Stuff I have been working on.

Got some more work done on some semi interesting stuff. The Jimmy I bought need a motor. Swapped one in and was up and running around Thanksgiving. Going to put the 14 bolt in it and I bought an eight lug dana 44 to swap in. Also have some 37" Hummer goodyears to throw on it. Pictures:

John installed his 205 clocking ring:

im new here so im guessing your some kind of awsome machinist or fabricator

 

[ryan22re]

I was more thinking part time amatuer instead of awesome, but thanks for the compliment.

 

[79bonanza]

all that stuff comes out looking pretty professional to me

Coming along good nice fab work.

Who's makes that clocking ring, what position do you have it in, and how well does the twin stick line up and work.

 

[ryan22re]

I made the clocking ring. It has two positions, 17.5 and 35 degrees. He is in the middle of the two.

You can buy one from this guy here:

Not mine though. His clock at 19 and 38 degrees.

Very nice work Ryan! Keep it up, How much is the k5 getting lifted? I also am putting a set of 37" hummers on my m1009

Just the body lift. Gonna cut the fenders for the rest.

Eventually I'm shooting for new springs/shackles of some type that will be about 2-3 inches of lift (not including the body) and 40's.

Finished up the heavy fab on the doors. All that's left is some gussets, finish welding, a little grinding and paint.

i see some nice new d44 axle shafts and some pimp 1410 yokes on that 205.who sells all that nice high quailty stuff ?

Maybe I missed it...what size body lift are you running? I like how you were able to clock the T-case up without cutting the floors up.

The 44 I bought either had a chipped ring gear when I bought it or I busted a tooth off of it putting it together. Decided to cut my losses and buy a 60. Put some new kingpins in it, cleaned it up and threw it under the truck.

So the 37's are on, with just a 1" body lift, a 1" zero rate up front, 1 tons and trimming. Hopefully start the 465 swap with a flat belly this weekend. Square tube front shaft and 2x4 tube rockers/mini boatside coming shortly as well.

I'm loving the tube doors, how did you get the latch to work?
