Bajabomber87's Truggy Backhalf on Mogs

[bajabomber87]

The turd as it sits now awaiting the 3rd tranny



Then I got a couple of parts and toys in the mail over the past two weeks.

Lincoln 175HD.



12k Lb ebay winch but this is the same as the T-Maxx winches that they resticker and sell.



Full 4 link kit from Ballistic Fab. All laser cut and they are the nicest pieces Ive seen.

I got the 3.0 joints for the lowers, then the 2.63's for the uppers. I'm going to run square tube lowers and round tube uppers.



How big the 3.0's are. I was surprised lol.



F-O-A 2.5" 4" travel air bumps, great price!



Then I got a ridiculous good deal on brand new 2.5 18" travel fox air shocks. 550 for 2 and free shipping from Machine Wave. They were only used for mockup.
They are BIG.



Rim stiffeners from Copperhead Fab.



Then Im going to try out the Lube Lockers.



An aluminum 30 gallon fuel tank, Im just going to drop in the stock dodge fuel pump and make it work.



Got a new blue top optima coming and some more metal to start the backhalf.

Im using 1 3/4" hrew tubing for the back half, then connecting it by an exo cage to the rock sliders that will be made out of 2.5"x 3"x 3/16" wall rectangular tubing.

Im basing it off of Jason Payne's truggy that JR and a bunch of other people are rebuilding/finishing over on Pirate. It will be a cross between that and the rock dodge truggy that was also built on pirate.











Then how the back will connect through the exo cage to the sliders.



Damn this is some great work...hope mine looks half as good.

[bajabomber87]

Was/is BUT Im picking this up today



Then in about 2 weeks the medical company I work for is "taking care of me" and footing the bill for this



08 6.7 6 speed manual top of the line besides leather. They have been holding that truck at the dealership since May because I tell them Im coming next week to buy it lol. But they've marked it down to 43 out the door and thats before us even talking them down to under 40k.


So these allow me to put the turd into retirement for road duty, well it will still be street legal besides the gas tank but now I have time to seriously tear it down and build the backend.
