In the picture the drivers side can flex down two more inches and the passenger side can go up four more inchs. I just want to pet myself.

I just heard you are getting some serious axles. The peer pressure is killing me.

Ruggedjeep · « **Reply #69 on:** Mar 05, 2009, 08:07:15 PM »

Here is some tech for you.

I used some balled up aluminum to see how much room I had between the engine crossmember and the hood when closed. You place the aluminum foil on top of where you might have contact. When you close the hood the aluminum gets smashed down. When you pop the hood open you are able to see exactly how much gap there is. Mine was fine so I welded up up.

nice! i like the tin foil idea. engine bay tubing looks good. i am going to do that to mine as soon as i get taller shock towers.

TacoRunner · « **Reply #77 on:** Mar 27, 2009, 09:51:39 PM »

If this thing isn't ready by April 23rd 09' then I'm driving over to your house to kick you butt.

4XFlyin · « **Reply #78 on:** Mar 28, 2009, 08:26:05 AM »

Have not done too much lately. I did pick up some solid end caps from Ballistic to weld on to the ends of my front bumper. Good price on their stuff.

This picture reminds my wife of my big fat rock

Not much this weekend. Plated the front upper bracket for the lower links. Also painted the links

4XFlyin · « **Reply #84 on:** Apr 19, 2009, 02:45:28 PM »

Painted the front links and front axle. I was going to clear coat the front links, but just went for flat black. Much easier to touch up.

TacoRunner · « **Reply #85 on:** Apr 19, 2009, 04:53:17 PM »

But will you be at the Hammers this comming weekend?

pumkin toy · « **Reply #86 on:** Apr 19, 2009, 05:13:10 PM »

The old motor mount brackets were cracked so I made up some new ones to hold the 4.3 Vortec. The Downey adapter brackets I had for the last 6 years where kind of cheesy anyway.

I like your mounts, and downey's brackets are way cheesy. I still have mine in there.......
Thought about doing the bushing thing but I'm liking yours alot.
