Lookin' good

ruffrida2005 · 04-27-2009, 11:42 PM

haha rest of the frame hasn't been done yet, waiting on some more money, gonna finish up the motor and trans first, then finish the frame. Then I'll start some work on the cab, looks like it's gonna take a while, Army just doesn't pay enough.

hey what made you go with the suicide doors raised cross-member and not a DropMember?
just curious.....
you frame looks very nice

on the progress

ruffrida2005 · 04-30-2009, 01:10 PM

well Jason hooked me up with a hell of a price, I got close to 500 off for everything powdercoated and shiped. the SD kit has less parts to weld also. I've always bought stuff from them, so I know how their workman ship is. Both are built the same. Im very happy with it, went in easy. all the parts fit correct. just a little trimming with the mounting holes on the crossmember. I've never Z'ed a truck but everyone that has and has a SD or PD crossmember would rather pay for it.

joe231 · 04-30-2009, 01:20 PM

cool...
as far as I know the Porterbuilt DropMember is totally bolt-in....

ruffrida2005 · 04-30-2009, 04:04 PM

The only thing that's not bolt in on both of them is the frame notch for the rack and pinion, other then that it's all bolt in, Jason welding 2 bolts on each side of the crossmember to seal up the whole thing. Nates I believe isn't welded on both sides. I just had to open the hole up a little for it to fit right. Either way they do the same thing, Jason's just uses less welded peices which is better in my opinion. I like Jasons motor mounts better as well, just gives it a cleaner look. With nates kit you can order everything from the rack to spindles, breaks. But you have to use what they use, Jasons you will have to order everything else yourself, but he lets you know what you need.

joe231 · 04-30-2009, 04:13 PM

yeah I forgot about the notches.....
you are saying you have to buy everything form Porter?
I have heard other-wise. he will tell you what works with the DropMember and you can get it from whom-ever.

Other than the rack and the adapter sleeves, it uses your stock suspension and brakes, with some modding of the lower arm...
I'm not trying to argue, i'm just sayin'

not to mention, Nate is the Originator

are you using a PC? what OS are you running?
I use microsoft's image resizer
here is a link for XP
close to the bottom on the right ImageResizer.exe
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/D...powertoys.mspx

after you install it to your computer, it is very easy to use, just highlight the pics you want to resize and right click them, click resize image and it will ask you what size to wan to resize them too....simple
