Pack your camera. Some fresh wheeling pics of this beast would be great!

 

x2!!

 

Well I did a few more things to my rig... added a XRC8 winch... and fixed a broken truss. Also changed out front shocks.

 

Welll last trip I some how managed to bend my drag link SO now I am waiting on some more DOM and new tube inserts... I know I can grind the old ones off the bent tube.. but instead I will just weld new ones up.

I also acquired a 8"x1.25 single ended ram. I all ready have a west texas ported box. Now I just need to get a TC steering pump and I will be set to do some hydro assist.


I have another wheeling trip coming up in a few weeks.. so I hope parts come quick.

 

Man that thing looks mean, especially with the 36"s, how much lift do you have cause i plan run 36"s too, or well order a set of TSL Q78's as soon as they are avaliable. Same thing basically.

 

The front coils are rUSTY'S 808 (6.5) The rear is a bastard park with an extended shackle. It also has a 2" WB stretch, as well a good amount of trimming. Front travel is limited to 4" of uptravel, front shocks are 14" travel ones

 

Thanks for the info, i may be sticking with some RE 5.5" Coils, how do you like those Bias TSL's? If Interco dont hurry up im gonna order the bias like yours instead of the Q78's.

 

No issues.. I run 3psi on my beadlocks... I also grooved the center lugs... I am going to groove the outer lugs. These tires have never seen a any real street use.

I really want to buy a set of sticky 37's.. really like maxis trepadors, or a set of red label krawlers.

 

Been a minute since I did anything to this thread. SO I made huge mistake and Sold my 36" TSL's, and bought a set of "37" Pitbulls. MY rig is now lower then it was before, so these tires are currently for sale, and I think they are sold. just not sure.

Major mods done over winter were plaed from frame rails, and added Hydro assist to it. Also going to rearrange my back area as I have t change my cage so I can add a childs seat in the back.



















My freshly painted fuel cell mount







Tommorow the plan is to fix my leaking thermostat housing, put front bumper and winch back on. This is going to take some work as the bumper and winch weigh over 150 and I dont have the strength I did when I took it off. ALso hope to remove fuel system so I can figure out placement of battery and fuel cell, and weld mounts for my rear bumper and structure together.

 

Yesterday was filled with frustration.

I reomved the tstat housing and cleaned both surfaces... applied gasket used gasket sealer on both surfaces.. and it stil leaked So I removed it again cleaned off the gasket and sealer and broke out the right stuff.. RTV... applied it.. still leaks SO I remove it one last time and this is what happens

 

Here is a pic of my bumper hanging... Sad thing is MY week old asphalt wasnt rolled in front of my garage cause it sunk I am going to call the paver in a few and tell them to come fix it

 

Bumper in place still have to tighten it up and run winch wires

 

Here is the start of my rear bumper.. I made a few MJ bumpers a while back so what I did was shorten it up, and plate the ends... Now I am going to notch the frame and make an insert out of 2x4x.25 and attatch it using those 4 bolts per side and some welds strategically placed.

 

You should really go back through this thread and fix all the dead pics.

 

I had them all posted on webshots and now they are no longer... Heck I dont even have a 1/3 of the pics that were on here let alone in many of my other builds.
