Bent Fab EVO 4 Build "RangeKrawler"

Crusty NP205
In process of being reborn
I went to tractor supply today and picked up all new hardware for it. Grade 8 is cheap since its sold by weight there, so I figured why not. I started to assemble the new 32 spline front output as well tonight. I had to swap all the gears and bearings over to it from the stock 30 spline, the stupid C clip really fought me.

Can't wait to see this thing finished, its gonna be sweet... Except for the whole chevy drivetrain idea ;D
Also looking at the pictures of your rear links, are you planing on running a trac bar in the rear at all? If not I'd say flip the uppers to the inside of the frame rails and try to stuff the upper links as close to the ham as possible. Just to get more trianglution out of it, and it might help with mounting your air shocks. It looks tight with the upper links like that. Thats just my opinion, I'm sure you probably have a full plan for it though.
OH WAIT! One more thing, are you planning to do mohawk's on the axles?

No tracbar in the rear. I have enough triangulation on the lower links. You only need about 45* of total triangulation to keep axle position and this is a popular Rockwell 4 link setup so it should work since Im using off the shelf axle brackets. The upper links are actually getting remounted on the frame side to be further out since the little bit of inward angle gets subtracted from the over all triangulation. I had http://badapplefab.com/ cut out some brackets on his plasma table I sent him a DXF file for, so it will allow me to move the uppers out more to maximize the triangulation.

So sick, but like Roger said also incredibly out of my capability

I just realized the crusty 205 pictures are of a different NP205 I have that one is a ford case, woops.
