MyNameIsAric's 98 FULL width SAS

[mynameisaric]

stock pump, just had to buy a metric o ring to jic conversion fitting. I can try and find the receipt if you want. i can't remember what the metric o-ring size is at the moment, but it converts to jic-8. most of my plumbing came from surpluscenter, but i had to get some stuff from another website that i can't think of right now, and i'm pretty sure that is where i had to get my adapter from.

I haven't nailed my system up against any rocks, so i can't really tell you how well it performs offroad, but i can turn my tires on dry pavement with no effort.

That'd be great if you still have it. Thanks.

edit: IZwack has done some mods to his stock pump. I think he got his up to 1600 psi. Mine runs at 1400 according to a digital nitrous gauge i hooked up. I have no idea what the flow rate is, but i don't seem to have any problems. Just need a bigger cooler for those hot summer days.

OK, i think she is done. Still has a leaky passenger side rear axle seal even though i've replaced it already, and my driveshaft contacts the gas tank skid in a bind, but those are minor things. Could probably use a bigger steering cooler too.

had my buddy matt take it for a spin while i snapped some pictures.

Front flex is OK.. Rear flex is better. hopefully the coils just need to break in?

This one felt a lot more vertical inside the truck.

Nice Aric! As well as "done", that is Never... Remember seeing your Ex in Naperville about 5+ years ago, and thought, how did he get 33's on there!

Looks good. When's it hit the trails?

 

[mynameisaric]

when i graduate college in 2 years probably. I've got no way to get it to the trails currently, and i don't drive it further than a 10 mile radius from my house.

I have a few bugs to work out. who ever said my 3/8 socket u-joint was a bad was right... sort of... it was OK, but i'm definitely upgrading to a half inch impact swivel socket. I also need more up travel in the front suspension. Rear suspension is good. I didnt find any problems with it... especially considering it flexes better than the front.
