Carolina Truggies JK Build

[J.C.]

Should make for a nice approach angle!

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Yeah it should esp when we cut that front section of the frame off. The front axle might get pushed back about 2 inches, wheelbase is a little too long for my liking right now.

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

what is the target wheelbase

 

[CTRaceWorx]

110-112

I really like the build man. Some insane fab work put together. When I come home from school, I am gonna stop by and see it again.

we need updates on this thing

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Well after 2 weeks of waiting I finally have the lower control arms for the front. The atlas is installed and the cables run. Tubes for the seats have been installed and tacked in. Lots of little things have been done but I didn't think they were worthy of posting. Now that I have some fronts we should be able to make some serious progress.

it looks even better in person. Props for some great fab work and crazy amounts of attention to detail.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

This is about the halfway mark of getting the front axle setup. A lot more has been done since this but these are all the updates pics I have for now.

Great Weld Job and This Rig looks GREAT

 

[MarsFab]

Looks awesome man. What's the unsprung weight in the front of that thing.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Not too sure, Ill have to go next door and get the scales.

Tube fenders for sure. We may have to remove the entire front half of the fender so it will get interesting soon.

needs some...

All this thing needs is to get outta the shop and onto the trail! I've seen some JK builds but this is my fav.

Just thought I'd tell ya'lls that the work done here looks great and keep it up! To the vehicle owner: I hope you end up driving this thing around, muttering, "Super sweet you guys...super sweet"

Here are some more pictures. These are the UCA mounts welded to the axle.

The turn signal is going to have to be cut out of the grill and it trimmed a lot. When pushing that axle that far its kinda hard to tell exactly whats going to go wrong until it happens. The front suspension has zero steer when at full flex, we'll be working on having it stand on its own by the weekend.
