Custom Explorer Chassis Build.

looks good

I spent the entire day today working on the chassis and trying to figure out how I want the bags to go. I adjusted the rear control arms so the wheels go negative now rather than positive. I also got the torque arms in and set them up to where they don't bind up so much with all the travel.

dope

slacker

oh yeah no doubt, wasnt knockin ya pimpin! great work man!

Thanks for the comments I really appreciate it! I have the rear bag brackets tacked in place, I was hoping to get to the gussets today, but it ended up taking alot longer than I had planned rebuilding the compressor in my daily, so I couldn't make it out to pickup my steel order before they closed.

Uploaded some more pics. We decided to change the valves, rather than cluttering things up with the SMC valves we were going to use the owner decided to upgrade to an ASCO polished billet manifold. These things are really nice! Also cut, formed and welded the bag gussets in place, I would have got the other side done but I ran out of cut off wheels for cutting out the gussets.

are those x3 headlights?

I have no idea what the headlights are other than BMW, they were already done before the rendering was even made.

yeah the bmw suv..

I finally had time to upload some more of the pics.

Rear bag brackets metal finished.




fuel cell mounts bolts in from bottom and has other supports that go underneath the cell.
