Spent all day after work on these bad boys. I only have the one side done as of now, and still gotta do the shock mount. This has been by far the hardest thing to make. First off They are totally one off arms. I didnt have a stock set to go by. Only thing i had to help me was my ASR's to figure out the Hiem joint bungs angle in relation to the ground. Ill be settin these up for the newer warrior shocks that are 14.75" instead if the 87-88 14" shocks. Hopefully tomorrow will go good and the other side go together alot faster. Enjoy history in the making...

Just showing the frame, yes its a 1st gen.
 
YES! cant wait ill take one whenever your ready
 
HAH. Holy chit son. You've really outdone yourself now. Looks great! After all these posts of members saying there gunna make arms, someone follows throu. I take it you got that bender a little early? I see a future in fabrication perhaps??

Humm, that frame looks VERY familiar......yet I see an engine and bars on it now. You got something up your sleeve again?

Have you decided how your going to mount the shock eyes? I really like how my arms have the plating around that mount, its somewhat of a skid.
 
Perhaps some of these in due time?

OMFG that would be the ultimate front end.... BUT my wife would literally KILL me if she found out i paid that much for shocks LOL. I was actually gonna do the a arm design like this but it was hard enough the way i did it.

Plans are today to finish the other side, which is gonna be a challenge, but nothing a few beer wont help! I plan to do a skid outta 1/8" plate, that will also help in the strength department.

Thanks for all the kind works fellas. If i woulda had all the tools to this when i had my other 87 I woulda done it then.

I still may make adjustable upper mounts on the frame, kinda like Gasman had on his warrior. I think itd be cool to have the option of adjustments. Stay tuned, and i should have pics up later tonight of the complete set...
 
so how long till we see a steering stem ,a company name and a logo

Having my own company of some sort would be a dream come true... I do how ever have some plans on getting some decals from Dead with my name and special sig for anyone getting my stuff to have
 
Lookin good! Can't wait to get a set of these on mine!
