    Driveshaft binding

     



    The driveshaft yoke wasnt made for more that about 10 degrees of travel....so i took a grinder to the yoke and fixed it ....ground some clearance in the yoke...we do that on our off road Samurais and havent had issues....if you dont have clearance, you will bend the driveshaft or tear the ears off the yoke..(from experience).
    Made some aluminum spacers on the lathe to keep the arm centered in the piston for the front rocker arm on the front suspension...(piston pin area).

    made some brake lines for the front and rear. Might be hard to see but Notice the "L" channels i welded to the inside of the frame to retain fuel line, brake lines and wiring. These channels will protect from exhaust heat and keep the utilities from draggin in the dirt!
