Buffy have you thought about doing any of the W.E.ROCK stock class events?

I have not thought about running that series. They run alot of the same venues as ECORS.

Now some updates. I have the rear axle ready to install.... well once I get it all painted up with some Extreem Chassis paint.

Heavy duty gussets....



12 bolt... 5:38s... ARB....



All put together. Ready for paint then install.....

[Buffy]

All painted and ready for install. Just need my new rod ends and I will be installing. I will be using 4 inch front TJ spings to provide the lift for the rear. Not sure how it is going to work out but the spring is the exact size as our stock springs.

Nice...especially the 5.38's with ARB's...

...from Matt I pressume

Dont want to rain on your parade...but with the lack of spares
for the 5.38s....dont blow one !!

Does not apply to Buffy's front diff....not an suzu 10 bolt any longer!

[JoFotoz]

Ah..OK

Does not apply to Buffy's front diff....not an suzu 10 bolt any longer!

Didnt figure that out yet..Thanks.

The "spares' questions was the deal breaker for me when Matt offered the pair of 5.38's with the ARBs to me way back...

....plus the price!!

Yea there is some concern on the spares. Hopefully the 12 bolt is stout enough to hold up. It is a stout ring gear, now I've bent the housing but the third member has held up great. If I kill the 12 bolt then I may go with a Dana 60 or 14 bolt.

You could always cyro your R&P for added strength.

Man wouldn't that make a killer sponsor!

need to pant the front corners black to match the rest of the cladding.

Personally I think "pants" would look funny on a VX no matter what color

[Buffy]

I don't know a nice pin stripe wouldn't be bad......

Well I have the motor, tranny, and transfer case installed. The rear with all new links is in. Man those race tires look sweet under there! Next up is to finish up the 5 speed conversion and install the headers. I am also going to build a custom trans mount and do away with the factory setup. No more broken rusty bolts! I will be sure to take some pictures of that when I finish, plush the ground clearance should improve. Took a measurement and I have 22 inches of ground clearance to the bottom of the rock sliders.

lol you know what I ment..lol

[JoFotoz]

Just got my set of Engine mounts today....

His price is 175.00 for the pair I think that includes the shipping back to you. Your mounts would be returned looking like the picture. This is the second set he has made.

...FANTASTIC quality..awesome.

Thanks Buffy..and of course Andy for making them.

EXCELLENT
