[Andrew]":iuu63us7]progress is looking good rob.... any new updates.... haven't seen ya around on the site in a little while.....[/]

Thanks man, I have some to post but I'll probably just wait until the front is done. I've been developing Accounting software recently so I try not to be on the computer when I don't have to be :LOL:



Thanks man, hopefully when it warms back up I'll start working on it again but I'm so broke right now I can't afford to touch it :LOL:

Can't wait till blood drag it's in Lawrenceville this time!

ahh look who it is.

Finally getting motivated on this thing again, and starting to warm up.

Proof we do get snow in GA! It's snowed a lot this year, this pic is from when we got 5 inches last month in one of the many east coast snow storms this year.



I haven't gotten that much done. I'm getting ready to get back to work on the upper control arms the shop just really needed a good cleaning, and I added a shelf to my frame table. :lol

sweet build, it looks good
i know when i start building mine, im using these pics for a reference

Thanks Mike, glad my pics could help. If you have any questions feel free to post there are a lot of knowledgeable guys here like on MBS!

Some progress woo hoo! I'm slow at builds I should have more pictures tomorrow or Friday after I finish triangulating the lower arms. I can't seem to find pics of the jig I made to triangulate them but if I can find them I'll post that too.

I used the same bar as before to bend the 2x1/4" bar into the shape I wanted. Here you can see it started. I still need to shape the ends where it mounts to the frame and plate it. I'm going to plate just the top for now and move onto the upper arms and come back to it later to finish smoothing it out after everything on the front end has been fabricated.

now back to working on yota scene mobile

Got some more pics from doing the other side

Made template to box it in. Control arm is so rusty lol


This is the tool I made that I used to triangulate the lower arms. It is a combination of a 9/16" bolt, bushing sleeve, extra bolt from the old locator arm(not sure what it's called). I had to cut it apart and weld it back together to do the other side so that why it looks rough.


Here are the pieces I bent for the other side with my contraption. They came out good but I would love a press break.


Another view


Another view


Assembled and ready to weld on. I used bent rods to help keep everything lined up before plating.

Im planning on rounding the ends but will do that last

nice work baha! are you triangulating to the back?is there any advantage of triangulating them other than the stock ones binding on massive wheels?my truck is still stock,seems to do fine.
