loooong travel build

[410Fortune]

um those are 4x4 beams coming out, so you are converting to 2wd? or am I just confused?

 

[FROADER]

hey check out my supergay website. www.exploderpilot.com

That's a sweet slide show...

 

[BigDave!!!]

hey dave, didn't you put up a link before about an under the truck four-link before?

man i wish, i probably put up a link to a leaf sprung under the truck set up since thats what i have, but i dont remember

 

[Exploderpilot]

yes fortune, swapping out a4ld and trans case for c4 and equal length beams up front. gonna clean and pretty up those beams and sell em. gotta pay for bypass shocks.

bought about 80 feet of tubing yesterday, i can't wait to see what lance is cooking up right now...oh wait. it's 1030. he's just waking up......

 

[94whitesport]

Is it just me or does Jason ramble over nothing, I gonna do this or I'm gonna do that. Me I don't really like to say what my next move is but I can assure its gonna be big. Oh, I actually started making the beams, extra wide as per Jason request.

P.S. can somebody buy Jasons old stuff, and give him another job cause he is gonna need the money...

What is the rear set up?

I think this one was for me, and well nothing special. I modded the stock leaf pack with some different springs, and some cheap mono gas shocks. I was quite surprised at how well it all worked, I really, really beat the hell out of it. It gave me a good baseline as to how the front works and what needs to happen next. The front works real good and there is zero bumpsteer. The problem is that I NEED reservoir shocks the cheap bilsteins were too hot to touch after a good workout, and started to fade, same with the rear. Everything minus the heims was free, so I put in the labor. I figure all and all it turned out cool. I am now out of power so some suspension upgrades, and a new motor(not telling what kind, 390+hp thats all you get), and I should be ready to kill myself.

P.S. Whoops are easy, you just keep the pedal on the floor at all times, keep the front up and you just skip across...
