Just got the tires on today tub is still a mess but here are a few pics. Of my Lexan coil bracket I made and both rear sprockets with gussets. 4140 axles are in place with all new bearings Hubs are also welded to axles with gussets machine is a mess right now And I still don't have my T20 fixed
Looking good LD.Looks like things are coming along pretty good.Get that t20 back going you will be riding soon.We want to see that first ride video.
Won't be able to install the tracks anymore with the 22x11x8 tires but I like the ground clearance and they are 2 ply lots of bounce to soften the shock to my iraq war souvenir leg damage and make riding a lot more fun the 4 ply lawnmower 18'' tires just did not cut it
Nice upgrades, i especially like the gussets on the sprocketsOriginally Posted by L.D.Bruce

Good call on gusseting the sprockets, especially with a powerful G50B Chaparral powering the Superchief.

Got the idea from Drew he turned me onto a thread about it. Since I was not doing the 1 1/4" Axle upgrade it is the least I could do. Plus I have suffered a Right rear sprocket break before not fun at 30+ MPH I hope with the gussets on the hubs and rear sprockets and 4140 steel axles I can extend the time between bent or broken axles
Glad you decided to make an upgrade. It would be a shame not to after putting the new axles in. Its coming together well.
l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!
don't laugh I was going to get the full decals but right now with pipefitting very slow and the money I sunk in the SC already I bought some pin stripe and vinyl decals the super chief is on the rear quarters corny I know but it does not look that bad and will do for now

I pulled the plate on the T20 to check the bands on that side they to look new drums look good as well. Monday I'm going to order a brand new drum and relined band so I can get it back going. It's all I have left to do
Nice upgrade. The gusseted sprockets should really help with bent axles.
Your decals actually dont look to bad either.
