What trail?

Nice work on the control arms. I like the way you chose to show us. Flopped on its side!! Did you notice ANY difference from the old ca's to the new units?

what would he notice? the ~35lb difference is the difference between an empty and full cooler. Or seat tubes full of ice water or whatever tickles your fancy.Originally Posted by 1ABrian
joint/bushing manners and bad geometry aside, links are kind of like axles. you aren't going to notice them on the trail unless you have a failure.

Moab Rim. The only trail Grands roll on.
Not really. They are shinny and they don't hang as low.
Or a smaller steering wheel.

Was your smaller steering wheel comment supposed to be a jab? If so good one chadford.

I drew up a chassis for the welder and had them cut at work on the Laser.

I redid the seat mounts in the Jeep.

Looks really good! That's the next thing I need to do.....BAD. Tie my seats into my cage.

boy those steel cup holders are gonna save some weight!

Why?

I'd show you the spreadsheet but that would give too much ammo.
This project ended up being a wash.

Thanks to variances in 14b housings and lack of QC, I am going to have to remove some material from the spindles to make these new brake brackets fit. They fit on the three housings I have at work.
They use late model brake calipers, backing plates and ebrake setups.

Thanks.
I have always wondered about seats and seat belts bolted to the sheetmetal. This is much sturdier.

Yeah.......luckily my belts are tied to the cage...but in a hard enough roll I worry about my seats tearing loose.
08-02-2011, 11:09 AM
Couple reasons.......first, I don't trust the bolts holding my seats into the sheet-metal floor that I've weakened by cutting up. But mostly because W.E.Rock requires it.
5.16.3: Seats must be mounted to the roll cage. Mounting to the body is not permitted

That is a cool idea Chad. The topic of having a functional park brake comes up a lot regarding the 14b swap w discs. Gonna patent?

They are not my design. They were featured in a recent Four Wheeler Magazine and are from Right Gear and Axle.

Got a surprise win on Ebay. A Lincoln X-TRACTOR 1GC fume extractor. It needs a hose and a few adapters.

The Jeep is going to go under the knife here in the next few weeks for some new cage work. I am having Andrew and his team at Letzroll Offroad cut off the rest of the sheetmetal and weld in some new tube alah Cody's old buggy.
02-20-2013, 01:59 PM
any updates? Did they start chopping yet
03-21-2013, 01:39 AM
No progress to report. I recently started a new job so I am not as able to lend a helping hand like I had planned. Andrew is trying to run his very successful race team but we will start ramping the project up in the next few weeks.
