Some pics from today.

Looks like my Barnes order will be in tomorrow so I can fix the rear shackle geometry. It should sit about 2 inches lower in the rear once that’s done. May be able to get the new rear axle mocked up as well.

King Shocks is completely shut down for now. The build time was about 5 weeks for the shocks but who knows now.

Raceline also is a little behind drilling out my wheels. Fingers crossed I’ll have them next week so I can get the 35s on.

Happy with the result. Time to weld it up and make it permanent.

I just read this through again. You are doing a great job on it. It looks very impressive so far , and keeps getting better.

I respect any man that can put a differential on the counter top along side a toaster! Dude, your way above my league and you have my complete respect. I am excited to see where this awesome build goes. Keep on a rollin and a clattering.

Thanks!

Axles parts came today!

Check out these hubs! The right are stock Toyota hubs left is the stud-less hubs. That big spline slug replaces the locking hub that is a failure point. Keeping it simple.

Still waiting on wheels before I do the axle swap. Ups lost them. Then found them. And is now taking their sweet time to deliver them.

Here are some pictures of the roxor on YJ springs.

How much lift did you end up with? And what's the major advantage to going to Jeep leaf springs? Thanks in advance....

I think I’ve covered this in previous post but....

The biggest advantage is a long spring that is mounted under the axle for much more usable travel. Not just a lift for looks.

Pros:
-Longer front leafs make for a HUGE improvement in ride quality, absorbing the supple bumps without giving up load capacity.
-Large lift without all the disadvantages of spring over.
-updated spring bushings to eliminate the spring rub problem.
-The springs are inexpensive even for a high quality pair. (I used rubicon express springs at $75 a corner) and are available in many lift heights and load capacities.

Cons:
- Ummmm.....

Well, it looks sharp as hell. Hopefully it will meet your expectations. My only grip about our little buggies is the rough ride. Was this the kit you planned on making and selling or did you decicde against it?

 

[Max A.]

[mention]Spanky [/mention] I’ll sell it eventually. It will be more of a fabricators kit than a complete kit. I think for most doing just the front yj springs with 2.5 lift and a rear 1.5 shackle lift will be the best option for the everyday tinkerer. No welding needed and you still get the improvement of the front springs.

As seen here...

Rear axle is in. Easy job took about an hour. Just need to figure out a parking brake.
