Shocks.

weak-link · 06-19-08, 08:50 AM

I dig the rear upper shock mounts, way cleaner then mine.

skidplate

did you find some TJ bumpstops?

Kavik · 06-19-08, 09:16 AM

Sorry if I missed it, but where'd the brake lines come from?

LCOwner · 06-19-08, 10:06 AM

Summitracing.com. I love Summit. I get my parts the next day as long as I order by 1400

Thanks for the props.

Like that skid plate huh. Think I should have it plated gold?

I have some Daystar bumps on order. I hope they're here today.

freds40 · 06-19-08, 10:30 AM

Are your rear shocks 12s or 14s? I'm guessing 12s.

LCOwner · 06-19-08, 10:41 AM

Yes 12's

AfricanToy · 06-19-08, 01:24 PM

lets see some flex pics

LCOwner · 06-19-08, 01:32 PM

Maybe this weekend if I make the Moonlight Madness poker run.

CaliCruiser · 06-19-08, 02:45 PM

I like that belly pan. I see provisions for the toybox, but is it going to support the tranny too? Who made that for you? Are you using existing holes in the frame or cutting new ones?

Dylan

Dirtgypsy · 06-19-08, 02:48 PM

what valving did you get for your shocks? I am curious because you are not running sway bars. Could you get away with, or is it even a good idea, to run heavier valving on the Bilsteins and not run a sway bar?

your suspension looks well done! the rear shock mounts look great. heck everything looks great.

freds40 · 06-19-08, 10:03 PM

So you going to make it up the hill this weekend?

weak-link · 06-19-08, 11:05 PM

Are you gonna make it for the dusy opener?

LCOwner · 06-19-08, 11:40 PM

Well it lives. I drove it for the first time since February. I was going to take it on a local poker run but I think I'm going to pass and ride in the FOG's jeep. There are too many little things to work out. I'll try and get some video tomorrow.

I'm running an SM420 so no tranny mount. A friend at a local fab shop laser cut it and broke it up for me. I was expensive and if his boss had not let some of the other things he's done for me slide through for free I wouldn't have done it. I welded nuts into the frame and retapped the existing cage nuts to 3/8.

I am but not in the wagon. Going in the FOG's jeep. At least it's a military and not some poser rig.

Looks good

I can't wait for the wagon run on dusy to see how the different combo's work

LCOwner · 06-29-08, 09:39 PM

You're right that will be interesting. I'm going to finish up some loose ends this week and get it smoged I hope.

I didn't know the valving was adjustable on the Bilstiens. They are just off the shelf from Marlin Crawler. Where would I look to find out?

Dirtgypsy · 07-06-08, 09:11 PM

they are not revalvable but they come in different valving depending on application.

there should be a part # like BE5-6249-H5 or BE5-A242-H5 on the shock. this will tell you if you have heavy or light valving.

thanks,

clint

I'll have to look.

Jason, do you know anything aboit this?

freds40 · 07-07-08, 06:08 PM

I believe Marlin uses 1 standard valving for all runners and mini trucks. They are probably slightly light on compression for a 60 (a lot more weight over the front) but they work pretty good.

nope, whatever Marlin stocks on the shelves work's for me. It's leaf sprung 5,000lbs 4X4 wagon its never gona ride like a BMW.

Only thing I wish I had done differently was take some of the angle out of the rear shock set up(she tends to wallow in the rear). But it gets me through the trails and back home just fine.

LCOwner · 07-07-08, 08:15 PM

I ordered a set of OME heavies today to get rid of the stink bug. After I mounted the front bumper and winch it dropped another inch or so. I'll have pics of the stink bug tomorrow and I'm expecting the springs Wednesday.

It still has a bit of 'death wobble' and I suspect it's in the tires. I don't feel like dismounting them this week so I'll run it like that for a while.
