my full width axle build 5/23/07->10/28/07
You can do it chuck, at least your not having drop a motor in. Whats the problem with MM not hooking you up with a new cable?

MM decided not to honor the 36 winches Drew set up for on the mass buy when I got mine. Chuzie being the nice guy that he is...went above and beyond and replaced my 5/16thx100' with 3/8x90'...much stronger(thanks Chuzie!!) He also installed my new LED rock lights yesterday!

I over built my front drive shaft that I killed at Harlan, its now a 2"ODx.250"wall thickness!! it aint twisting now!

now I need to replace the serp belt and I should be good for URE.

Lets see a night shot of those LED rock lights. Are they that much different?

decided to remove the windshield, that took some serious doing. the PO fully welded the hidge to the body and the WS frame!!!! now I will be able to unbolt the WS and remove it for hardcore places to wheel without damage. Chuzie and I got the dash removed also...but the Mojave heater will not fit!!! so, i will be heaterless for a while.



went out there today to remove the rear seat and mount my tool box back in it and found one of the 2 brackets for the traction bar had ripped away from the axle. wasnt very happy when i found that, so i stripped it all down and clean it up and tried it again! hope i got better weld there this time. hope it holds up til i get more stuff for a 4 link.

depending on what year yours is, the ws frame comes welded to the tub from the factory. only the earlier years had bolts. i have no idea why they changed that. what do you have in mind for the 4 link?

true the WS hinge was either spot welded or screwed in...but this guy,laid a bead of weld along every edge of that hinge...plus it had spot welds.

not sure for the 4 link,i'll probably go with RuffStuff or Ballistic's universal kit

PO's works on the ws frame sounds awesome.. Bet you put some time into that. I've got about 8-10 ft of 2" .250 wall DOM. Paid $10 a foot for it though... Can measure it if you want me to bring it down. No biggie either way. Ruffstuff had a 20% off year end sale. Ordered a bunch of stuff for the race rig. Still don't have it yet....
