Finish that thing up so you canget going on the hardbody. Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: roastbeef on July 05, 2011, 08:18:07 AM its looking awesome. did you end up making the front fenders too? i want to see more pics of the wheels and such, i have only talked to him about it and it seems like it is snowballing into an awesome rig.
i like how the upper link mount is near the lower link mount on the frame. would this cause a greater pinion rotation during suspension cycling? if we could get away with strengthening and lengthening my links without moving my cats, i would love that.

Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: theking on July 06, 2011, 02:35:44 AM yeah, those cats are right where the link mounts would go. Your pinion move down as the axle droops more because the upper link is shorter than the lowers. We need to move the cat slightly to the inside to clear a longer link.

Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: SteeevO on July 18, 2011, 12:33:14 AM I was at kennys a few days ago. the front is done just needs to do the rear. looks good but he needs to wrap this up and build a rig for himself!!
Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: theking on July 18, 2011, 10:04:56 AM I'm working on the rear now. Moved the gas tank 5" back for a 3-4" stretch. WB will be 108".
just a few things left for the front (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/kennylauter909/Rubicon%20Build/front003.jpg?t=1310519737) (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/kennylauter909/Rubicon%20Build/front004.jpg?t=1310519751) Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: BlackX on July 18, 2011, 10:58:03 AM Is this yours or are you building it for someone? It's looking good.

Did he bring you the trailer and you did work on the leaves or something? Is this setup on 35's?
Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: zachbiz on September 12, 2011, 01:09:01 PM this does look pretty awesome though. Basically acts how any custom link set up would. I hope he doesnt brag about how jeeps are awesome because they can flex a lot.
Title: Re: Jeep LJ build Post by: SteeevO on September 12, 2011, 02:34:44 PM it should have a sticker on it that says 'Built by a Nissan Guy!'
