Not Another CTOR Build

[CheapThrillB2]

Got the front clip assmebled.....

Also got the 38's on it, and relocated my rear axle and susp to gain the clearance on the cab.

A stock B2 (its a B2 Frame) has a wheelbase of 94" I have stretched the wheelbase on my frame to 114"

 

[out cast]

Sick build. gonna flatbed or leave it bare?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

some type of bed cage, need to mount the gas tank and a spare back there somewhere

 

[pickuptrucker]

just curious how come you used b2 frame for 114" wheelbase?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

because thats what i had.......The over all length of the frame is about the same as a stock b2....the only "addition" to the frame is the extra from the rear bumper sticking out. So i have 114" on a b2 frame which gives me alot better approach/departure angles.

picked up a saginaw power steering pump today....little bracket mod and it should good to go

wow a grille! I wonder how long that will last lol

 

[pickuptrucker]

i see that makes very much sense! i want to get my frame frame chopped down for departure angle.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

wow a grille! I wonder how long that will last lol

probably till i mount my winch

Heres the stock style hub i run (this hub has now been through two chrome moly's) that is still good. And below it is my Yukon Chrome Moly that i broke at rocks/valleys two weeks ago.

I purchased them from Broncograveyard early last year. Shattered the LF inner/outer last summer. Blew all the ears off the inner and the stub. The 5-760x ujoint held though. So it wasn't a ujoint failure. So i got that one warrantied. But now i broke this one. But because i got the Left side warrantied already for free, now i cannot warranty this one because its only warrantieable one time. So I'm now SOL with the stub and would have to buy a new one at full price to replace it.

I think i may send yukon an email. I think its BS that i have eaten 2 chrome moly's on a stock warn style hub and the hub has held each time.

dont buy any sub 60 shit...give me a minute i am working on some shit you may beinterested in..

 

[bobbywalter]

not like you didnt know that for the last 2 years already

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I know i need a 60....but i just got these nice 38's and 15" Beadlocks..........I could probably make a brake kit to clear 15" rims on the 60 but i'd have to sell the beadlocks and start over

I had all the intentions in getting my driveshafts made today and finishing up my drivetrain.

But spent a few hours looking into a friends jeep and a whole lot of time trying regain my workbench and what not. needless to say after many hours i got the bench clean and then some in the garage. I got all done and felt like a 400 lb man who just lost 200 lbs and got to see his dick again after 20 years :teehee:

I got Tuesday off so i plan to spend the majority of my day working. Did i mention i am planning on running this thing in 3 weeks down in Harlin :teehee:

 

[CheapThrillB2]

not all 60's are bullet proof

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I got some stuff done....went and got my shocks, installed my tcase, made my driveshafts, worked on the front susp a little. Need to figure out what i want to do with the bed cage design and mounting of the gas tank. Have a few ideas.

Need to build the front bumper, mount winch, mount shocks, waiting on my powersteering pump, mount seats and reassemble the front axle.

 

[Mechanickid]

I love this build

 

[CheapThrillB2]

drove it around the yard for a few minutes.....no shocks=real bouncy



ozziemo27 stopped by and checked it out for a minute on his way past my place

Looks good. Will your RA interfere with your tranny crossmember at full bump?

 

[compleckz]
