Dana 30 overhaul. Part 2
OK, I made some good progress today…..and got to play with my welder and plasma cutter a lot. It was a good day Now on to the pictures
welded a little 3/16″ steel to the bottom of my new cover, so I would have a nice ramp to help push the diff up and over obstacles without getting hung up
then ground nice and smooth
cut out my inner-C gussets
tacked in place
thanks to my new plasma cutter, this took a whole minute to cut off (it would have taken me a lot longer using cutoff wheels)
new lower control arm mounts tacked in place. about 2.5″ higher than stock. those are the Currie mounts flipped upside down and switched sides.
much more clearance than stock, plus with it being flipped over, the skid is already built in
truss tacked in place (had to clearance it a little around the new LCA mounts)
ready to build my new UCA mounts, also 2.5″ higher
cutting the tube to sleeve and half sleeve my lower control arms
cut in half….and that’s where i stopped today
