Isn't CAD wonderful:lol:

It seems to me I am seeing more and more MID engine setups Carl. It seems to giv e a better balance. But I see more of them go over as well! Useing a dry sump oil system you have a much better chance at engine survival no matter what way you go!! Keep the damn spool gun!! You will thank us...

They are a VERY nice welder. Welds 3/16" and 1/4" single pass easily. It would be great for youre tube chassis! For all of that Carl, I'd think you a fool for not jumping on it!!! The smaller unit I was looking at, the 110v 135, was $535 (I think?) new.

Thank you for answering that question Carl! Most three phase motors can be re-wired single phase. Hopefully Al will chime in, he is much brighter at this than I! But phase inverters are getting cheap. Look at the older Bridgeports with the step pulley. same machine and build, you just have to...

Why no love for the pinion brakes Carl? I always thought they would be the shit! (I've never used the either though!) You can get a Bridgeport clone cheap enough, we have a "Birmingham" at work, it's not what I am used to, but gets the job done. Around $3500 I think? Tooling is what kills you!!

And you haven't left yet BECAUSE???????????????

In Moab, that can be a VERY BAD thing!!! Those trails are TIGHT and NARROW! With rocks on both sides.

Oversize tires yes!! But when the inside of the tire is even with the outside of the fender, not so much!

That too. I just think they look like shit. Huge fender flares that don't even cover half the tire. There is a place around here that sells themselves as Jeep builders. If you built it, then the axles are under the body, like they are supposed to be, keeping the Jeep narrow and agile. Now we...

I wont talk you out of them, I am just thinking they will be wide. Thats one of my pet peeves, Jeeps with wide axles going down the road.

Thats where the donor vehicle saves you're BUTT!!!! If you want durablity, parts availability, some what reasonable price, and TOUGH as nails, maybe some custom built Ford 9 inch axles? I know why Carl is pushing the 3/4 tonners, they are cheap and everywhere. I just think for that thing they...

or 3K I'll build you a narrowed set of Rocks Frans!!! Sorry, but no thanks!!! I hear you Carl, I am all about the 14B (You should know that:lol:) But I think it's overkill in this instance! And I personally (no proof) feel the 44 is built a bit stronger than the 10-12B.

You are out of control Carl!!! You are a sick bastid man!!! I can'tbelieve you bought the Rocks!!! I fell proud and sick all at the same time!!!! Frans, I wouldn't waste my time with the Toy axels, the stock Rovers are stronger. Carl is right, the six lug wheels just add one more lug to the...

It really is fun. You can go to mud runs and meet others that have the same affliction, and win money. Then a couple of years latter you figure out how much you have spent, and the fun seems to wear off:lol:

I wondeed how bad it was. Now I have a better understanding. With the Dana 60 and a mild 454, up to around 600hp, he would be fine. The 14 bolt wont care what you throw at it. With the Rockwells I think around 2500hp is max. This is what they use on the monster show trucks. They are NICE, and...

The alt. bracket is great in theory, but the bends are wrong as I have found at least. Don't ask me about A/C, I don't know why, but Chevy A/C bracketry ALWAYS wins against me:? It really seems easy enough, but it never works?

Yeah, but it's a niceeven tourqe band, less chance of breaking things. What accessories? Power steering should be the same, then get a one wire aftermarket alternator, done.

I like $5288, tourqe is youre freind!

There is a split on the gear ratios, but I think? it's Richmond, that has a set that will fit the smaller pumpkins. I ran 33's with 3:42's for years. As soon as I went to 35's, it was gutless!! I went with 36x9.5's and 4:10's and it was pretty happy. I cannot stress enough how much things will...

You are right Brian, but he is young. This truck has memories and means something to him, remeber that years ago?:lol: Either way, i's going to cost a fortune to build, and twelve more fortunes to keep running. Not sure how I would know anything about it:?
