Now for some tuning. the 670 holley was kind a sluggish, so i swapped in a double pumper

So do you really have to watch that thing down their? I have heard theft is a big problem in Panama. Scenery looks cool.

You cut those swampers .?

BTW we ( Panamá ) are the more " secure " country in all Central America ..

 

[redstang410]

fixed, public videos.
Yes i cut the swampers

Not sluggish any more, nice videos.

Thanks
Putting in another pair of shocks in the rear, it feels under damped. Its a temporary forever mod until i decide to upgrade the suspension properly. Read " till i have enough money to do it right"
Until then i'll use it as is.

Hi, nice job! IM In process of planning and doing the same thing

The frame of 80 is it full size or u have stretched it (shortened)? what are the size of swampers and rims(J10 ?) u running on video above (test 1&2)

 

[redstang410]

Thanks,
The frame is full length, only shortened the front ahead of where the steering box would go. Enerything else is stock, including the body mount positions.
The tires are 43" sx swampers the wheels are recentered 12 bolt hummer wheels

redstang410 - Thank you!!

trying to calibrate tires and wheelbase, for my bj40 body, going 38-39" max for 2600mm wheelbase (shortened 80 frame). on your rig for 43" 80series wheelbase length is perfect...

 

[redstang410]

You're welcome.
Shortening the frame is kind of a pain, you may want to try trimming the rear wheel well back so the tire sticks out past the body, like the jeep style

A few more videos.
