August 19, 200718 yr Author oh and I just finished putting together the front axle, full locker and nice 4 pot brakes... it should be under the wagon come the end of next weekend once I have some more time to work on it... I have wagoneer springs and the ranchos ready to go just need to fab up the mounting points, and the front brake lines are there too woot woot... I think I am going to fab up some system for the rack and pinion just so I can have the beast be mobile until I can get a yota hydro assist gear box, anyone got one ?...
August 20, 200718 yr looks very nice, good work! Just one hairbrained thought that i had and just HAD to toss it out there for someone more mechanically minded and better than fabbing than myself, but COULD a person use the existing transmission on a soob, put the rear output shaft to the transfer case and drive 2 more axles off of it, making it a 6x6? Might be a long rig doing it this way, but just wondering... If you want a 6x6 the best option might be here: http://www.maxatvs.com/index.php?submenu=Home&src=
August 21, 200718 yr If you want a 6x6 the best option might be here: http://www.maxatvs.com/index.php?submenu=Home&src= I built one of those (of course not all the bells and whistles) with a drive system out of a zero turn mower someone had rolled (several times). everything else was trashed, but the hydraulics were good. They are fun, just not fast enough for me, especially with no suspension:eek:

Wonder if it is even feasable to make a larger version? I'm guessing not:dead:
August 23, 200718 yr Author Looks good I have simular plans for my brat. yeah i would really love to do a brat someday...
August 31, 200718 yr Author well it seems like this project will come to a stand still and most likely be parted out... I have worked really hard on this but I have come to some realizations in life, as to my priorities... I know if I so desired I could continue on with this project however it would just take far more energy than I really want to despense... Frankly I am tired of being tired:confused: Hope I am not dissappointing anyone to much, other than myself since I am so close, but I promise I will be back and do another rig far better than the potential this one had... And hopefully in the meantime others will continue to push the bar higher...
August 31, 200718 yr Hope I am not dissappointing anyone to much, ... Nah Its just machinery Ive done the same thing many times , start a project and never finish, but in the process you have had experiance and learned along the way, that sometimes is more valuable then the finished product, its people that realy count anyway
September 2, 200718 yr " And hopefully in the meantime others will continue to push the bar higher..." already working on it...........
