Run4estrunner's Build Thread

Thanks for the compliments!:thanks: I am really happy with it as well. Now just need to order up some sliders so i dont see that frame peaking out anymore, and for sliding on boulders of course :)
 
This is going to be a very novice question but what are the parts in the picture where all your new parts are laid out that are in between the coilovers and shocks that look like they are connected to the UCA? Metal looking objects with holes in them?

Dont worry, theres no such thing as novice questions, you gotta learn somehow right? Those are spindle gussets. Your spindles are what hold your hub where your wheels, rotors and brake calipers mount. They are prone to bending when abused enough, so a few companies make gussets for them, which are just extra pieces of metal that add strength to the spindle when welded on. You can see in the pictures where i tacked one on, then fully welded it. Then painted it black to keep it from rusting. All Pro Offroad makes them as well as Total Chaos Fabrication and a few other companies. They are more necessary for if you are running a long arm kit because the spindles feel more stress in those cases, but i got them just to beef things up a little and figured i might as well if i was going to have it all apart.
