PROJECT: Chop Sticks truggy build

[CrawlnYota33]

Thanx for the input but I think the serpentine setup will give me a good amount of clearance.

I would shoot for a minimum of 1" clearance. I think I've got a little over that on my cab truck between the water pump and 8274 winch. I've got a 5.0 out of a 92 Mustang GT in my cab truck. It came with the serpentine belt, so I can get you some measurements if you want.

Build looks good.

measurements would be good, I got all the links mocked up and tacked in place but didnt get a chance to test flex tonight. I will get the done Wed. Heres some pics.

 

[CrawlnYota33]

Finally got the rear tested, I am very happy with it so far. There is a little bit of rear steer but its not a lot maybe 1.5in through the entire susp. cycle. Couldnt let it all the way down to the ground b/c lower links were hitting the frame gig it sitting on.

axle sure looks like a big boat anchor

Pic of how the rad. and propane tank will be mounted.

Got the front axle in place tonight, and found out I'm probly gonna have to cram 3-link in it. The fuel pump won't be the since I'm running p-pane, and may have to relocate oil filter. Might have to find another oil pan too, or do some unspeekable things to the stock one I'm really liking the way it is gonna sit, low and big tires....

 

[Tacoma747]

How you going to raise the tank clamps for the LPG tank up? Make sure you have room for em'. Guess you are not running twin tanks?

 

[CrawlnYota33]

Theres room between the tank and rad. nope, no twin tanks

 

[CrawlnYota33]

Finally made some progress!!

Rolled it outside today just for some pics. Some plans have changed, I will now be EFI, I just think is more pratical for ECORS. So the will be a 22gal fuel cell were the LP tank was. Oh and the radiator is just mounted up front so I could run the engine a little it will still be in the rear.

 

[CrawlnYota33]

one more Still have some tube work to do on the rear.

 

[CrawlnYota33]

little more work done, got the seats mounted and started some tube work on the rear also have fuel cell pretty much where its going and radiator mocked up.

 

[CrawlnYota33]

progress

Got some work done Sat. Maybe a little more tomarrow. I'm just happy my ram is mounted and turnes all the way with only very minor rubbing, (its tight) btw mounts are only mock up.Got rear disc on too.

 

[CrawlnYota33]

Figured I'd post some updates.......

Got some tires finally 39.5's....

 

[CrawlnYota33]

Changed the radiator mount not sure if it will be like this or angled as in previous pics, I would do some kind of vents in the back window to aid in airflow if it is mounted against the cab. Also might be able to fire the engin up Wed. or Sat. with all the EFI stuff on it

 

[jfields316]

selll me the seats

i think you should keep the radiator in the front..push bar

Thats what I was goin for BIG and LOW

 

[CrawlnYota33]

More work done. got exhaust done, had to exit out the fenders b/c I have absolutly no room for the exhaust to be run under the cab. But I think it looks pretty badass. Got the tires mounted on my wheels to, I will pull it outside tomarrow and get a pic.

 

[Bigben75ford]

SWEET Daniel! That thing is gonna be loud!!

 

[CrawlnYota33]

may run a supertrapp if its to loud.

 

[CrawlnYota33]

sittin on the 39.5's, I like it! finally looks like I made some progress but still have alot to do

 

[95yjjeep]

looks awesome. you might get a little too much exhaust in the face with your exhaust ports in front of the driver bay. love the rear tube work. are you going to wrap a body panels around the rear also?
