Diff Drop Brackets

[ZEUS]

Right on, Tom! Find a Jeep bumper and you have the radius pretty much done! Don't forget the threadlock when putting the brackets back on and I also used gasket maker to minimize leaks. For the crossmember... eh, screw it... I'll post pics of it tomorrow so you can see what I did.

Cool - last I heard you were still running without the crossmember. I'm more concerned about getting the brackets modified right now. The crossmember should be a piece of cake after that.

I think I'll wait to locate any kind of materials (Jeep bumper) until I discuss with a shop.

Lucky me.

The half shafts that I got from a junk yard had the diff brackets still installed. A guy at work is trying to set up his own welding shop & is willing to give it a shot.

As soon as I dismount the xtra brackets, I'll get him started on those. Then I'll get him to modify the ones from the Proton as soon as I pull them off. Don't be impatient (I am the king of procrastination) but I'll make them available to the forum & keep the cycle going.

But the first set will go to someone with 'offset from hell' BWAAHAAHAA

Tom,
If possible, I want one of those too.
Peace.

I plan on keeping the chain going as long as the welder is willing so part of the deal will be that as each person gets the drop brackets, they will have to send me the old ones for the next mod.

We'll be an even closer family then, LittleBeast will have Tom4Bren's diff brackets installed, Tom will have LittleBeast's, ...

Haha..... remember I never said that, it was someone else..... I may have inferred that in 10 different ways, but I never said that in those words, lol. Now as far as getting Tom4Bren's diff brackets, I don't know about that one, they are probably all bent up from his offset.






For those of you who question if I am kidding shame on you of course I am.

No, but you said it looked dorky or something!!! Good thing I thrive on abuse.
