    Fabricating extended boxed control arms

    Lol, you know what happens when you assume right? I'm learning as much as I can in my free time. There's still a couple books I want to finish before getting too serious. My build will hopefully start in a couple months when I'm not busy with work. A few things I've been thinking about: -...

    Fabricating extended boxed control arms

    Tommudd, the fact that you trial and errored your way to stuffing 40's under a van means we share a very similar mind set. There's nothing wrong with false starts and failures. Never starting something because you're not good at it, or afraid of looking dumb is a terrible reason. I enjoy the...

    Fabricating extended boxed control arms

    I'm not really sure what you're getting at, or implying. Perhaps you could be a little more direct.

    Fabricating extended boxed control arms

    I want to use the stock spindles, and OEM lower ball joint. I'll be extending stock axles. I've read a lot of success stories about it, and if they don't hold up, I'll just go with a set of custom length axles. The cost isn't too crazy. I will design and fabricate as much as I can my self. I...

    Fabricating extended boxed control arms

    I've become somewhat obsessed with doing a +6" Long travel set up. The plan is to cut notched plates on a waterjet cutter in much the same fashion Camburg does theirs. I've been working on some ideas in CAD. If I end up going through with this, I'd be happy to share the files for LCA, and Jig...

    Access to a CNC Mill. What should I make?

    I might give this a try considering I already broke my stoke one...

    Access to a CNC Mill. What should I make?

    Thank you! I tried to PM you, but I don't think it went through. Maybe my post count is too low? I know some forums do that.

    Access to a CNC Mill. What should I make?

    I'm learning CAD, and have access to a CNC mill now. I need practice, but I'm at a loss for easier projects to practice with. Also, if there's something popular, I might consider milling some extras for interested people. I'd like to start with aluminum for now. Any requests or ideas?

    Suspension for driving faster than I should?

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably just go with the econo lift. It's not like I'm jumping the thing. (not intentionally), and in a year or so after I've read a few books on suspension design, I might fab up something a little more suited to what I want out of it. I've always wanted to design...

    Suspension for driving faster than I should?

    I'm about ready to pull the trigger on an Econo Lift, bump stops, and a set of 245/75/16 Duratracs. However, I'm hoping for a bit of advice before I make the decision final. I know the liberty isn't exactly prerunner material, but it's what I have, and I love the thing as a DD. When I off...

    Best Speakers!!

    I had the same problem with the factory infinity speakers. I ordered the repair kit 02blue linked. It's a pretty easy fix. The infinity speakers are decent, and IMO worth keeping unless you plan on dropping $400+ on a whole new system.

    3.7L V6 Misfires

    Is the coolant reservoir above cylinders 4&6 like it is in the liberty? I recently had an issue with coolant leaking slowly onto the coil pack on cyl # 4 from the hose that sits right above it. It caused some intense miss fire at RPMs over 3k. Water from any other source can cause the same...
