Deadpilot's Conversion from 2wd to 4x4 SAS

[Deadpilot]

So here's the spacer

And here's what I got done on the tc mount. Needs some extra support and lower protection then it's good.

Today's progress... a lot got done almost to the half way point I think. I got the tc mount in place just not welded in yet and the axle in placed and links and mount measured out. Would have got more done but rain and thunderstorms don't really mix with welding lol.

So after week off cause of back injury I was able to do some light work. But it is stuff that needs to get done. I cleaned up all the brake mounts and spindle stuff and painted it all up.

Also it's kinda sneak peak of the colors on the axles.

Kool color, I think it will go well with white.

 

[Deadpilot]

Looking good!

 

[caseycamby]

Getting there!

I'm ready to see it done! I'm sure you are too haha

 

[Deadpilot]

The fact that the axle is floating like is a huge milestone for me. Tomorrow is the third link and coilover mock up

More front end work done today. Third link in place and coilover in place. Just need to finish weld it and that part in almost done.

So I got some work done today till I hit a huge road block once again. I brought the X up to approximate ride hight by using the tires and aligning the axle tube through the center and well I gain about 6" of lift
Before

Current

It still may change alittle once I have some weight on her but maybe an inch maybe two. Either way that's too much for my current spring under axle step up. So it's looking like I am going to be going to flip it and have a spring over axle setup back there.

Such as pain ass lol

But she looks good

Today's works...
The front axle is almost done

And the hydro assist and steering is going in

Its nice to have the pile of parts going away and going onto the X. I am about a week of work till she sits on her own wait. So can't wait.

Makes me happy

 

[metzican]

Sometimes I wish I went this route. Awesome job taking pictures and documenting it.

 

[Deadpilot]

I glad that I'm finally getting this. Thanks I wanted to have a good story line of pics to show the progress

More work has been done.

The trans mount is finished and painted and put back into place. Should be good won't know till I get that front drive shaft made.

Front cross member is in place and primed.

And the coilover hoops are fully welded in and primed and started painting them.

And finally the axles and links are painted and primed.

Progress looks good amigo. Can't wait to see you wheel it in 4wd for the first time.

 

[Xterrafauss]

It's so pretty .

 

[caseycamby]

Awesome! That's gonna be so hard to keep white though, it seems.

 

[Deadpilot]

So today I finally gave in and took both axles and the transfer case to get rebuilt by a shop. It will only take a week or so and cost isn't all that bad. So that speeds the time to completion. Since I can work on another part at the same

Awesome! Can't wait to see the beast in 4x4!

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

This one is getting even cooler! Could you by chance get a couple pics of where you mounted you hydro assist ram? I have the parts, just not positive how I want to tackle it. Rig is looking good!

 

[Deadpilot]

Once I get my axle back I can do that. But till then ya gotta wait lol
