monstaru

use a 9/16 to drill wheels.... you use a 35/64ths to drill hubs...... and yes the bevel degree is 60 for the countersink,at least that is what i used. cheers, brian

i believe that guyver had a few set of plates previously. but do not think it would be that hard if my memory serves me.search my friends,search......cheers, brian

nice.....i could only dream of understanding the math.i'd probably just buy software actually....... i have been thinking of a "central drive unit" that i was going to call spider. my friends use to call me spider man,some still do.i am currently trying to meld my climbing abilities with a vehicle.hence building monstaru2. nice ************ mang.......cheers, brian

right on then,just saw the tag on the rear of the chassis that said "spyder"........ and by hand you mean,the hand on the hydraulic cylinder switch....:lol:kidding...kidding... i like it.i really dig the air cylinder extension idea.good lookin out.cheers, brian

link no workie..........and are there really links to maps in the second post.because i can not view them.cheers, brian

howsit PK?good to see ya;).....cheers, brian

front of frame... welp,only a couple of photos.but alot of work!am cutting gussets today and tomorrow for the upper piece just added.will weld wed. and thursday hopefully.cheers, brian

nice.....gotta love it when you score.cheers, brian

i think that is a prefabbed chassis phizzy.......would be hell to bend until you got a pattern for it.sweet though.cheers, brian

you gained 5.5 inches?or that is what you have now?lets see compressed,and extended vs. ye old stocker.......cheers, brian

any warranty?gaurantee?if not that is ridiculous.you can get them for 50 bucks out of pullandsave.and take it back within 30 days if it does not work.cheers, brian

you don't think that getting a joint with more operating angle will help? U- joints man, u- joints.i am not just cutting our existing axles up.i am making an entirely different unit. the "travel" I am talking about is mainly found in the downward direction,droop,wheel down type travel.anyways. cheers, brian

that is awesome news Mick.thanks,it will make it easier to deal with when i cross that bridge. have been working on the front of the frame.almost done with the basic layout for the front .then i can start hanging stuff.engine crossmember,suspension etc. i will post pics this weekend of progress.cheers, brian

ok,the square tube idea is out the window for me.over the past couple of weeks i have looked at different sizes of squAre tube. there is so much slop that i do not see it being beneficial at all.i also looked at square rod to go inside square tube....but i believe there would be weight restriction. i had talked about a slip yoke section to allow for travel, but there is only a couple that would fit the bill,and at most would have allowed about 4 inches of travel in the axle.which may work due to the arc that the suspension travels in on a stock vehicle.but no for a longer travel ideal. so, i came up with a mix of the two.i was at a drive shaft part ditributor yesterday,i ordered some agricultural drive shaft tube that they utilize for their PTO's and 4WD systems to allow more travel. it is traingular. i also ordered some end flanges as test pieces for the axle cupsplined sections. it appears that the splined section of some axle cups is PRESSED in,and that they are not all one piece.seems that way.i am on a mission to find somone with a huge arbor press this coming week, to see if this is an accurate observation.i looked at several cups last evening and it appears that it is not the case on all of them.but 2 out of 4 have a bevel where the splined section meets the actual cup (wherre the dust cover lives,at the mounting point)....so we will see.it would be cool if that was the case.more options that way. i will get pics as soon as the parts come in. i realize this thread was started for the fronts,but i believe i may be onto something for the rears....i will save my thoughts for the fronts until these are done , as i have some ideas about the fronts.but am unsure. cheers, brian

i have wanted one of those spotlights for years.....they work very well.cheers, brain

did you buy the sedan?lewiston-ish area?cheers, brian

check out my answer to this old thread Orion........cheers, brian http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=47288

so , the u-joints on an ea81 stock driveshaft at the tranny joint is a 1517 series u-joint.the u-joints on all of the suzuki stuff i have are 1518 series joints. the caps from the 1517 joints fit the 1518 joints.no slop .so ,i will be able to utilize this configuration. a subaru tranny yoke coupled to a suzuki t-case flange.then utilize the suzuki flanges at the t-case for front and rear drivelines,and the diff yokes at the ends.i do not have pics yet as i am not to the point of building the drivelines.ok , i lied.. more pics..... but it will work out alot easier now.no adapters or anything of that sort.cheers, brian

ok, so here is another one form the dead. a couple of posts up^by threeeyedbandit there is a statement about utilizing the cups from a subie and putting them on a suzuki cross. i will investigate this today. cheers, brian

its not a lost cause,you people kill me. you know it is not stolen.just go through the red tape and wait for the title. if everything went as planned,how the hell are you supposed to learn anything?cheers, brian

damn girlfriends.........:)cheers, brian

thats funny,i just did this and did not have to modify anything.i thought we talked about this?gees........ i just put a 4.44 ring gear on the clutch pak LSD unit and did nothing to modify.ask if you want pics.cheers, brian

air cylinders for ride height?that's ************ing sweet............still using two winches?or only one on the front.this is my eventual goal.but am stoked to hear your findings on power. would be curious as to the weight as well. cheers,i am pretty sure i hate you,no, i like you ...wait yeah, pretty sure i hate you.(no flip off emoticon) brian

ok, actually got some welding done again yesterday.i will be buying more steel monday to finish the front framehorns.then on to mounting suspension up front with a little wider stance. and then suspension design.i think i am going to use part of the struts i built.....without the strut:grin:.just as springs,but it depends on how quickly i can find some shocks.cheers, brian

BUY THE KYB"S!!!!!!!!trust us..they are a better choice for handling!cheers, brain
