g1 w/ sled motor build (pics)

dwmmatt23 · 01-02-2009, 11:36 PM

well began tearing apart to strip and clean and paint and fix and customize and..........
thought id show some pics of my build as im going, right now this hauls a$$, got it up to 45mph down my street on gps before it started getting squirley, but had far more in it.

heres how it began all painted in rubber coating

with yamaha 540 snowmobile

front suspension

front off for prep

front cowl getting prepped

found myself a trailer to put it on

kind of nice cause it folds in half

got me some seats, retail for 399 a piece, picked up both for $250 cause they couldnt mount them properly on the rhino they got for so needed to get what they could, good for me

it may be harbor freight but it was cheap and will do for the little i may use it

its just a harbor freight trailer painted black with a sheet of diamond plate for the floor and added toolbox, never had any problems with it as is but im planning on strengthining and boxing in frame and when i come across a heavier axel ill put one in. but hauls cart and bike and misc on long hauls no problems at all

how is the top of the front axle located? it looks like only the two long arms and then the top side to side locator

it's a straight axel with that down sway bar and two trailing stabilizer bars with heim joint going back to frame, same kind of setup that the older toyota 4x4 trucks run, has a ton of articulation up front. Works pretty well on all terrains

What kind of shocks on the front?
