Colorado arms coming soon

[DHPmike]

Well Im finally making Colorado arms again. I have an order from somewhere in Louisiana and I have started on the uppers. I should have them done in a day or two and start on the lowers. Im interested in finding a press in balljoint that fits the Colorado spindle. Im also getting a spindle to go through my library of balljoints to see what might fit.

The first sets will not come with balljoints and as soon as I find a suitable balljoint I will include it with the set. any thoughts?

I just designed the upper balljoint plate in CAD. Ill be cutting it out tomorrow and finalizing the upper jig. Ill post pics as soon as I have something.

Do you Colorado guys have any trouble getting enough adjustment to lay out and not have horrible negative camber? if so I can make these 1/2" longer or make the ends adjustable. maybe with heims or poly bushings. thoughts?

OK peeps I have the upper set done and Im working on the lowers. Heres the first pic. The upper balljoint plates are AR500 armor plate.

look for an adjustable version very soon, or basically as soon as someone orders a set. Lowers pics as soon as Im done. Im also looking for different balljoints to fit the 355 spindle. as soon as I find some Ill offer these with balljoints or to fit stock balljoints.

Im also coming out with a 355 trans crossmember and a driveline crossmember that mounts the front of the gas tank as well. these will be above the frame parts that allow you to lay frame without dragging bolts off.

I have the original jigs for these parts from when I did some prototyping for clean cut creations. I also did a 355 back in 2006 that I made all the 4 link and other parts for.

Man Im taking a beating on 355nation.net

Some of them guys think I copied another member who makes arms for Colorados. They said hes been working on these for 5 months. Is that longer than 5 years? I made my first Colorado arms in 2005.

Ive also updated the Colorado page to show the new adjustable arms and arms with different balljoints. let me know what you guys think.
