Damn, can't go on the 30th. I work til 4. The only way i'd go on the 30th is if I was staying the night till sunday afternoon.

 

The plan is to be out there all weekend and come back Sunday late afternoon/evening

 

Little Memorial Day Fun

 

I'm so jealous right now.

 

Cheap way of maximizing shock length...






They are just some 1.5" square tubing with flat bar tabs welded to them.
I measured all 4 corners for the compression length and drilled holes to maximize the use out of the unused portions.

 

Trying to picture how those work.... you get 'em on yet?

 

No, spent today swapping in new brake lines.
Had to get a new flaring tool and I had to replace two fittings on the hard lines.

Uwharrie Tomrrow for the Weekend!

 

Even though it took much longer than just our lunch break, those new lines were worth it. They sure to look purdy

 

Fun weekend at Uwharrie.
Damage report:

1) AdamK broke his passenger side axle shaft at the ears.
2) Friend in a Taco broke his passenger side CV
3) UJoint went out in my rear drive shaft at the axle. Luckily caught it before it completely broke, it only stretched one of the straps.

Additionally we also Broke the ujoint in one of the RC cars & Broke the Drive Shaft in the other RC car.

Also, did a little trail side mod as the 35's were rubbing part of the fender, 4LB sledge took care of that area.

Here's pictures:

 

looks like alot of fun

 

Bought a used Rustys TCase Skid for a good price.



First thing I did was cut it up...



Mocked up the bottom



Then got it all tacked to shape




Big thanks to Adam K for doing the welding





Weld testing RTI ramp




The little harbor freight welder did what it needed to, going to take it to the shop Monday and finish welding it with the millar.

 

Little more Welding today with the MIG by Mr. AdamK himself:

Nice mud shelf!!!! lol... just kidding man. That's really good work on the skid plate... why wouldn't the OE design work on it?
