MAN-OH-MAN!!! That thing was already a super beast, now it'll be a super mega beast :thumbsup:

Having little to no worries about axle breakage would be sooooo nice ;)

Last couple of days work...

Have the front axle reassembled(loaned out most of it,,,,, just got all the parts back)

Rear axle is in, and almost totaly attached :-)

All 4 wheels are done, beadlocks and centers.

Got all the old leaf spring pearches and junk torched off the frame.

Took it to the carwash, and washed off the trailer too.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/scooter141/My%20BII%20Pictures/a3.jpg

Weighed her while I was out. 4900#. I figure I have about 250-400#'s of crap to add, and fuel, so it wont be too heavy. It was 4200# whth d-44/37's, so not bad......
I only had to lift it 3-1/2in from d-44/9in and 37's to the Rocks and 44's ! ! ! I thought I was going to have to lift it more than that. Kinda wish it was only 118-120 wheelbase. Oh well, too late now.:thumbsup:

[shawns 64 F100]

Nice, where do you plan on having your D shafts made? If you need a shop I would recommend Front Range Driveline. They just finished making the rear shaft for my Bronco and will begin on my Front as soon as I have the funds for that.

[bronc_17113]

he is in oklahoma

[scooter141]

I am researching square tubing driveshafts right now.... Just not sure.

[shawns 64 F100]

Crap I didnt realize you lived out in dem dere flatlands, I traveled across the southern part and remember laughing at some of the stories about how southern Ok. used to have mountains as big as the Rockies and the rain washed em away :D

[firerod63]

Looks like the end of build #1 was a "smashing" success! :D
