Wow that was two tires sets ago...

*********Update!!!*******************

Popped the Deavers on. There is so much droop that the drive line rests on the crossmember...I'll have to fix that.

I'll take some more photos tomorrow when I have the X with me.

Wow, nice!

you're not likely to droop both sides at once :) , so you should be ok with the cross member. Those are nice springs , I'd like to see a better picture when you get one

Lance is building this up to be a desert runner, so he just might drop both sides at once going off rollers. Looks great, Lance.

Next up mounting and welding the front suspension, steering and gussets. I also need to install the VDO gauges, amps, and sub.

I like to get air...I think my truck was the reason Valerie married me.

Do you blame her? That truck was sick.

Sweet Lance! I like the originality of the build, most build these things for trails. Keep us posted.

[zwilke]

where did you get the front bumper at for the X.

[Lance T]

It was built by C-Fab in Peyton CO. Terrible website, the guy who was designing it died or something and paid for the domain for a while and Wayne hasn't bothered putting up a new site. http://www.c-fab.com/

The bumper isn't finished, I have a piece of 6061 that will go on as a skidplate.

My brother-in-law is from Hong Kong. He had never fired a gun. We had him shoot .22 rifle, .22 pistol, .45 handgun, .30-06, and a 12 gauge.

Sucking your thumb and shooting really improves your aim.
