02 Beast's 100 Build

[deerhunter1557]

are your T-bars maxxed out?

 

[02 Beast]

Yep maxed out, need to adjust them. Going to play this weekend, so we'll see how it does...

 

[02 Beast]

I was messing around underneath the hundy yesterday and I don't think my t-bars are quite maxed out. I think it looks great leveled out and when I was off-road the other day, didn't see any problems.
Besides more down travel, why should I lower the front end some??

I bet your angles are bad. The higher your front end is the more stress it will put on your CV axles, and other IFS components. THey will wear faster.

 

[02 Beast]

That's what I thought. I guess I will get under there and lower it some next day off.

It does look reaaalll nice with the lean its got now though!

 

[02 Beast]

Yea, the level stance looks great, very aggressive looking, but I'd rather put money into other mods instead of unnecessary repairs... I guess

Looks good and I like the color

Give us the measurement....fender well to the center of the hub front and back for reference point.

Did you change your t-bars?

love your rig

same as mine clunk and all

 

[02 Beast]

I did change my t-bars out.
Measurements fender well to the center of hub:

Left front = 22 1/2 in Right front = 22 1/2 in
Left rear = 22 3/4 in Right rear = 22 3/4 in

It looks dead even eyeballing it, but it is a quarter of an inch lower in the front...

How many miles do you have on your hundy? When did your clunk start? I have read that it is not a problem, just something to get used to. I have about 78,000 on mine.

Thanks for the measurements
Full extention without shocks is about 23.25 (front) on both my '99 and '06
Looks cool but very little down travel available.

 

[02 Beast]

Yea, looks great but, t-bar adjustments coming soon...

Dropping the front will increase departure angle.

 

[02 Beast]

Makes sense...

Makes sense...

I did that, and still slam my rear bumper on everything

Looks good! Was it necessary to mod the exhaust?
