The machine looks sweet Jared, can't wait to see how it welds in that inner piller pocket!

GRIMSS · 08-01-2009, 08:32 PM

Started off the day making a 40' extension cord for the new welder. And also added a little to the cart for hanging the cords.

GRIMSS · 08-01-2009, 08:36 PM

This new welder is great. Got all the rear suspension welded up.

Once again its looking great. I know how it feels to get a new welder, I bet you are all smiles every time you run a bead.

GRIMSS · 08-01-2009, 08:40 PM

Look ma, no jack stands...

She's holding her own weight now in the rear, and got to finally move it over and sweep. That's been killing me of how dirty it was under it.

It's another one of those purchases that makes me wonder why it took me so long to get.

dennis57 · 08-01-2009, 09:32 PM

72BlckButy · 08-03-2009, 09:03 PM

BTW, I love the cart...

OrrieG · 08-03-2009, 11:21 PM

O great...now we are discussing nut envy...

I noticed the same, counted 10 per wheel and figured must be creative use of glue..

GRIMSS · 08-06-2009, 09:44 PM

Waiting on some parts so pulled the rear doors out and mounted them for the show coming up in Sept.

Kim57 · 08-06-2009, 11:58 PM

I just went through this whole build.
Great fab work. It's going to look sweet when it's finished.

GRIMSS · 08-07-2009, 11:01 PM

GRIMSS · 08-09-2009, 09:19 PM

Some pics of the rear on the ground.

GRIMSS · 08-09-2009, 09:21 PM

Crazy that this is the wheel and tire combo that is tucked in there.

GRIMSS · 08-09-2009, 09:23 PM

71'tahoe · 08-09-2009, 09:43 PM

Rocker ride height should be 4-5". Shooting to have atleast 10" of travel. Will know more on the front next weekend when the new arms get here.

71'tahoe · 08-09-2009, 10:42 PM

Cool. Thats where i was hoping my rockers are going to be at ride hieght. I want it to lay out but want decent clearance while driving. What A-arms are you getting? is that a scotts IFS?

Yes it is a scotts ifs. I'm getting a longer set from them to get more travel.

72BlckButy · 08-10-2009, 07:43 AM

Man Jared, that thing looks amazing. I can't believe how much of that tire/rim is tucked!
