me being a dad?! absolutely. and it's gonna be a boy. that way i'll get re-paid for all the crap i put my mom thru.......

chevy V8?! absolutley! i see a vortec in chris' future really soon...

mall crawler?! absolutely not! chris has joined our group in the same rig for rubithon and completed the trail with only a couple of small issues. not bad for a sprung under fj60......

orion hd?! absolutely! mounted to a NV4500.......

LC_Hamma · 11-08-07, 10:08 PM

Dam I luv that setup

I shift an NV4500 everyday & it's supa smooth

I assume it's the Dodge version? That nosecone is pure beef!! Lookin real good man.......

orangefj45 · 11-09-07, 07:49 AM

it's the gm version. we already have plenty of gearing with the orion HD and 456s in the diffs.

D'Animal · 11-09-07, 08:38 AM

Isn't that set up going to make his rig too heavy?

I think you should talk him into a 22RE, H41 combo in that 60 and give that set up to me.

Just trying to help you out.

Does anyone know if that Orion HD nosecone will clear an SM420?

team alger · 11-09-07, 10:19 AM

I'm not sure what order these pics will appear, but this is the rig that Georg will be changing the drivetrain. That's old sluice sprung under, and Pismo sprung over. (Thanks Don!)

my pleasure dude!

CaliCruiser · 11-10-07, 06:51 PM

Oh ya that is a bad ass rig, don't you have chevy springs in the back as well? So what kind of crossmember and floor board mods are required for this? All custom I am assuming.
Isn't the overdrive on those trannys something like .7:1? That would be nice to have.

yup, did those a few years ago. then last year we added a little exrta

team alger · 11-12-07, 12:11 PM

That is Don's (FC187) great handy work. We used an FJ62 front housing for the cut and turn, chevy suburban springs, Rancho 9000's as the basis for the SO. Don fab'd a sweet traction bar as well. I then had him build the shock cross member to allow multiple mounting locations, and then air bags for when we carry a heavy load. The bags mount to the leafs, and can separate freely at the frame at extreme droop. it is a very nice system that works from rock crawling to loaded windy roads.
