The SAS test

[ahhjaws]

Well, after getting my truck in shape, studying for and completing 2 tests last week for school, I finally got to go out and test my truck out. I was so busy I didn't even know if the 4WD worked until saturday. But thats what we tested first on our trial run. 4WD checks out...

Now before starting an exercise program, one must first strech and get loosened up.

Then one must run up and down stairs.

I really didn't think I would make over these two steps, one was about 2' high, and the other was about 1.5', but I went up and over with no problems, no spinning, no nothing! The sand we thought would be a problem, since all the rocks were covered but nothing happened.

Next in the exercise program one must go cross country over many hills, step inclines, and rocks.

All in all, my truck worked perfectly, no problems at all.

Looks really nice! Is that truck still a DD? I'm glad everything worked the first time, it makes it that much better!

Thats awesome, what springs and RA's are you using?

 

[Trckmagik]

Yeah, it's still my DD, but I'll probably get something else in the next year or so. I calculated it to be about 13mpg now, but it's worth it.

heh! Bring on the tough ones, I didn't even need lockers for those. lol

It will be fun in Moab next year.

Splat did 3' square ledges with 31s, 6' rounded ledges

I'm sure you'll have lots and lots of fun with that setup, you have one of the most capable DD's anywhere.

Nope, the brake lines are fine, they even have more slack in them too, but I don't think I've tried doing my full flex yet either.

 

[XplorerKid]

you should ramp it..... do you have an aidal of how much it will fully flex ??

 

[ahhjaws]

I don't think it will go too much further than this pic. The pas rear was starting to loose a little traction right before I stoped to take the pic.

But that is because the shocks limit the flex as of now.

The color of the JD parts really match your truck!!

Congrats on the build-up!!

 

[SVO]

SWEEEEEEEET!

 

[biggs85]

So what were you going to do about the shocks limiting the travel? Was it just that the upper mounts needed to be lowered?

Very nice, I`m a little jealos actually, because it kind of looks like mine, but has that great SAS setup.

sweet
