Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I got some time to work on it this weekend. I got the zero rates installed, and IDK if I'm exactly am happy with it. Before I started the wheel base was 132". After it's 133.5". So it definitely moved. I just don't think it's enough in the front yet. But I only moved it 1/2". I still have the 1 1/2" hole to try. I also stripped the other hole in my diff housing on the RH leaf spring retaining plate. So I'll have to heli-coil them. I had the inserts but no tap. I didn't realize the taps for a 1/2" heli-coil was an odd size. Go figure. I got the kit today though, so I'm good there. Any how, here's some progress pics.

The bed was way too close to the cab for my taste. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_172047.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_172116.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_172040.jpg Next I removed the bed so I can start on the GN hitch, frame boxing, and fuel tank swap. (Thanks for the idea Matty) :lol: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_174943.jpg Almost had a casualty............. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_180832.jpg No bed. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_174955.jpg Tail pipe won't work when my hitch is finished. I'm planning on running straight pipe now. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...310_175020.jpg Starting on the GN hitch. I'll have a B&W inbetween the 4x4 and 2x4 cross members. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...311_121446.jpg Shoot, just this weekend and this morning, I bet I spent 10hrs working on this thing. :waah: |

Exhaust pipe or Ia metro subway!
I agree, I think the axle needs to move forward still. |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
