Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Built up a big CXT a few years ago. Had this extra CXT cab sitting around the shop. Nothing to build so I figure Ill build it up.
Wraith axles, 2.2's, blah, blah, etc and etc.

Looking forward to it.

Here is the first one a built a while back. Chassis rails will be the same but different subframe setup and bed area.

Less of this and more building.

Just ate some waffles. Hope to be in roller status today.

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

I am planing on doing a F650 in similar style to your previous Cxt build. I see you mention proper link geometry in your subframes, can you provide measurements to provide these correct geometry's? Or give me a good starting point?

Loved your last Cxt, second go is always better!

Mall crawler?

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Home made or frozen?

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Man, I've been thinking about shortening that cab for a while. The one thing I need is the cab...

...and all the rest of the parts to make a complete truck out of it. Good on ya, looking forward to seeing what direction you're going with it.

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

No measurements, just things like shock placements, lower/upper link placement and triangulation, etc


We don't have a mall where I live. Could do some sweet supercenter curb flexin' though.


What do you think? See Food thread.


I shortened one in the first CXT I built. See link. This one I did a cleaner job on.

Thinking Dakar support truck look. Sitting around 16" wb right now.

Probable

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Great start.
I'm in.

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Power was out for 8 hours due to some storms. Got the shock mounts cut out and drilled before that. Should make some progress tomorrow.

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Powers out??!? Well come on now break out the hand tools, light some candles, and get workin!! :lmao:

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Need the welder and bandsaw to continue.

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

Cash or credit + Harbor Freight= cheap generator + 2 gallons of gas = artifical power.

Artifical power + energy drink and snacks= happy hobbyist.

Now get to work!!

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

I'm a little disappointed it's not done yet. ;-)

Re: Szczerba's Second CXT Build
 

That is a great example of logical math. Our power goes out about 4-5 times a year due to various types of weather. I've been saying I need a generator for years.

Back out in the shop now. I'm on it. "thumbsup"

also the build thread name is genius.
