those were some teardown pics, and here is the cage done.

 

here are a few pics of the HCR suspension mocked up. i wanted to cycle the suspension without the springs on it to check all my clearances.

 

While quadfather171 was building his custom cage, he was kind enough to fab one for me. His fabrication skills and quality are second to none, this is one hell of a cage!

 

parts came back from powdercoat today and i started assembly.

 

Wow, nice set up !

 

Where do you get your chromoly tubing? I'm trying to find some and striking out except for summit. The longest they sell is 7.5 feet.

oh man that look real sweet!

 

ok i was able to get the suspension assembled and installed today. so i figured while im at it i would give a real world review. so here's THE GOOD. they are very high quality, incredibly nice welding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and realy good fit and finish. THE BAD , for what it cost you think they could include ball joints WTF. also a cheesy 3'' extension for the tie rod , really? just include a real tie rod. and lastly, the adjustable radius rods that you have to remove from the machine to adjust them. they are right hand threads on both ends? so now i'll be making another set with left and right hand threads, and using these as spares. but that's about it for

my rant. enjoy the pics.

 

Really coming together nicely buddy! Can't wait until we can hit the track and get these trailer queens dirty again!

 

i figured i would share some pics of my RS1 build. i first got this rig in the spring, and the previous owner did a utv wolfpack cage on it, it was nice but heavy and i was sick of crawling in and out of it so i decided i would would build a new chrome moly cage for it with an opening door, i also will be doing an hcr long travel kit on it, along with a bunch of upgrades. i'll start out with the shock therapy rc2's i already have , but will be getting ELKA stage 5 shocks for it.
it will also be getting a full lock and load aftermarket assasins set up as well. here are some before View attachment 664142 View attachment 664143 View attachment 664144

Yeah, it really was a pain in the arss climbing in and out of that thing without a door 🤪

 

As you can see cage quadfather171 built is awesome but, more important it's super strong so when I end up on my lid (while trying to keep up with him) I'll be ok. With age comes a safer cage!

 

I like this picture better.............anyone can ride around a berm, very few can rim it 😜 Hahaha

 

Sweet toy. 👍

 

here are a few pics of the front bumper i fabbed up. it also mounts the front sway bar that was fabbed up from a UTV inc. sway bar kit. also mounted a uhmw skid plate to it.

 

the new tires showed up today . i went with the 27x10x14 kannati terramasters mounted on KMC grenade x235 wheels. also got all the old decals stipped off today, and prepped the panels for the wrap. it should be in soon ,

and i'll be able to finish her up. don't mind all the different color panels it will all make sense once the wrap is installed.

 

Looking good!

 

got started on installing the wrap today. didn't get to finish the rear fenders yet. need to do a little paint touch up first.

 

Looks badass. What kind of times you lay down with that wicked looking Camaro?

 

that is a customers top sportsman car. it should run in the high 6 second range.

 

What rods do you use when welding the 4130?

 

1/16 '' er70s2

 

finaly got her finished up. getting the spring rates and ride hieghts set was the last thing i had to get done. now it time to start testing.

 

Great looking machine.

 

wow that thing looks great!

 

Awesome ..keep us posted.

 

Looks awesome!!

 

Very nice work!!

 

Badass!
