Carolina Truggies: Linked YJ on ton's, 42's, etc

[CTRaceWorx]

Thanks!
Give us a call and we'll bust a set out for you.

 

[02dmax]

Whats pricing like?

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Not sure yet. Seems like it'll be around 300 give or take. We've just got another YJ here from Missouri that we're going to finalize before we release the whole thing as a kit. Itll be on 37s so we'll know from big to small how it works.

 

[02dmax]

Cool, look forward to seeing it.

Finished shots of the crossmember/skid...

About to be sitting on the coilovers, towers notched into the frame

 

[BRUISER]

where did you get towers from?

 

[CTRaceWorx]

we make them, they're for sale if your in need

$70 a pair (unwelded)

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

do you have any pics of them not installed? how tall are they?

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Bottom to bolt is 16", total height is 18" opening at the bottom is 9" wide. I don't have any pictures of them on the table.

 

[ReconH3]

Damn Alex. Nice work. Why do you have to be so far away!!!

Got some coilover mounts made for the front axle today. They should work very well for us.

Hey Alex, I sent you a PM.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

We had to build a new frame side track bar mount when the pitman arm changed. It should a roller shortly

 

[ginther]

Showoff. Looks great Alex!

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Thanks, it'll be off the lift next week.

 

[FunkSkunk]

looks good! so are you guys racing it in ECORS??

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Nah man, it's no ECORS rig, just a nice trail rig/dd.
I would really like to test the kit on a ECORS rig and really see how it does.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

The coilovers are on and it's close to full droop.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

A picture from the rear shows the frame brackets and how things mount a little better.
The front tracbar is exactly the same length and exactly parallel to the drag link meaning this will have very minimal to no bump steer what so ever.

We ran into some problems with the reservoir hoses in the front, they hit the inner fender and the inside lip of the hood. To solve this problem we called up our hydraulics guy and had him whip up some lines for us. While I was at it I figured id replace the rear ones as well so the tire doesn't tag it on full stuff. All the hoses are also the same so in the rare occurrence that something would happen it wouldn't be difficult to duplicate or make a spare, it just makes it easier too. A quick drain, tear down, swap, refill and bleed and we're back in business. The front reservoir will mount to the back tube of the coilover mount while the rear will mount to a tube that braces the shock tower recessed into the frame.

So after all the design, recutting of multiple parts to make them perfect its now sitting on its own off the lift. After some coilover settling and adjustments we'll be sitting about an inch or two lower. I'd twist it up on a lift but the front coilover hoops aren't tied into each other and a lot of the final welding isn't done. Next we'll send the steering of to Howe to have them work their magic on it which takes about a month in this case and order up some driveshafts. By the time everything gets back we'll put it back on the lift and finish up all the suspension work in full and move on to the plumbing, fuel cell, roll cage and mounting the seats along with a large handful of small things.

 

[REDLYNER]

Looks awesome! I've seen it in person a few times now and the work is amazing.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

I should probably update this thread

 

[rodcycle]

it would be nice to see some updates!

 

[biggoofy]

It's looking killer!
