Project: First Truck Ive Ever Owned (now with Kandy!)

looks friggin nice bro

Well, its been a while since i posted anything up. The girl of 3.5 years andI broke up, so I was a bit out of it for a while, but my family and some great friends helped me thru it (That, and copious amounts of alcohol... )

Anyways, a friend of ours decided to step up to 22s on his Nissan Hardbody. He and another guy handled the front setup, then after a visit to our shop, he approached us about changing the bag-on-axle setup in the back of his truck, as it wouldnt lift enough to clear the new rollers. We said sure, on the condition that I would get free riegn over suspension design, and he couldnt see it til it was done. He said OK...

New carrier bearing crossmember compared to factory:


Installed:


44" lower link bars:


Pivot setup for the Cantilever arms. I like to hide bolts as much as i can:


Setting up Cantilever arms:


Finished arms, and ground down welds:



Upper third link setup:



And the results!






We still have to get the fuel cell and battery set up, and redo the compressor mounts. Then hopefully I can get back to my Mazda!

this thing looks great bro!

It's definetly unique,so I give you bonus points for that. Keep up the kickass work man!

What's the threaded bung at the corner of the frame for?

my guess would be the airtank is built into the frame ?i seen the hardlines run into the frame ,so possibly that ?

SWEET BUILD
