Update on Exploder

As of comps went Really well for my 1st event Out of 13 of us in class 1 stock We placed 8th I was real happy with that. The 1st course was real hard as hell I could not even go through the 1st gate so it made us mad. Plus we had to start 1st in are group so that sucked as well.

As for are 2nd course we did a little better but we got half way through and i got stuck up on top and had to get winched off the hill. So i timed out again.


As for the 3rd course it was hard but it was easy cause it was flat and no hills just straight and big rocks I do have a vid I show u all..

Well after installing my Diff Seals and 4 inch Lift kit took it to comp and it failed. The bracket i had was very close to diff put a hole in diff as well Coil spring popped out of upper bucket and ripped off brake line. FYI: Don't use the use the Rough Country Lift Kit on your 1st GEN. I did and it puts a hole in ur diff. So i found a super Lift bracket Picture and had my fab guy fab me up a new bracket. Only thing is with mine is i can't change it from 4-6inch lift just a 4 inch.

As well i took my 1st roll on the comp course as well. So i had to put in a roll cage.

Had my guy make these too. Damn coils wont pop out now

New Rear Bumper Installed Now for some time just adding to my build
 






Its Dubbler Time Will be starting that real soon will post pics as i go



Yesterday i started tearing apart EX again to get out t case. I had to remove both drive shafts, cross member. A few other minor stuff too. Also the 5 bolts and it should be okay to pop off. There is 1 bolt on the pass side top that is moving but its giving me a rough time all 4 bolts are loose and can be moved by hand. Everything is in the way. LOL Cat verder is in my way thinking about removing it anyway and taking all that garbage out. I'm not taken out gas tank yet i wanna see how much clearance i have before i add dubbler. Most likely I'll remove it. today after work I'll try to pop out t case to grab pics.


Dennis

Front drive shaft is in had it installed for a few days now. I also see that my inner seal is leaking once again so I'll fix that again. I have the cell and waiting for pump this week i should be able to pull it off with fittings and maybe some hoes to get some fuel in ex.


Pics

Well i figured i would try to install my Cell Started working on a hole in my rear to fit The cell nice a flat and leveled. Then i got that all done and fixed up. Started hooking up lines and putting lines to Pump but 1st had to go ahead and mount pump to frame rail.

Got all that done then i went and started running lines to rear from other stock lines. Went got that all done i still need to put the straps down and and re wire the truck better than just twist LOL. I put fuel in and checked for leaks and fired her up. WAM started right up great awesome loved that sound.

Then i wanted to test out dubbler and other stuff WOW very impressed with dubbler went up my back yard a 45% hill grade in low low and no Gas just idle. Wow i was amazed at how she ran without me touching that clutch. Again i still need to look over things and make sure stuff is tight add a maintain a few things.
While driving it i did feel a little vibration not sure where is was coming from i think its in one of those Drive shafts. I still need to check my droop on my driver side to make sure DS is not going to hit my cross member. And need to find little things here and there but damn did it run great.

I'll keep you all posted pics are below.

The cell does sit more up front wont see thoes lines when in but wanted to show.
