Making the template for the new diamond plate firewall and putting the top part in.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
So the next step is getting the bottom part of the firewall/floor inplace. Once they are attached then i can start making body mounts. Once the body is mounted to the chassis, then i can mount the motor in its final resting place. Once all thats done, then its time to mount shocks, links, and heims. As well as a laundry list of other things!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
Are you going to lower the body down or keep it up high? I know that would make you remove the floor and require a lot more work, but i was just wondering.
The rig looks awesome. Love the full Monster Truck style frame. Really makes this thing awesome. What are you going to go with as far as suspension? I love this rig BTW |

When you make a truck like this the major concern is trying to make the center of gravity as low as possible hince why the motor is mounted in between the frame rails. Id like to make it so that the wheel wells will actually be functional so when its done it will just look like an over sized stock suburban. If that makes sense, so it wont be sky high with like 2ft between the tires and wheel wells, the tires will sit inside the fenders which will give it a real cool look in my opinion. Thanks for the questions i like hearing what others think good or bad! Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
I think I pictured exactly what you said, and it was answering my question perfectly! You will be lowering the body down to as low as possible and building a custom floor. Did I get it right?
The links and suspension setup is going to be great. I am... er... was running king 2.5's on my Ranger. The performance of those shocks is just awesome. My only question is will the 3.0 be big enough to handle the weight of the rocks with 6 massive boggers?? I know they make a King Kong shock that is a 4.0, but i think it is only in a bypass shock configuration. Man this is one of my favorite builds on any of the forums I'm on. I'm just wondering, I have never seen a monster truck being built, and i have loved them since i was a kid, so i am asking a lot of questions. |

Most monster trucks use nitrogen shocks like night stalkers or patrick enterprise shocks. I think only a few run coilovers like adam anderson off the top of my head. Hopefully ill have the floor built and put in in the next few days. The rocker boxes were all rotted out so that took a little bit to fix. Im doing diamond plate floor which will look real cool when its done! Keep firing away the questions!!! Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
Sounds great man! What size shocks are you going with? (length wise?)
Yes, the kongs are ginormous. A couple friends in So cal ran them on the rear of their F150s and tundras. I was picturing this thing being airborn... Posted via Mobile Device |
