February 2, 200818 yr Here is my baby. Full width axles, 3 link rear end, sm465 tranny with 205 transfer case, fully boxed frame, onboard air, webber, hei, skidplates, bumpers, mastercraft seats, front axle 4" forward, rear 5" back, fenders. Everything custom fabbed, no bolt-ons. All done with acelylene, half stick (I didn't have a wirefeed yet), half wirefeed, and a grinder. Paint to come. I am waiting for leaf springs to set castor/ ride height, for shocks. Pics to follow.
February 2, 200818 yr Author That last one is my samurai. I haven't really started on it too much yet I just fabbed a really REALLY quick lift for it to clear 31's.
February 6, 200818 yr Author Notice the frame boxing weld. It goes back and forth, curvy like because I was too lazy to cut the weld groove straight before I welded.
February 6, 200818 yr Author That last one is the bottom "pivot" point of the twin stick shifter for the trans case. Any questions let me know. And by all means let me know what you think. It's a little unnerving to let your work out for the world to critisize.... All this is done by me and a friend of mine outta my Garage.
February 6, 200818 yr Author Ohhh yeah and all the steel plate you see if from an abondonded mine, as well as steel "scrap" dumpsters..... And yes I asked the owners. It's amazing the material that's in your area, if you spend the time to look for it.
February 6, 200818 yr looks nice! are you going to take the rear fenders straight back when you trim them? one day i'll lift my samurai, but for now i have my lifted soob, and a toyota truggy project ticking away at my wallet. that is definately some beef on the shock towers, tons of custom welding, looks good!
February 6, 200818 yr Author Naw, I just got full access to a cnc machine so I am going to go and cnc the stock fender shape out of 1/8" steel, and just move it back. It'll look better that way. Esp. with these short rump roast intermediate jeeps. They look goofy if you just cut them straight back.
February 6, 200818 yr sweet! wish i had full access to cnc machines and tube benders... my toy would be wicked, but i'll have to pay for the tube work to be done.
February 6, 200818 yr Author I am stoked. I have access to sheet bends, lathes, tig/mig/stick/ cnc. Hydraulic benders. Everything. I am stoked. EXO and stingers to come once she's on the road.
