Thread: FAST-Fabrication class 7 unlimited build

I have met you before a long time ago, and your borther wanted to trade his ranger when it was red for my older brother's blue 94 ranger. I know josh since we went to Glamis like 8 years ago or some shit like that. Also the entry fee's for a Baja race are nothing compared to the fuel, chase trucks fuel, insurance, hotel, food, and all that other stuff. I'd stick with the smaller races to start with. also my truck isn't street legal so I don't drive it around ever.

I forgot DRIVE Racing

The pinch bungs on the kits are a "option". I put the pinch bungs on the radius arms as a bonus.

I must say Dave,... that is very exceptional work. I mean really... I dont think anyone has a more awesome avatar than you.

more sick pics to come tomo left camera in truck.. took all the goodies including the gmr stuff up to JSI motorsports new shop in santa maria... truck is gutted and 2" new cage starts going in monday, Josh said he is going to work 10 hour days on it, so we should see updates daily or every other day.....

if things go as plan, will be running a new non ball joint spindle set up, using 1" uniballs....


My old trailing arms and 9" are for sale, rrp bought the custom seats I had made

My new 2nd pair of fox 2.0x4" bumps are for sale, my 22 gal cell is for sale

the tires and rims are for sale...

Oh JSI is going to knock out a sick boxed beefy engine/shock hoop cross brace for me

we will be running 2.5s all around a 16 c/o and 18 triple bypass rear with 4" bump, and 14s and 4" bump in the front.... going to dual quad strap every corner on clevis, thats pretty much for now

if any of you need info or contact info on any of the people helping out with this let me know.... wait to you see the goodies from gmr.

Dropping off at JSI


















For Sale

how much for the 2.0 4" bumps

350 without cans.... 20 each for made cans 30 each for new kartek....but there is a guy who might be buying it, but whoever pays first gets them

damn dude you are dropping some coin did you rob a bank

Sounds like you are going backwards more then forwards. 175 cage will pass no problem and will be safe. Keep it simple and stick to the plan. Save $$$$$ and time that way.

Its already out, i rather there be no doubts, especially with a v8 going in. Why sacrifice safety for a couple weeks of work?

A 1.75 cage is safe, especially with the amount of tubing you had in there.

exactly your buying everything 2 times and it's taking longer than normal now.

I agree, SCORE rules say no. Plus im not a fan of sub frames. Wasn't my idea.

Im covering the cost of the 2" since its my preference, the old cage though is NOT going in the scrap bin, going in a 1500 Ranger were it will work great for that application.

Not sure why you guys are so scared of 2"

I like 2" but you already had the 1.75" done. Anyways it'll be cool when it's finally done josh.

I hear ya, stop by and check out the shop sometime.

hows my head room going to be with helmet josh? pics tomo of new cage A pillars hehe

True statement... shrederific!

Why are you running the heim horizontal on the top of the housing? From my experience the upper heim lasts longer when ran vertical.

that is a question you need to ask Jason at GMR

I know i'm not the only person thinking that those JSI trailing arms look like ass.....

edit: glad you switched those out for those GMR links.

The hiem should last the same Vertical or horizontal. Especially if the geometry is set up correctly. If you have to much pinion change your going to wear out the hiem no matter how you mount it. I had a freak incident a few years ago while running the hiem vertical. I landed sideways on the rear corner and popped the ball right out of the hiem. Ever since I have been doing the upper link mount on the wishbone horizontal.

Heims ran horizontal seem to last quite a bit longer in my experiences. And that is both set up on trucks with very little pinion change

oh and i didnt rob a bank, only rob my bank account which leaves me broke thats why I am selling all my other stuff,

I completly agree, for the record, not my links.

some updates from today, JSI took out the Energy Suspension cab mounts (only in truck for few months and truck was not driven for sale) he replaced them with a sold mount. He started mounting the front kit, got one A pillar in and dash bar...plasma crap out so that going to make cutting take a lot longer, unless someone wants to rent theirs out to us.

great work josh you are moving along, the shop really gets you on the ball lol... i have the rest of the heims, placing shock order in a couple days it looks like sway a way, i was planning on going to the race this weekend, if you wanted to go to it i could deliver you some stuff at the race

wont your links run into the C pillar with it that low on the frame? Why didnt you just run the tube to the top of the frame?

There aren't c-pillars in the truck yet?

Yea thems be A-pilla's yo.

And damn, that 2" tubing looks HUGE in there!
