The Slimer Build Thread

Never got a hold of the guy to ask. If i have some free time this weekend I may pull the bumper and take some measurements and start to figure something out with my welding friend. I have angle iron where I work but dont think it will be tall enough for the right coverage. I would just do the 1/8 plate and have it bent but no idea where to even go locally for that.

Any decent fab shop should be able to bend something like that. There is a nice little shop here that has a water saw and a good size brake that could put your 90 in it. All you need is the measurements.

Do you know of any shops in your area?

Actually picked up a piece of square tube but don't think it'll work like I planned, will need to be cut up a decent amount so I'm thinking no bumper and the evo mounts for a while

Opinions on JKS sector shaft brace kit? Anyone know if they are necessary?
Click to expand...

I don't think you'll need one if you have steering assist. And even if you don't, you might not need it. You don't hear about these breaking very often...at least I haven't.

BTW--Are you going to keep a product list for the steering assist? As well as a write up? At that price I think I might do it as well. I was talking to a guy the other day about it.

Yessir. I will be doing a thorough write up and parts list. Before I start though, I want to do mine to make sure I'm not spreading bad information. I'll be able to do mine for about $600 it looks like, with all PSC components (except the gear box).

I know a bunch of people get braces when they have a drop pitman arm to reduce the side load on the sector shaft. I don't see a whole lot of advantage gained from use with a stock arm. I also don't think ull need it since ur gonna be running hydro steering

I said the same thing to my wife. Flagstaff, AZ uses cinders on the road and they work great without corrosion. It seems that someone would have thought of something smarter than salt by now...

Just read through this whole thread... I need to find something better todo with my time.. anyway. Your rig looks amazing! I hope to someday have some good EVO products on my rig!

Also, Flag does use cinders and there is no corrosive issues but come spring time... you have lil rocks on the ground EVERYWHERE!! But I agree we need something better than salt.
 
I went to middle school and high school up there and didn't have a car. I rode my bike EVERYWHERE, so trust me, I know cinders have their downsides. But they are WAY better than salt. Skin grows back, steel doesn't...

are you going to do a DIY ram setup? are you going with a 1.5" or 1.75" ram? i've been looking into this for a long time and it can be done for cheap compared to the "kits" offered.
