drive shaft loops

[matt78]

Well,me and my buddy who has a welder are fixing to modify and weld my drive shaft loops on. Thanks to josh for posting pixs of the race van a while back. I am using the summit racing universal kit as well,probably should have done this a long time ago. Thanks again to josh h

[matt78]

Live near quinlan,east of dallas. I bought a universal kit from summit racing for 50 bucks or so. Will get picks later.

Good to hear! Josh is pretty helpfull guy

I seen the ones on Summits site and they are inexpensive! we stilled fabbed our own though

 

[matt78]

Have to fab the one from summit as well

Since there's still fab involved just how complete are the loops from summit

 

[matt78]

U have to cut and reweld all 4 supports,its not that bad ,I will post all of the pics,how they look out of the box and after cuutting and rewelding.

I used the summitt loops on the front. Just had to bend and cut some and drill some holes.

I made the rear out of flat stock.

 

[matt78]

Well,I'm done. Can't post from my phone but I can email the pics. It was the way we did it,but there are lots of other ways as well. Can't wait to run slicks now vs my old drag radials,however the radials did o.k.

I gotta put some on my truck this year. Looks like I'll be calling Summit.

I didn't think you needed one at the rear, Kyle?

 

[matt78]

I have one on the back shaft by the carrier,and the front by the trans. My emai is [email protected],shoot me an email if u want pics of mine.

 

[Harbin_22]

Some people put them on because they have to, I put them on for their real purpose, to keep the driveshafts from beating the hell out of everything. I only had a $75 in all parts/material and a couple hours labor. I like having them on there, good piece of mind

 

[DMAXchris]

Thanks for the info. That's pretty cheap considering some of the ones I've seen for sale.

 

[Harbin_22]

Yeah I don't see how some shops sleep at night. You could spend well over $1000 for loops from some shops. Crazy if you ask me.

 

[matt78]

1000 bucks u can have slicks and wheels,well that is if u are 2wd
