dana 60 cover with a twist

sarge · 12-21-2010, 04:09 PM

I was messing around and since all my buddies say my Jimmy looks like a spider , I figured I'd continue the theme :

1/2" ring with 1/4" truss and webbing

Coppertop · 12-21-2010, 04:36 PM

Looks good...Difinitely one of a kind.

my thoughts exactly...but does look cool!!

Ha ! , I really don't have very much time in it . One of the twins had a wrestling tourny last week end and in between his rounds I was running home and making the webbing .

What's wild is how many feet of 1/4 round stock is in that piece ...... anyone want to take a guess ????

Hope Springs Hauler · 12-22-2010, 10:55 AM

11 feet?

jwend · 12-22-2010, 12:56 PM

nope and nope !!

still no front drive shaft and 3 bent rims.

been busy with another project and possibly starting another rig ...... just thinking about it for now.

jwend · 12-22-2010, 02:27 PM

looks like about 5 and a half feet to me

94Dodge Truggy · 12-22-2010, 03:42 PM

Take a hammer and bend them back! A wobbly rim and tire are good traction aids anyhow.
