Joe's Redneck FOFF build
 

I want to prove I can build a real heavy duty FOFF for less than what most of my local crew has into any of their rigs. Including what I spend on tools, welder, grinder, metal, paint, etc.

Here's a few thousand words:

The hand bent, hand welded redneck chassis of awesomeness!
No Jigs, no template, no tape measure, just beer and a smile :)

I agree, thank you :)
I noticed a couple pictures didn't load right, I'll put them in the right order and remove the duplicate in favour of the right pic after my new laptop shows up. :) Thank you wifey :) super x-mass present that should be here early (as well as a P.S. wraith) :) (really, freaking awesome wife)

While I'm at it, the frame shown is going to be bent up, and cut off. Then I want to have triangulated lower links, with a very short upper 3rd link that will keep the axle very close to the same position while still allowing articulation. Or if this design doesn't work, I'm thinking about designing an inboard shock design for the same purpose. Minimal axle travel while allowing maximum articulation.
