not a piece you want to screw up !!

Hopefully it's not too bad. I did take precautions to make things line up properly in the design. Looking forward to seeing how they come off the table though.

For your sake I hope it turns out better than your paint jobs.

That's one sweet trailing arm fab work. You should mass produce and sell them. Lol...

The fab work in that whole truck is absolutely incredible. It's Lee Novikofs KOH rig, I've wheeled along side him in his Barbie Bronco with some friends of mine.

The bar across the top of it will integrate into the shock towers for strength. The mount will get boxed in.


I looked at going to a setup where both pieces were angled at 20 degrees.





Then I looked at doing a setup where I would mount the winch behind the shock cross member. I was just trying to maximize my space at this point.

Picked up the parts. I'm excited to get home and start the install. Probably going to take all night if not a couple nights.

Yup they are called Bucky Balls, no longer made.

[Harley]

A few shots during fabrication.

Capping the tower






Welding everything up.

[Harley]

Welded in place, not completely finish welded but close.

[Harley]

Everything is super tight underneath. The servo horn and panhard link are damn close at full bump.





New stance is looking good. The rear suspension is a HUGE improvement with the new shocks.

Looks great Josh. From inception to implementation. Tight quarters in the front means you're doing something right. Very nice.

[Antisimplistic]

Love how the panhard mount is incorporated. Awesome work overall. Congrats!

It's definitely been a challenge, I was glad to see that it all came together last night. It was really a battle to make it all line up correctly!

I still have some clean up to do there but I am happy so far. I need think I'm going to box in the sides of the shock towers for a little more finished look.

[isyeskeert]

Looking frickin sick! Awesome fab work!

[Harley]

Did some final bracing for the winch mount and got it primed and painted (mostly).

This winch is the coolest piece ever though! I can't get over how good it looks and is machined. I want one or two for all of my rigs!




Still waiting on some new parts to show up before this thing really looks like new! Thinking some new KMC Endurus would look good but not sure what to wrap them with.

[Tzi]

I was wondering if you were going to brace that winch mount
Looks amazing!
