Killer 1st gen

Been a while but back at it…. Ditched the leaf spring idea in favor of some decent coilovers. Torn between links and trailing arms but I think the ground clearance is the deciding factor…
Maybe I’ll run this POS one day.

It took me a minute to realize you hadn't welded the link mounts to your truss the way they're sitting in the second pic

Nice build. I was wondering what you were using to flex it like that then I saw the Deere logo on the truck....

Sure makes life easier, fuckin sucks sometimes though.

this rig is rad. Keep it up. Looking forward to seeing video if it slaying trails

Making a bit more progress. Got some of the frame beefed up, lower links are all tacked in.
Has anyone else used those Diablo blades that go in a circular saw? Holy shit where have they been my whole life.

Nope, sure ain’t.

Back at it this evening, got the 4 link setup and couldn’t be happier.

Those 2.5s I got are bout to be having a lil peep show tucked up under that factory sheet metal

Fighting everything, everywhere for real estate. Literally 10lbs of shit…
Toying with the 3rd seat but damn that’s going to be a struggle for real.
On another note, I have made SOLID progress that last few times I’ve been after it.
Hoping to keep the momentum going.

How big of a pain in the azz was it to dovetail that front end?
