Gotta love a guy with a sense of humor! LOL

Rob has some crazy consulting fees.... so fortunately we were able to handle this one on our own! We had the "Touring" version's geometry all dialed in for quite some time before we released it over a year ago. Thanks for checkin' though!

This is just a redesign of the main crossmember assembly. Main adavantages are rigidity and its modular design.

INSIDIOUS '86 · 10-15-2012, 05:02 PM

Ah see I never been really up to date on your products. So I'm sure the increased rigidity will help our redvines soft frames quite a bit. How much lighter do you say this is over a stock crossmember

Kind of what I figured by the comment you made.

I have the info. posted on here somewhere... but willl dig it up again. The main weight savings is in the steering components switching from gear box to rack and pinion. Our tubular arms also shed some pounds.

This new version weighs one pound heavier than the tubular one. I will get some more numbers and post them up again when I have some more time.

INSIDIOUS '86 · 10-15-2012, 05:55 PM

Sounds good. Seems like a lot of weight is in the stock cross shaft and arms.

I'm thinking "rigidmember" is out of the question so how about "modmember"?

October modmember special anyone?

Now that I've started with the double meanings, "chopmember" puts me in the wrong state of mind.

jimmydean · 10-16-2012, 01:49 PM

Nate, with there be a cost difference between the V3 and the Slice-o-matic slicer version? Or will either design be an option?

*project 67 sub* · 10-16-2012, 02:10 PM

wonder what a dropmember will look like once im able to afford one lol

Mad Rods · 10-16-2012, 06:34 PM

I dig it!! Looks like a space age version!

I can attest to that! Mine is being built as we speak!!! Thanks Nate!

chapster · 10-21-2012, 01:51 PM

Version 4 looks great Nate. Looks to be a lot simpler from a manufacturing point, lasered & braked plate with straight tube.

Do the original control arms bolt right up?

Keep up the great work, now get back to work on the rear sway bar concept.....lol

See you at Goodguy's

We will put one on the next truck.

I would feel terrible if I was the cause of divorce.

*project 67 sub* · 10-23-2012, 04:12 PM

Current build time on these is right at the 5 week mark. We are getting caught back up, so the build time should come down a little within the next couple weeks.

*project 67 sub* · 10-23-2012, 04:53 PM

Ok sweet. That should be right about the time im HOPEFULLY ready to pull the trigger and whip out the bank card lmao. I will get ahold of YOU directly when im ready as their is some things i will need to ask

Yes.

i have a dropmember currently in my 68, which model dropmember would be best for a static drop for a really low ride height. I recall a blazer that was done with one of your dropmembers that had a low ride height.

We go over pricing yet?
