I'll be ready to learn some stuff whenever you can make the trip!! |

Looks great Scott, and nice weave on the TIG Dan. One thing should be noted, Big Scott is running a half shaft axles instead of plunging axle CV's. If he were running CV's the internal weld would need to be machined some to allow the axles to plunge into the flanges. |

Got the headlight mounts made, we drew them up and had HalfCab laser cut them. |

I'm thinking that in a roll over, that would just fold over without some kind of triangulation. Doesn't look like there's enough room anywhere to do that. |

I like the look of the added roof bars. I'm sure you already though of this but how about on the rear of the top bar going down to the rear towards the inside or outside of the shock? It still may not be enough and need some in the front also. Also, great looking build. Norm |

It was like Christmas in April, ups and fedex dropped off some goodies! The new 30" LED light bar, in case the lights go out in the shop I can still work on my buggy. Seeing how it's spent 3yrs in the shop and only 1 day on the trails!! The new parallel trailing arms from Precision Alloy, thanks to Todd and Dave for a badass set of arms! Big difference compared to my old arms |

RaceBugg1098 wrote: looks good! what was the problems with the other arms? I ordered the arm to be setup up to have a parallel swing instead off the standard Vw swing. They did a great job on the arms but once I mounted one I realized that it was about 2.5 " to long, come to find out when they setup the jig they measured from the center of the torsion instead of the center of the mount that was going to be welded to the rear of the torsion. So I sent them back and they built another set for me and they were perfect. Then once I got one of the new ones mounted and cycled the suspension the drive shaft hit the arm with about 2.5" of travel left. So I cut the arms apart and changed the angle of the upper bar and all is good. Lol |

On soft metals I always used some soft aluminum or copper scraps as shims between the chuck jaws and the part. 1/8" to 1/4" thick pieces have usually worked well for me. You can use a piece of tape to hold the shims to the jaws so they don't fall out when you dial in the part. |
