twiztedzuki · 11-19-2010, 09:48 AM

got truss for 60 built 2.5 1/4 wall tube for truss. got front in place, ordered 1.25 heims and misc. brackets from polyperformance and ruffstuff speciaties. Now starting on rear truss today hopefully

yellowjacket · 11-19-2010, 03:45 PM

lookin good. what radiator is that? ive been lookin for one with a flange to mount it with on top like that one. got a model number?

i like the front truss. is it welded to the cast center section? any special prep on that?
lookin good!

twiztedzuki · 11-19-2010, 04:14 PM

not sure on radiator, it is an Afco though. Yeah it welded to center just took torch and heated cast real good b4 i welded to it. I made truss long so it be dual purpose so my air bumps will contact it also

yellowjacket · 11-19-2010, 04:29 PM

well its lookin really good. got a budget for the build?

twiztedzuki · 11-19-2010, 04:39 PM

havent really set one but really like to be wheelin it spring/summer sumtime! I really hav most of parts already but pedals and hydro rams **** like that get adding up fast! I figuring around 25000 or so on it

cheapthrills49 · 11-19-2010, 05:50 PM

[QUOTEI made truss long so it be dual purpose so my air bumps will contact it also[/QUOTE]

so where r u gona mount ur coil overs/air shocks..............looks like u ran outa proptery on the axle tubes and the shocks would hit the frame on droop out if they were on the truss.

maybe on the lower link?

twiztedzuki · 11-19-2010, 05:57 PM

running 17"bilstein coilovers,bumps will hit top flat of truss and c/o will mount on the angled down part of truss. think pic help

yellowjacket · 11-19-2010, 06:54 PM

my truss is very simular to urs, airbumps bottoming on the top and shocks mounting almost on the knuckles. very simular.

im about at the same part of my build as you are, keep postin pics and im sure i will swipe some ideas:)

twiztedzuki · 11-19-2010, 07:02 PM

Yeah i stealing my ideas from Jimmy sense he built few! I orderd 1.25 chomoly heims that been cryo and heat treated from ruffstuff for links. good deal on them,anyone else seen there site? hav 3/8 tabs instead lite duty **** too

RuffedUpXJ · 11-21-2010, 07:21 PM
