Redoing a so called shops work

Here is a truck that got bagged by a shop that I'm redoing. These pictures are of it before.

The lower bag mounts

Lower link tabs



After I cut the rear frame off

Notches I made

New frame

Lower link tacked in with the Catilever center pivot.

I'll have more updates here shortly

man..... awesome recovery... im sure the owner will be proud...

factory trailing arms for link bars? First time I've seen anyone do that, but I guess it'd work

Thats what he wanted. They are off a Nissan pathfinder. As long as it cycles properly. He wanted me to run them reversed so that he can keep his gas tank in the stock location.

yeah obviously theyre strong enough if theyre used in the same fashion on an OEM setup. Kind of a neat idea.

Yeah it is. Plus it saves him money not having to buy or me build the links. This is definitly a new one for me.

Doesn't look like a "shops" work, more like a hillbilly with a stick welder. How could an owner pick up their ride with a job like that? I would've knocked out some teeth and left with my money.

He trusted this guy. When he showed me the truck I was shocked that he had been driving it for a few months like that.

I got his bag mounts and upper bars tacked in place, and just one link tab on each side tacked, that way I can make the other side of the link tab fit perfectly.

Looks like you could use a sandblaster.
