the trailer for a backup. I'm building a new axle housing that will get new Longs, gear, locker and full hydro. The truck will sit on new 17" wheels and 39" BFG Sticky Crawlers. New paint and a few other things. I have to rebuild the rear links so the bigger tire don't rub. Lots of work to do before the Hammers. I have Casey105 helping out and I'm sure Snohman will pop in  .
As it sits in the picture it has a frame hight of 28". I'm shooting for less.

I went to over to Adam Ant Creation  http://www.aa-fab.com/  to pick up a few things. Very nice shop. He cuts all his own tabs and brackets in house  . This will save me a bunch of time.

You know these stupid things are a never ending project.

Next year I may pull everything off and sell the body/interior/frame/exo and put all the other junk on a tube chassis Ive designed.

Thanks
