It's not too bad, I need to add some recovery but for now I have a dring mount hitch receiver.

 

Not any of the plastic? The plastic that goes around the shifter & E brake looks awesome a bizarre color.

 

Yea I left some interior plastic.

 

New bumper time!! just found my steering box bolts so I can finish bending and mount the pieces to weld

 

Looks good Ryan!

 

Thanks dude! By the way are we friends on Facebook an wats ur mame

 

Yep, Will Herndon lol

I want to do your rocker build so bad but I don't have a mig welder and my arc one will burn up the thin metal lol

 

Ok that's what I thought but wasn't sure haha. Yea u can get a little 110 flux welder at Home Depot for like 400 or maybe borrow a mig? It would probably be a pain in the *** the use the arc especially if its the ac buzz box. I wanna do that project again I just wanna save my money lol

 

Yeah we have a big nice 220 Lincoln like you do iirc and I've never welded with mig before... My buddy has one I can use at his shop and so does my grandpas friend but I'm gonna enroll in our tech schools welding class and do that and my electronic class this summer... Maybe I can come up with a few little projects there, I want to do the same steering set up you have also. I'm going to order the ruff stuff 3/4 heim kit w/o the DOM tubing and source it myself. What did you weld that together with? I want to go OTA track bar too

 

That was welded together with a tig root pass then a 7018 rod to cap and I filled the little safety plug welds I drilled with flux core. Most do it all with mig. Then I did the over the axle trac bar mount with 7018 ac rod

 

Ok yeah there is no way in hell I would be able to weld my hex inserts in the DOM with my arc welder lol thanks! That's my summer project after 4wd swap

 

Hey man awesome build! So I'm going to be making my own steering similar to yours. Did you have to relocate your tracbar to the the top of the axle? Was there clearance issues? Was that the reason to relocate it? Is it a must do or can you leave it in the stock location for now?

 

Thanks! I'm not sure if u can run a track bar in the stock location because u have to cut stuff off the axle to clear the tie rod. but I needed an adjustable and I like the idea of over the axle and this was easy to make. Although with JCRs setup you may be able to run stock/adjustable track bar in stock location..

 

Alright awesome. I will just relocate it. I like how cheap it is to build myself. Thanks for the info!

 

Don't be fooled. It's not so "cheap" in the end as u will find out Heims along with high misalignment spacers and hardware all add up. Though it will be cheaper then some kits probably. Tie rod ends are also a bit expensive But good luck and let me know if you have questions
