new project 87lux dumpdAUS

theres a cou ple of options to eleminate the proportion valve... i dont want to steer you in the wrong direction so do a search and there is plenty of info on the site to get you started...

I guess im going to tee that brake thing...I started work on it tonight...just set it up on the stands and cut the middle cross member out and cut shock mounts off etc..I am going to tackle the notch tomorrow please feel free to let me know if you think im heading in the right direction....quick question I used this math to work out the height of my notch Half ground to bottom of frame height and half overall wheel diameter(17s 45mm tire) plus 1\2 " clearence plus material thikness for bottom of notch plus half of axel diameter....The height for my notch I came up with told me the bottom of the notch wouldnt even be above the top of the chasy...which seemed odd to me because pics of notches I have seen being built the bottom of the notch is higher then top of the frame....is the math I have done wrong?...any help would be awsome thanks.

another long night in the shed this is where I got to nearly finished the notch...I know its not the gratest by any stretch of the imagination but I didnt expect it to be since its my first one...anyway pics


what do i have to do to this cross member??

how much do you think those corners would set me back to have shipped to the US? Those things are killer. What do they function as? parks and turns?

also, ive been told these dont need a huge notch. so i wouldnt be suprised if you didnt need much of one.

yeah they are indicatorts and parking lights. really have no idea how much it would cost to get them too you I can find out for ya!....yeah I think so because I did those measuerments over and over and it was still the same...Just made it bigger anyhow I like the look of the big notch

heres some pics of 4 link if you can see anything i might of done wrong please let me know...the brackets on top of the diff arent on properly in these pics either...also a question when i mount my bag brackets should I mount them paralel to the lower link arms when layed out....im just thinking that when it airs up the bag will twist over a bit is this ok?

I would brace that cross member that you mounted your upper bars on. other than that it looks good

yes, you want them to be parallel to the link bar when compressed, as well as the front bags on the lower control arms, when you get to that. it doesn't hurt the bag to "bend" slightly when lifted. also, since you haven't done the front yet, you might want to level the frame out front to back before you mount the bags. like putting the rear on jack stands, level with the front, and jack the rear end up until the bottom of your tires are even with the bottom of the frame, so that you don't have any extra slack in the bags when you get the front layed out. looks good so far.

ok cheers for the help tht cross member has braces just havent put them in yet
