Rock Tractor

I finally mounted my tank in the bed. I think I've talked about doing it for about 4 years

One from the back.

Still using the stock filler neck?

 

[Rock Tractor]

Been doing some work on the rig. The wheel base is gonna be 113", and this is using scoutii springs.

I'd like to thank reuben for letting me use his flat driveway

 

[reuben]

Anytime bro, soon we need to get mine done.

Any pics of what the whole rig looks like now?

 

[reuben]

Not yet, it is raining and I dont feel like going back out into it. I will get some up tomorrow.

Here's a pic of the driveshaft I built this afternoon. Sch 80 with a cv.

 

[Rock Tractor]

So here's how it sits now. Still have to make the wheelwells for the rear, mount the shocks and make a new ladder bar.

 

[Scouty]

From the pic it looks like you stretched it pretty far, 10 or so inches? Looks really good.

 

[reuben]

The rear is streched about 9" and the front 3-4" with the CPT reverse shackle.

 

[Rock Tractor]

Finaly got around to making some stretched rear fenders. Not that I need them, but when I wheel in the mud and general wet conditions it helps keep some of the flying debri off the camping gear.

Seems like alot of new tube work ...or has it been that long since I,ive seen it I really like the roof rack?

He cut some tube off the back, the fenders look good bro. Are those bushings going to work?

 

[Rock Tractor]

Reuben, I'm gimped up. I'm lucky I finished the wheel wells today, lol. I should be able to get to the bushings tomorrow.
Randy is gonna hook up with us Saturday afternoon. Should be some good times.

 

[reuben]

Hell yeah, I got the 60 in the blue Scout. Nathen helped me, it took about 20 minutes after dinner.

 

[Rock Tractor]

Cool, did ya do the perchs right, or cheat? I might have a steel tapered shim somewhere. If not, I know Jeff has the CPT ones.

 

[reuben]

I did it right. I redrilled the perches 1" back and 1/4" in on both sides. I would rather trim the front of the fenders then the fire wall. I have about 12* caster so I could probably use some shims.
