Prodject ZeroToWow

FEEELS SO FINE

I can't begin to say how good it feels to be out wheelin again(as a driver):D :D :D
Not in a stock rig or a slightly modified rig but one that can accomplish only things that I have dreamed about for decades... Crash you made ...ya MADE it happen. THANKS TONS!!!!
Crash you are amazing.. like Mark said earlier; its one thing to see pictures of zero2wow, but its a whole other world to be there in person.. drive and take her thru her breakin run ....your work is incredible Mike......

Picture this:
Here its the "coming out run" We leave the parking lot and head directly to the wall... the rock face that Mrmacrro described ..... I mean I got 15 minutes seat time and were at the rock face (any body get picture of that) so I thought I would take it easy to try the wall... The guy that was with me had never been wheelin before except on roads with snow on them, I found out later he wet his pants : - O I love it...

What a day, seeing old faces getting to know new ones ...... Mark and Mike we gotta do this again in a few weeks. Meeting and hanging with mrmacrro what a great guy... I like your style man.. Never knew when Crash said it would be a a break in run he wasn't kidding. :D Crash went on his side... Mark trying to climb a 10 ft high boulder flopped his.. (pictures to come) and I broke a rear drive-line right at the very end of the day.......

more to come later...
thanks guys
zero2wow:p

You may have succeeded in that part. When I am finally able to take my Scrambler all the way down to the frame I'm going to be keeping this thread and you in mind. I don't want anything quite as extreme as the end result of this buildup, but now I'm thinking that frame mods/work you did would be an excellent foundation for my own more mild buildup.

very cool, glad it is of some help to you....


As soon as I get access to the site I store my pics I will have new ones, kinda laying low for a few days before I go attack the rig again, plus, I have to put a windshield back into my rig :D
 
See the size comparison and more trail pics of this project here.

Good job Crash, can't wait to see the rest of the mods!

Width

Hey Crash (or Jeff),

I was checking out Mark's comparison pics. (Looks like you guys had some fun). Do either of you know your total width from outside of tire to outside of tire?

Thanks,

JR

You can blame the delay on me, although it was quite entertaining for my wife to watch me gab on the phone with jeff and get the measurements :D
 
Ahhh. My eyes! :D

Where's a list admin when you need one?? ANYONE, please delete those pictures from this legendary thread... this thread is too cool to have those nasty pics included. :D

PICTURES OF PINK

Just thought i'd let you know i deleted all the pics of your pink jeep even tho they were starting to grow on me-lol--JC

Ya the were growing on me too .. like a cancer that would not go away.. haha

I gotta say to you a BIG THANK YOU for posting those creations.. After my daughtr got to see them she decided that maybe the fucia zero2wow was not her favorite color.. YES YES and I gotta tell you that her brothers are real happy she's changed her mind lol


Little Bethany did like your Camo with white, grey, black and was it fucia... did you delete that for good or do you still have it saved some place? I hope shes not going to go with red either...

Crash you talkin about Kate and Jeffs rig?.....Or we talking about your rig.............Rear link bar? Is that the Traction bar we'd talked about?..........Steering Parts?.........Do i sense a Hydro Assist coming?..........How about that cage to keep Jeff and his Sweetie Safe?.......................Your killin' me........I need to know!-JC:confused:
 
hahahaha, did I loose ya JC :D

Yes, this is on zero2wow, its the very last leg of this adventure.
A rear track bar to keep that purdy driveline purdy. Then the full hydro steering, and we are done for now. It will be coming back to do the cage once I get a chance to mess a few sticks up on my rig,lol...
 
Ok, the track bar is WELL under way.

Here are the removeble mounts on the frame

The reason for needing to make the track bar mount on the frame side removable was due to 2 things I needed. One, I wanted the track bar as far near center as possble(so articulation is not affected) and as long as possable(due to the angle needed on the track bar and the t-case being in the way)

Here is the x-member welded to the footings on the frame

I hope to have a few more pics here in the next couple of days

Here is the track bar....

Here are the tabs that are welded onto the new x-member.

Here is the shackle I made that wil mount to the x-member. The last one I built I used polly bushings at both endes of the shackle. We found the bushings after about 6 months started to tear a bit more than I wanted due to the rotaion of the track bar when the suspension flaexed. Another option was to use a johny type of joint, but never been impressed with that setup. So, I decided to go with a hiem instead.
