Kill!
Guess I should bring this thread over, i've hassled enough other people to bring threads over and everybody can always use more filler just O.K. build threads everything else in Gen4x4 is nice stuff. i'm going to try and cut ~575 pictures down to a more manageable size, but i still ramble.
Welp, might as well post up my glacially slow and hack fab build over here. at this point, all content is good content, right?
1940 Buick 4 Door
2005 LM7
TH350
203/300 doubler. will be 32 spline in and out when i get around to it
FJ60 axles, 4.56 gear, ARB rear, Detroit front 63 or 65" front, i'll have to measure one of these days and 61" or so rear
122"ish wheelbase
37" tires, recentered 8 bolt wheels
4 link front/rear
14" radflo 2.0 remote res shocks
q-amp steering, high volume pump, hydraulic brakes, hydraulic winch, hydraulic steering
Overly Complex Hydraulic System - irate4x4
Toyota Pickup Brake Bible - 4x4 North
this is my first attempt at a custom chassis and i'm not cautious or patient, so it will hopefully be close enough to functional
bringing home the body and title
started off putting things where they go to see what it will look like
lots of measuring and lots of drawing to come up with a rough goal for the chassis
i bought the drivetrain as a package deal, turns out the "never had an issues with it" front axle had a hole. I'm going to keep my grouching about it to a minimum, but feel that the "buy used parts, check them extra or just expect them to be trash" motto always needs to be brought up. this is no particular dig at the seller.
don't run no oil, it destroys the gears
