The Build Continues--Spindles Underway...

Not the greatest picture as it was taken by camera phone earlier today during the build of my custom front suspension, but this is the new spindle that will be going on the front of my truck.

Currently being built by BTF Fabrication out in Rancho Cucamonga, CA and designed around a 2WD Nissan Frontier that he has there in house the new front suspension should be completed in the near future.

All these new parts--spindles, upper arms, lower arms, will be shipped to me, where i already have the springs and shocks in house and brought to another fabricator who will create the upper shock mounts/engine cage onto which the shocks will attach and then mount all these custom parts in place of the stock suspension.

The design is meant to be sufficient to withstand the abuse from desert racing and massive jumps typical of those seen at Glamis and elsewhere in the Southwest.  In fact a setup virtually identical to this and also built by BTF is shown on a 4WD Frontier in this months issue of Off-Road magazine and has been substantially tested.  Needless to say, this should be more than satisfactory to withstand SCCA RallyCross, New England Hill Climb and Stage Rally duties.  Can't wait...
