The Resurrection Begins...

[Donahue]

youre still going to run the panhard right?

[melon16]

yessir its there--its the stock jeep one--bolted on infront of the pumpkin. nowhere near enough triangulation to go without.

[bubbagt57]

how much for the stock skid plate if its metal beause deep ruts in reverse + plastic stock = gone + oil filer hanging dangerously low from all but one bolt broken from a deer = BAD ive lost 2 oil filters from gm's awesome idea of mounting it from shitty aluminum up front

[melon16]

sounds like you need to put it somewhere else bubba...hahaalready sold the skid plate which was composite anyways to my buddy sry!


parts i do have:
-g80 gov lock
-3.42 front & rear gears
-aluminum front diff-posi lok cable
-new moog upper/lower balljoints
-upper/lower control arms pair
-4x4 front wheel bearing assemblies pair
-4x4 knuckles pair
-4 piston front brake setup pair

[1posS10]

could the g80 go into my 98 s10 2wd rear with 4.10's? if so how much?

[melon16]

sorry for the lack of pics lately guys---covering a shift for a co-worker who went on vacation. lucky bastard!!


anyways I have made some progress and I promise I'll get some pics going next week...

--new crossmember is welded in, stock one is chopped off
--rear axle is centered and the angle set, and has been welded in position
--extended the harnesses to the fuse box and moved it up behind the throttle body
--moved the ECU to the left of the throttle body
--put a dual sport kit on my dirtbike (haha--gotta save money somehow!--mileage)


hopefully my yokes will be in this coming week so i can get motivated to make up brake lines and get the suspension setup so it will roll.

stay tuned!

just look at his sig.

[melon16]

Well no pics again tonight but i have all the frame mods done to attach the x-member (it bolts right up now)

no pics because my dumbass drunk friend jumped on a 3-wheeler with no brakes and rolled it about 5 times---luckily he only ended up with 6 stiches in his calf. That blew the end of my night so no time for pics.

house shopping saturday morning so i may have pics up by sunday....no guarantees!

[bubbagt57]

Updated Pics:


-Crossmember mounted up and links bolted on....next step is to fabricate the outer mount for the lower link on the frame side, then I start plating the front of the frame and making coil buckets. then its figuring out what pitman arm to use and making a panhard bar mount......

[crazy91s10]

sweet progress man!!!

[melon16]

meh it doesnt feel like a lot of progress...

but oh well. I have now officially started saving money---I put my dirtbike on the road lol---60+ mpg is better than the high 20's my tacoma gives me!

[DieselS10]

Looks like it's coming along real good.

say what? you mean enduro?
dirtbikes are illegal on the streets in the states

[melon16]

dirtbike--enduro.......same thing. one just has a headlight! lol

[marcua56]

wr450f?

[ChrisInVT]

Wow, that looks like it's basically a coil bolt-on SFA kit...

[melon16]

its an 06 wr250f. its pretty solid and rides decent on the street---I need to ditch the knobbies on the road tho.

I wouldn't say its a bolt on coil sfa kit because it takes a pretty serious amount of frame modifications just to get the crossmember to bolt up.....

but i know what you mean by sfa kit......someone should really use the crossmember and link kit to make a kit for our s10's............

[haro2289]

great progress now get off the forum and finish it lol.

[marcua56]

I had a 250x which is the supermoto one. it was decent but didnt have the grunt i wanted. but it did love FUEL INJECTION!

[melon16]

I'll let the pics speak for themselves:







cut off the exhaust today too






pics of the frame "adjustments" for the crossmember and other suspension pics





















which switch setup would you guys go with here?

this


or this with a switch console above the rearview mirror?



and finally pics of my FREEBEE from work:

[mbord79]

[melon16]

[drmrman]
