Engine hoist makes cleaning up the underside a bit easier...

Tossed a FR500 on the back for fun.

I had thought about running a 5.4 DOHC out of a Navigator or even a V10-but settled on a 351w. I am not going to try to reinvent the wheel with my build. I am curious to see how the IRS works for you. Do you plan on hauling anything or pulling a trailer?

Not really, and if I need to, I'll swap to bags...

Smothered in bedliner...

Got the pass side all cleaned up and painted. Swapped in my other spindle with redrilled hubs. Tossed a 13" Cobra rotor on for fun. (I did measure up an relocation bracket for the caliper, in case I want to run monster brakes.)

Big rotor..

Driver's side still in FU mode. Bobby giving the offending bolt some love.

Finally got the spindle off the control arm, but I had to junk it to do it. Thankfully I have spares. Got the lower cleaned and painted, the replacement spindle has a new bearing and redrilled hub. Back on all fours again.

Image

Finished welding and grinding the roof seam. Blasted it and shot some primer.

Image

Had a great day to work outside. Got most of the roof DA'd, managed to overheat my compressor too..

Little fun today. With an additional 580lbs of boy and weight, figuring where it should sit once fully assembled.

Good job! And thanks for the pics. A lot if people have asked about the quadrant style mod but yours are the first pics I've seen.

Thanks Randy. I added three inches to the clutch shaft using another shaft. Then made up a spacer. Made a better arm tonight.

Image

I've bought some bearings to replace the plastic bushings, I'll take a bunch of pics of that too. If some want I could make a write up.

Thanks Pinche
