Start of a homebrew longarm setup

[Me223656]

Made my new crosmember today. Had my wisdom teeth out yesterday so with no work today i took advantage of it. I bought this jeep about a month ago. The front axle took a hit and bent all the brackets holding the control arms and all the steering components. I replaced the 231 Tcase. Instead of rebuilding stock i decided im going to build a longarm setup. Today i made a simple crossmember out of .25" C-chanel. After i get the arms built and set im going to cut the crossmember and make it removable without taking the arms off.

Good thinking instead of going stock. I'll be waiting on more progress, keep em coming.

[Me223656]

Sure will. Ill post as i make progress

[hahaboy]

are you using 2"x4" c channel ? your t-case seems dropped a lot and how you tight your t-case mount ?

[Me223656]

The t-case is in stock location. If you look in the center you can see the 4 studs for the mount poking thru. I made a spacer that bolts between the mount and the t-case to drop the mount low enough. Its 2"x6" channel
