95exploderboy's Full Width SAS

[95exploderboy]

Ordered Pro Comp ES3000 shocks, a Rockstomper hydraulic reservoir and new rear spring perches to correct the rear pinion angle and drive shaft drop issues.

Not looking forward to coming back from Dubai and working in a cold shop though...

Hey, when do you leave Dubai? i may be there during christmas.If we have the same scheadule we can hit the dunes.

 

[95exploderboy]

I'll be home for Christmas. But I did do the dune driving last weekend. It was awesome!

 

[Spas]

I hope you took some pictures at least!!

 

[95exploderboy]

I think this 3 day weekend should do the trick.

Just have my doubler shifter to finish up and my hydraulic steering res.

As a side note, I should be picking up my trailer tomorrow

 

[95exploderboy]

Lookie Lookie

There are still a few odds and ends to finish up, but its wheelable. I'll post up some specs later on when its complete.

Yes I know its tall. The BL will come out when its warmer or I flop it, whichever comes first. I also think that I need tires with less backspacing since I rub my radius arms right now. Plus, wider is better.

Feel free to post up your thoughts.

Looks great.

I dunno about tires needing less backspacing, but you miiiight wanna look into rims with better spacing : Looks good, when we goin' wheelin??

What happened to the yellow?

 

[IZwack]

Oh faaantastic!!

 

[dman726749]

Looks good..except for the tall thing like you mentioned...

[zainyD]

Very nice! Looking forward to seeing some daytime pics and some closeups of the suspension & steering.

 

[FROADER]

You know what I meant, I was just excited I guess.... Seeing how they were your rims, can I get my money back?

What happened to the yellow?

Ha, the yellow went away when I cleaned up the 9", its a boring black now...

I coulda done that, but then it woulda been likely that the doors would have frozen shut. It was in the 20's that night. Plus, its been down for a year, I really don't care if its dirty, I just wanted to drive it.

Oh faaantastic!!

Oh yes it is. I've got a few things to do to it on Saturday.... Anyone wanna wheel RC on Sunday?????


IZ, Micah, any idea what the measurement from the ground to the top of the front fender opening or maybe door handle is on your beasts? I wanna see how it compares to other rigs I've seen in person.

 

[Spas]

No, you can't have your $$ back : (Didn't I give you those anyway..?)

Holy freakin' rust on the doors, Batman! Are you going to herculine/spray over that at least?

allow me to be the last to subscribe in a fashonably late maner with a simple "im jelous"

 

[mynameisaric]

seeing those 5.5" springs on your truck gives me great hope for my truck. I locktited the body lift so i dont want to take it out, but i also dont want a rediculous ride height, but yours looks good. i'll be starting out with tires about that size also. is that a 2" or 3" body lift? and can we get some good detail shots of the trac-bar/steering pump area, and your coil mounts?

sweet ride. you should bring it to the badlands this summer.http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198140&highlight=badlands+08

You mean steering gear? Cauz he doesnt have a steering gearbox, he's got a hydraulic steering valve -- its full hydro

Which reminds me, exploderboy, so what turned out be the reason for the huge fluid difference in the reservoir?
