well got the 42's put on today. I went with some weld on bead locks on some steel pro comp wheels. i used TotalMetalInavations bead lock because of the integrated anti coning rings and they where much cheaper than most.

Crappy night pic. Austin kept his bolt protectors off his bead locks when he sold his jeep and decided to donate them to the cause. i"ll take some pics tomorrow in the day light of my bedazzled rims.

Forgot this pic. Note ducked taped wheels. I've read a few threads where guys will put duck tape on the inner bead of the rim to help the tire stay on. They say 2 to 3 layers helps. Im a try 2

Damn these pics. They are normal on my computer

Day pics.
The front axle ended up being 64 5/8" and the rear 60 5/8". Those are 3.5" back spaced wheels and am really happy with the front width with the 42's. I've got some 2" spacers coming for the rear to match the front.

Looks really good. Are you sure you want to match the front width? I like my rear axle about 2" narrower than the front, especially if you're ever going to compete.

I do want it to match.
I'm really not into competition much and its going to be tight when i mount the rear shock if i don't space it. The front just looks like the perfect width with 42's where as the rear looks like it would be tippy.

This will be my rally machine for the most part so i want it stable.

I finished my steering column and linkage. Much easier to get in and out.

Well finally found me a nice 5.3 for a good deal close by. I got it all cleaned up today and got it in the buggy. I made some motor mounts and started mounting it tonight and the rear shocks tonight. Any body have a standalone harness made? computer flashed? who did you use? learn me please.IMG_3268.jpg

Yes. The front drive line is almost a straight shot. Its slightly angle at the t case end. There will be some drive line ossiclation but they will be liveable. The rear will have a carrie shaft and is longer so it will be pretty decent as well. I went with 1410 yokes all the way around. Im not racing it or doing long distance speed runs in it. They will survive with my intended purpose of this build.


The motor sits up like that so i could sink the t case under the seat slightly and still have the tranny clear the belly tube. The t case will stick out of the chassis a little and i will have to deal with it. I could of made it fit in the chassis but i decided i wanted more seat room. heinsight i would of made the chassis 4" wider. I built the chassis width off measurements and what other people had done. In a perfect world i would of had all the parts when i started this buggy.

Most rear engine rigs have crazy angles like that. It works just fine. The Atlas in mine was a little higher than that and sat next to me.
