Looks awesome! I like the 4 banger. I wish I went lighter on my build, weight savings is more beneficial then woopow I think.

When you are ready to setup the suspension, how do you hold the frame high enough off the ground to allow you to fully cycle the suspension?

 

[Dennis]

Reworked the front crossmember. Waiting for DOM to show up, so I can link it and it will be a roller.

 

[Dennis]

Roark Fab ATLAS support ring.




Transmission crossmember.

Since this chassis has been built a fair amount of times, I can rely on pictures of previous builds to place my links and shocks to clear everything. Rear is easy, the front is a bit more difficult, with engine between upper links and shocks have to be far in enough to clear knuckles at 50* steering.

I got pretty much nothing done on this in the past week. Got the mid driveshaft shortened and made a bracket for it. That's about it.

 

[Deluxxx]

Looks good to me. When do you think itll be up and going?

I only have a few hours to put into this. I'm hoping to be done by late summer though.



Last night, I started on the steering ram mount. Bent the tube, just need to add some gussets and the plates for the ram mount.

 

[Dennis]

The steering ram is in and it clears the winch mount at full stuff as if it was designed that way.

 

[Dennis]

Kinda looks like a Jeep.

 

[Dennis]

Painted the front axle


Front lower shock mount

 

[Dennis]

Progress has been very slow. But I did get my upper links and swung the front axle into it's place. Tonight, I will get the rear links mounted and start on the seat mounts.

 

[Deluxxx]

Looking damn sweet

 

[Dennis]

Seats. Rear mounts are done, just have to figure out how to run the front support for them, as it wants to be in the same place as the Atlas shifter.
