Nice! I like the changes so far. "thumbsup"

Still have the skid? I'll buy it back from you if you want to part with it (as well as any of the other custom parts I made). :ror:

Thanks i hope you like it and yes i still have all the parts. The way im doing to rear setup im gonna run the lower links in the same spot using the metal brace and carrier bearing due to cutting the chassie it will add strength to it. And i will still be using the bottom skid. Sorry I was thinkin of making a new one but there isnt any reasons why becuase the one on it works perfect. Now that i think about it i have some thicker aircraft stainless that is a bit heavier then the skid you made and would help out adding wait to the bottom. :roll:

No prob, easy enough to make. I wouldn't run the stainless if it's heavier, still a few inches above the ground. Can't wait to see it finished. :ror:

Re: Power To The Portal (Makeover)

Thought i would post some progress pics even tho its not much. Just got back from vacation and i got a little work done.

Hardest part of a build to me is making the body mounts that are strong and hiddin. I used a highlift cab mount and cut it in half and use some existing holes in the tub. It will be hidden by the future tube work.

Im thinking i may need to extend the rear frame rails a bit. Maybe? Maybe not?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...3/DSCF2490.jpg

Doubt ill get this much flex once the 4-link is all bolted up

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...3/DSCF2491.jpg

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...3/DSCF2492.jpg

I plan on boxing all this in with stryne for stiffness and looks

The axial frame has the same curve and fit pretty nice. :shock:

Front body mount the extra threads help line up the upper cab mount.

More to come!!!! Let me know what you guys think "thumbsup"

Re: Power To The Portal (Makeover)

That frame to tub mod is one of the coolest ideas for these rigs and your right the line of the curve matches up really good. Keep up the good work can wait to see what you got going on next.

Thanks man "thumbsup" and its like the 500,000,000 highlux but that's why I did it becuase it is different from all the others. And the chassis went together like they where meant to be along with the body position.
