Rear Cross Member Setup

Summer is upon us with the longest day of the year just a few days away.  Today, it's my birthday!  No, seriously. So what better than to get an update on the build. 

Randy at Extreme Overkill has been putting together the suspension and building the mounts for those beautiful coil over shocks that are on hand.  Here are some shots of the rear cross member replacement.
Out with the old
Where'd WHO go?!?
Measure twice, cut once.  Except in this case, cut it twice!  You will need 2.

Check out these awesome shock brackets Randy sourced!  Awesome! And strong!


Tacked and ready

Progress, and Tons more pictures!

This update is going to be a little more picture heavy and text light.  Extreme Overkill Fabrication has been busy on everything from the frame down, and a bit above the rails as well.



  • The suspension links are tack welded and installed.
  • The front coil mounts are tacked in.
  • The new rear cross member and rear coil-over mount notch are in progress and being designed.
  • The front and rear axle armor is all trimmed to fit. 
  • He is building weight support rods to take the place of the coil-over. This is so The Spike can be cycled on the lift to check clearances, determine if all mounts are correct, and get the chassis lift height finalized.
 
 
Also in the near future, mounting the steering box. I picked up the Low Range Off-Road frame bracket for the steering box, but with no instructions, we need to do some research to get it right.
 
 
 

 
 
On the parts list, the front hubs have arrived and upgraded set of brake rotors are also in hand. We are still needing calipers, if anyone wants to sponsor a good set of those.
