1 week to paragon, im getting there :)

quick shots, of rear shock mounts. Looks like it will clear all around. Im doing a stagard setup to help with axle wrap, (1 forward / 1 rearward) Yes I know the lower mount pictured hangs a little low. I wanted to have optimal shock angle.

Gas tank - more progress, need to add flop tube, and cap it off...

me in my infinite sleep deprived wisdom failed to see the simplicity of simply putting the axle bracket on top in a similer angle and making the upper mount equally higher.. Thanks to my brother for pointing out the obvious and simple fix... Once again proving he got the brains while I only got good looks.

So i did that last night, no pics yet but its definitly much nicer... Other side tacked up, ill test them out this weekend when i get the tank sealed up and plumbed in...
 
that 300 with the emergency brake setup makes me drool. awesome. want to make one for me???

looking good mike, i know you are ready to get back on the trail....
 
Looks good. Where did you get the disk ebrake parts or what are they off of?
 
the disk was a D300 kit from Jess, (high angle driveline) it orinted the caliper on the right side and required alot of top room, large cable loop, or some 90* pull... I reworked the bracket to put it on top.

was a thread on the old board, let me see if I have the pics...

ok here was go, original/new i also added a return spring and a cable holder. I tought someone made one more situated like how i mod'd mine but at that point I wanted to get it done so i just fixed it..

ya im so friggen ready i cant stand it, jeep is a different story... :)

So, if you're building shock brackets, one might assume that you've finally decided where the rear shackle goes, no? :flipoff2:

Oh, and I'm gone this weekend, but if you need a hand early next week, you know where to find me.
 
ummmm not exactly :flipoff2: will do that tomarrow ...

actually yes, any night you can spare would be great. I hope im just wraping silly things up and either zip tieing or duck taping the rest together... but you never know..

thanks
 
basically i swaged the ride height with 1 2x4 block and a swag at the pinon angle and tacked it all where it sat... Im still figuring on a 1"-2" drop when the leafs settle in...

Click to expand...

I hear ya... I've gotten myself brain-tangled on incredibly easy things...

Shawn - as long as the fixed eye is bolted up, it's close enough! Those stiff-ass alcan's won't flex for a couple of years anyway, and he'll need new shocks by then :flipoff2:

edit: didn't realize the perches weren't burned in yet, either... Don't be like that explorer guy from the video! (the one who did a SAS, and drove down the road with the perches just tacked in... tacks broke under braking, you can see him lose it)
 
o_O
 
A Dana 300 with a parking brake???? What'll they think of next??
:eek:
