First ever 87 +3 a arms.

87warrior917 · Dec 17, 2011

Spent all day after work on these bad boys. I only have the one side done as of now, and still gotta do the shock mount. This has been by far the hardest thing to make. First off They are totally one off arms. I didnt have a stock set to go by. Only thing i had to help me was my ASR's to figure out the Hiem joint bungs angle in relation to the ground. Ill be settin these up for the newer warrior shocks that are 14.75" instead if the 87-88 14" shocks. Hopefully tomorrow will go good and the other side go together alot faster. Enjoy history in the making...

Really impressive, they look amazing. Great job.

duneracerweston · Dec 17, 2011

A+ job dude now can you copy for the other side?

DeadLastRacing · Dec 17, 2011

HAH. Holy chit son. You've really outdone yourself now. Looks great! After all these posts of members saying there gunna make arms, someone follows throu. I take it you got that bender a little early? I see a future in fabrication perhaps??

Humm, that frame looks VERY familiar......yet I see an engine and bars on it now. You got something up your sleeve again?

Have you decided how your going to mount the shock eyes? I really like how my arms have the plating around that mount, its somewhat of a skid.

duneracerweston · Dec 17, 2011

DeadLastRacing · Dec 17, 2011

Perhaps some of these in due time?

dont think he has decided he want the shocks before doing the shock mount so i would imagine he has some plans for that

OMFG that would be the ultimate front end.... BUT my wife would literally KILL me if she found out i paid that much for shocks LOL. I was actually gonna do the a arm design like this but it was hard enough the way i did it.

Plans are today to finish the other side, which is gonna be a challenge, but nothing a few beer wont help! I plan to do a skid outta 1/8" plate, that will also help in the strength department.

Thanks for all the kind works fellas. If i woulda had all the tools to this when i had my other 87 I woulda done it then.

I still may make adjustable upper mounts on the frame, kinda like Gasman had on his warrior. I think itd be cool to have the option of adjustments. Stay tuned, and i should have pics up later tonight of the complete set...

Having my own company of some sort would be a dream come true... I do how ever have some plans on getting some decals from Dead with my name and special sig for anyone getting my stuff to have

bones · Dec 17, 2011

rappy'97 · Dec 17, 2011

Those a-arms and shocks on that Raptor 700 are beautiful...

87warrior917 · Dec 18, 2011
