Still going! I'm getting ready to start editing again- tons of footage recorded 👍 I'm trying to get on a monthly release schedule so that the KZread algorithm helps me out a little more but to do that I had to focus on filming and getting the truck "done" to give myself more editing time haha. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

I like it... not looking forward to all that cutting on mine.... also since I have a trussed 44 out of a 78 bronco I think more issues may be had... but who knows lets see how that suspension goes... also I definitely will have to clearance the front more cause I'm moving the axle forward noticed at full compression I had my 40 touching in the rear on full lock... but mine is on hold cause now Im waiting for my new nv4500 to replace the nv3500 I exploded... then I have to mount the tripple sticks and rebuild the 205 and steal the planetary gear set from the factory transfer for my NWF black box. So transmission then back to axels but keep up the amazing work. Hope to see ya on the trails! Cant wait to see your suspension!

Wow awesome. Great work. What motor is it? I just bought the same truck about three months ago with the initial intention to turn it into an overloading vehicle, 4.7L 4x4 5spd. The suspension needs replacing all round along with tie rods and balljoints. Perhaps going this route is an alternative to that. Unfortunately without a garage or workshop it makes it more difficult lol I look forward to watching and learning from your journey. Keep up the great work. :)

Thanks so much man! This build and this channel as a whole is my attempt to do exactly what you said- break the cycle of the way so many KZread channels and tv shows do things these days. Seems like everyone is just looking to get free parts from whoever they can and then push those parts to the viewer whether or not they're honest about it in the process. I'm hoping to show that you can build crazy cool stuff with junkyard parts, scrap metal, and some basic skills and knowledge rather than throwing fancy parts at everything 👍 whether it goes anywhere or not, at least we'll have fun in the process 😎

This Dakota only has rear ABS so I just left the super duty sensor in to plug the hole. The rear actually swapped over with the Dakota rear sensor in the super duty housing

They're factory super duty steel wheels. If I remember right, they're 17"x7" with 6" of backspacing. They're too narrow to run on these tires regularly but they work for mockup 👍

Technically I'm still doing it lol. If I was working on it full time I could have the whole thing done in a few weeks but with a baby and a full time job, things move slow haha

You are very ambitious. Most would just lift it higher. To hell with center of gravity.. Your way will be better in most situations. Will you use bumps tops to limit uptravel? How is the project progressing?

@WebWheeler

3 жыл бұрын

Ambitious or maybe just masochistic lol. I'm using hydraulic bump stops (SPC Jounce Shocks) and they work awesome. I have about 2.5" of uptravel before I hit the bump stops, then another 1.5" of travel with the bumps. It rides great with that setup- I don't even feel the bump stops when I hit them because they get firmer as they compress so it just feels like hitting a stiffer spring rate. Project is going great! I'm actually driving it around and getting a feel for everything now before taking it apart to do all the final welding, painting. The videos are way behind on progress haha. Thanks for watching! Appreciate it 🍻
