I did 14" CO's outboard on a stock Rubi rear with Barnes towers completely through the frame rail. I had to do all new crossmembers underneath, and some new sheet metal on the tub. I'm a two door and the rear seat still fits. I did a double triangulated rear with 4" stretch. It has about 5.5" up travel and 8.5" down and sits at about 3.5" of lift. It was a pain in the ass, but I'm very happy with it.


More gussets were added after this pic.

Interior with new sheet metal.

Sweet Yeah i need to try and keep my seat incase we bring the dog camping.. Damn dogs messing my build! But its nice to still keep it if i can, just more challenges.

Keeping the back seat was the biggest challenge of my build, but it's not fun if the whole family can't come.

Ooowee.... that's going to be tight going over the engine.

Am I missing something??

Backhalf?

Yes... got to be something missing right there!




Anyhow.... looking good Matt.

Yeah that cross bar will have to be a damn tight bend, worst case scenario ill cut up the hood a little...

Ha yup was going to mount the fuse box under the battery, but due to the massive amounts of work that would be i am just going to remove my intake box and run a cone filter off there and put the fuse box where that it.

As for the back halt not going that crazy just more along the lines of what dirt and the carolina truggies build did and just notch out that section completely and build the frame back around it....

Hoping to get the fuse box in this weekend and start this thing up for once!

I know... just screwing with ya on the back half. That's just not smart thinking when you have a late model car. Ummm...

I got lucky with the stretch, in that it put that crossbar right between my radiator and engine.

Did you cut down your axles... for some reason I thought you were full width?

And good... I was wondering if that little box was some new fangled TIPM they had on your year, but not mine. I basically did the same as you're thinking of doing with the TIPM. The more wire you strip from the engine harnesses, the easier they become to place. Just deleting the airbags and their various sensors probably lead to nearly half of my big box of wire.

Well starting on my frame notches...





Hoping to have these welded in this weekend and cut out the section between them mount the rear shocks up. In the perfect picture this will be standing this weekend, but my plans have usually been changing to much to guarantee this...
