Completed frame

newbie555 · 08-25-2008, 02:04 AM

so i had a little time tonight and i decided to complete the bottom portion of my frame. I took a peice of 3/8"x2" aluminum bar and i bent it to follow the shape of my skidplate, then i added a crossbar that connects to the holes in the bottom of the engine, and then another at the piece of tubing closest to the rear of the engine. I connected the front of the peice to the hole where the skid plate was mounted.

All i can say was for two hours worth of work the difference was like night and day, and i had already made new top mounts and redrilled the mounting holes and used larger bolts and gorrilla glue.

Night and day, how? Less vibration? Better handling?

Thanks for sharing, been thinking about doing something like that myself.

ill post pics up as soon as i can, it was a night and day difference in vibration. Igot the idea from porterzcustomz, but since i dont have a welder i figured id just bend up theis aluminum and see what happens.

i really didnt expect it to do much, but it is 100 percent better.
