Sweet those are going to look BA

[95SAS]

yeah i cant wait. well i flexed her out a little bit today, i need to cut my stock spring hangers off beacuse my springs are hitting them, and i hate the double shackle setup im going to get rid of that ASAP. i also cut my overload down and threw in some 1'' blocks seems to work better. i should have shocks in it this weekend. also i need to add bumpstops still.

    











the red 3rd gen is mine the tan 2nd gen is mine and the 2nd gen runner is my sisters it needs a SAS bad the ball joints are making a scary noise.

[Jud]

[95SAS]

use ifs bumpstops that are used on the front lower a-arms and it wont be noisy.

X2. Mine were loud and irritating so I used IFS bump stops. Your only problem is that your frame is cut. Here is what I did:



As for the unloading going down hills I don't have that problem at all. Though I have a 4runner so there is a lot more weight in the back of mine.

Yea I already miss it. Thanks for the compliment tho!!!

[95SAS]

Thats a realy good idea with the ifs bumpstop i think i might try somthing like that.

Jud- Atleast you got a kick ass 4runner to replace it...   

[Jud]

Yea it should turn out pretty nice. I can't wait!

[95SAS]

Got bored today so i shot down to 4wheelparts and picked up some cheap es 3000's and this cool slow moving vehicle sign from a yard sale.

[95SAS]

new gears and axle seals are always fun





front shocks

[46&2]

[95SAS]

[95SAS]

[THK Matt]

spools eh?!

[95SAS]

spools eh?!

yes sir

[95SAS]

   







Well i got the spools in i need to get this out on the trail im tired of wheeling my DD  in cab cage is my next project. 

[95SAS]

well i HATED the double shackle setup, so im fixing that. im going to weld some D rings onto the back off my frame too. my shackle hangers should be here any day so ill be able to get it done. 







   

BTW i got a trailer



mabye just mabye i can get this baby out this weekend 

[95SAS]

ok guys i need your advice, the tube i have is 2x3'' tube and it slides into the frame really tight, well anyways my problem is my frame is about 1/8 inch bigger than the tube. i need to know what would be the best way to correct it so i can weld the shackle hanger onto the frame even. i drew a crappy picture of 2 things i could do to fix it what do you think would be best? opinions welcome  Thanks

1. i could grind the frame off right there so the hanger sits flush on the 2x3

2. i could get a 1/8 inch plate and weld it to the 2x3 so the hanger sits flush

[THK Matt]

second one.

[95SAS]

Ok ill get it done asap. I wish the frame was not cut but oh well i had to cut it. The frame was all smashed in the back due to the truck getting rear ended or somthing. this should work out ok i hope.

[95SAS]

well i was able to get it out today for a little "test'' run it was a blast. ran real good with no problems. 


























this guy i knows jeep, its pretty sweet!
