bratman18 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 its not designed to turn.its for straight lines only...... :lol:Awesome. I'm guessing that things are quite done in that area, and that the frame rails will be modified a bit. Looks great!! You are doin very good work, great welds etc. Keep it up, and I can't wait to see the final product!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 picked up a toy front axle for it.have been gathering small parts here and there as well........now i just need somewhere to work on it.:lol:i am to the point that i have to have room to build with the axles up so.........which is how i should have started.but did not have the room then either.....and wanted to get going. i have been in school for a couple of quarters now,and will not have much time to work on it next quarter either.but, i AM making progress here and there. i can get rid of all of my zuki stuff(two complete sets of axles, one disassembled, front 5.13 third from tracker , rear to match that.some spacers, etc...)now.so i will be able to get this going. i have no need for upgraded parts for the axles right now because i will be running small 33" tires:lol:.then when i get up the road a bit, i can upgrade axle internals and rocket up in tire size. the zuki axles had upgrades but the max was 35"tire i think.....if i remember right, anyways......that was with full on chromo axles. i was either looking for a full size set of axles.....or some toy axles, and i have the rear axle in my sites from one of my brothers old rigs., as well as a couple other things.SO, that is about an update.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
