Danger Runner

[Hyde802]

We needed a little more candle power than the drag-gun could put out for the frame holes, had to spring for some torches.

I made the cart from old bed frame and some extra wheels, the handle is one of the torsion bars we cut out of the runner.

With the rear hole cut, we could do a little better mock up/ spring flex/ shock measure. Front hanger is tacked in place, everything should start to fall into place.

Made some good progress this week. The runner rolled out of the garage last night. Still needs shocks/hoops and the springs are FLAT at ride height. Which isnt bad, but I think he wanted it a little taller, so some ome spring may make its way on to here.

Shock front shocks/hoops up next, then well start on the 63s in the rear.

Nice Job!
Love the post on IG about how many cans it took to complete an SAS.

Hah! I dont drink, so thats what I drink. :beer: My buddy (the trucks owner) did fill up a trash bag of harpoon cans through. lol.

Couple test flex pics while it was out of the garage. Looks like I could have gone a little farther forward with the front hanger, but it is what it is now. Maybe well see how it does with a slightly shorter shackle after driving it a bit.

Ended up having to cut and turn the tabs on the TG shock hoops to make them fit the 14"shocks. I used longer tabs that I had lying around that seemed to work pretty well, but came pretty close to the intake on the pass side.

TG bumps and stops. Will probably end up drilling holes in the bump to help it flex a little.

All welded and painted

And he picked up a set of 36x13.5 iroks to run on this for now.

Square shaft parts on the work bench now, should be 4wd by the end of the week then we can start on the rear.

Nice work dude. Those TG bumps are so stiff, would you drill holes all the way through the side of them?

Yeah, drill 3-5 1/2 inch holes straight through them and then they move a bit. It makes them wear out a tad faster, but like you said, they are crazy stiff.

Cool, I hadn't thought of that. I was planning to get different bumps eventually but I will try that first.

In my head it works like one of those honeycomb tires. haha. Maybe use a smaller bit and more holes? Let me know how it works out for you, ive only done it once so far.

Good ole toyota 4 spline. Uses 2x2x.25 wall for one side and receiver tubing for the other, and some stock toyota joints.

Got the brakes plumed (but I think the master went bad) and tires mounted and time to take it for a 4wd drive.

But first some stripes..

I like to sticker drive shafts and watch them get scratched off.

Rear is still 100% stock, well be starting on that this weekend.

And with the top back on

4xi engine mounts and sliders soon too.

And one more of the runner.

That's a massive driveshaft, for sure. You could park it on a ledge and use that DS to move the truck sideways.

Its happened before. Haha. Ive been running one for about 7 years in my truck. Clunky for sure, but they are SOLID, and I have under $30 into it.

Thank you!

Got the rear chopped out. Will go through the axle: fresh brakes, weld the diff, a little paint then get it back under the truck with some chevy springs using skys kit.

Instead of working on this, we took advantage of the fresh snow and did a little wheelin.

Fricken love snow wheelin.

 

[Hyde802]

I did not weld this diff. But was pleasantly surprised to see it solid when we pulled it from the donor axle. You always have to wonder how other people weld their diffs.

Fresh drum brakes minus the ebrake stuff.

It will get rear armor and some sort of lower shock mount soon, but for now ready to go back under the truck.

My super high tech measuring jig. Moved the hangers 10 inches forward, which put the rear mount right behind the factory one with 45* shackle at ride height.

And picked up a piece of 2.5" schedule 40 for the rear shaft.

 

[Hyde802]

Front hanger went 10 inches forward, used a 10mm socked to space out the rear mount, we ended up with a 50* shackle angle at ride height.

Simply love these built in light holders

2.5 Schedule 40 drive shaft, fresh stickers to scratch off.

Back on its feet. Wheel base is now just a hair over 108.

and out side.

Rear shocks and bumps in. Bilstine 5125 14" shocks and cheap o energy suspension bumps. f250 shock towers to try and cut a smaller hole in the bed. should work pretty well. Also made a mount for the gas tank out of old bed frame, even used the post caps. Tossed on a rear diff guard and made some better rear panels from scrap lauan.

Painted with shocks in.

Some sliders coming up next. Goal is to have this "ready" for a June 12 event.

 

[Hyde802]

4xinnovation sliders going on next. Got the pass side all tacked on last night, will finish welding today, then flip it around and do the drivers side.

The front leg got trimmed to match the angle of the frame, but besides that they went right on.

Didnt get pics, but the frame was plated where the legs weld on. We cut up into the body till the trim line and the sliders are pretty much flat. about 1.5 of clearance with the door open. Well be pivoting around trees in no time.

No real updates yet, but we did use it to unload some spare parts, bud.
