i dig this. Looks very cool.

Thought I would put up a few pics for clarification. I measured shock position/height/angle from an autofab and solo bronco shock mount and my shocks on my f series are in the same relative position and achieve the same wheel travel numbers. 12" stroke shock. I know there is a bump out on the bronco...

I fit 12" shocks under the bed, just had to trim a bed support rib to make it work, and also remove or shorten front fuel tank. The axle shock mount is stock so shock isn't hanging any lower than factory. Wheel travel is 18", shock is in the same relative position as in the broncos. I've got a bunch...

Sleeved Raybestos pro parts held up fine for Baja pounding down at NORRA this year.

I ran all of the Raybestos stuff sleeved over on my recent baja trip, all held up fine and seems good to go.

Beautiful picture of your truck and Baja. Congratulations on a big trip. Is that a picture of Bahia de Los Angeles o Bahia de Concepcion? Thanks! Don't know the name of the bay but maybe an hours drive north of Loreto...several bays to pull off and camp at in that section, we stopped for photo ops ...

2k miles of baja this past and the f1 never let me down.

Another small addition getting ready for Baja. Found a good size pelican case at local surplus shop. Added some cup holders. Should get the job done for lockable storage but leave room for legs of center seat passenger. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/jkrell/Black%20F1/8084341D-5DE1-47ED-AED2...

Call genesis automotive in Covina. Just did mine in f150 for 300 front and 300 rear I supplied all parts.

Great day in the high dez. F1 ran great and is getting close!

Didn't get to my wiring, but got a few miscellaneous things done this week. Biggest accomplishment was mounting the GPS. I was thinking about making a bar across the dash between the pillars but after pulling the dash apart a little I realized I could add a little bracing below the center of the das...

Solid edge 2d is a great place to start for 2d cad drawing...and its free. I draw most of the stuff I cut out on my torchmate on it. Very simple to learn and intuitive software.

Thanks guys!! It's been a busy week on the F1 project. I got the upgraded steering and Saginaw pump installed (thanks vintageironfab), man what a difference that makes for steering effort and feel. BIG improvement! Installed Autofab motor/trans mounts (seriously knucklebuster), new 3" magnaflow (nic...

Chipping away at it. Finally got the regear done and built a little mini truss to hopefully keep the 8.8 alive for a while. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/jkrell/Black%20F1/67F752AD-8D06-4C0D-89FE-A2200327EA3D.jpg Planning on going down to follow norra race so trying to get this thing dialed...

For intricate parts I would agree laser or water jet the way to go.

Ambulance steering with chromoly sleeve. Hopefully will hold up for a while.

You weren't kidding about quality issues on raybestos parts. They only decided to tap one side of this guy apparently.

Tie rod looks okay. I sleeved it, hopefully it will hold up.

I guess I missed the wattage setting during setup. Not sure what it is set at. Why would you want it at anything less than the max?
