I got all the pieces cut today for the passenger lower control arm. Lots of cleaning bending and welding ahead.

Oooh me likey your headers.

Where did ya get em. I've never really looked

 

[charity case]

They are the schoenfeld 179-2 headers. I got them from jegs. They are a 180 degree design I hope they sound good with some mufflers on.

I found this short video of another guy with them.

Is your motor gonna ba in the stock location

 

[charity case]

I was waiting on these to pick how far back I want it. I plan to move it back 2-4" from stock

Wait. What? Where is the front diff going? J/K.

This looks really nice. I really miss being able to run those tires.

Impressive build, keep up the work.

Yo remember my prerunner I think he had the same set up in the first picture the shock hoops look the same

 

[charity case]

I did the math on putting a front diff in...... That's a whole lot of money I don't have!

 

[ktmoutfront]

I won't whore up yourthread with pictures, but it can be done reasonably.

But not with the same success of a 2wd.

 

[charity case]

Post it up somewhere! I'm interested.

This is a kind of build thread. After reading it, if you don't fall asleep, you will know who I am and that pictures are not my thing much.

One of these years we need to call a camera crew and record your truck wade before you go changing it into a crawler or bogger..

 

[ktmoutfront]

That is never going to happen. I will build something else first.

 

[charity case]

Oh yea I've read your thread a few times. That is one awesome k5 you have built!

I guess I meant I can't afford 4x4 and a-arms!
