In The Shop - Disciple Off Road

Really happy with how the front end is coming along. Been a challenge for sure but…that’s what makes it fun! Track bar was the biggest challenge to clear everything while still staying parallel with the draglink and keeping it as long as possible. The new track bar location and angle is much better and gave us way more room for the PSC, tie rod

Here you can see how tight things get at full lock.

Being that the steering and track bar are so high and a lot of up travel, notching the frame was a must. We started with some cutting and cycling to confirm we had what we needed. We still need to make the angled cuts but you get the idea.

With a good chunk of the frame missing, we will be adding plating on both sides of the frame along with the inside. Here is one of the plates with provisions for rosette welds.

I’ll have updates soon showing what we are doing for the bottom end of the knuckles for the steering.

Nice work and looking real good

I give it six months before it’s back under the knife and three months before you say you hate it because it’s too slow. lol those dang 3.6’s can’t get out of their own way especially on 40’s.

Oh I absolutely agree and a motor swap is definitely next on the list.

Steering is coming along! Really happy with it so far. Now to somehow fit sway bar links/tabs and build a skid for the ram. And yes, the upside down PSC sticker is driving me nuts.



A look at how we made a double shear work on the XD knuckles. Almost time to fully weld everything up.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!
