Custom Explorer Chassis Build

Deffinately comming along nicely

looking good brian

Thanks guys!

rendering looks good.   sick work on the frame. keep posting those pics.

OK so I spent a ton of time today working on the frame. The rear rails are built and tacked in place now.

 

  

OK I have an update from today. All of the main frame rails are tacked together now and everything is squared up and set. I had to narrow the Heidts IRS crossmember due to the fact they had allready sent me the smallest one they make. The next step will be building a rear crossmember that goes in front of the 3rd member as well as making some brackets to connect the upper pinion adjustment crossmember to the frame rails.

 

  

very nice work how much did that heidts irs setup cost?

Honestly Im not 100% sure it was just shipped to me. Thanks for the comments.

I finally uploaded some new pics today. The pinion crossmember is in place, I capped off the inside of the back of the frame and welded it up for the rear frame rail air tank. I also have most of the rear frame rails all welded up.

 

 

What size tube are you using? Looks like you need to turn the heat down a bit if you are blowing through it. (bottom joint in first pic) I probably would have gone with a thicker tube if you are making it the air tank.
