Hey Matt,

Grab a hold of Brooks and shake him till he posts those videos. Or at least e-mail me them.

I'm working on it..I have them downloaded. I'm finding it hard to post because of the file type. I'll try and e mail them to ya:hillbilly:
 
It pulled out of the threads Matt. Terry from All-Pro had me send it back to them and they'll forward it to Walker Evans. Sounds like it'll be repaired/replaced under warranty (I hope). I'll let you know.

Side note: I won the RS9000XL shocks at CMCC (how did they know mine was bad before I did???) but they don't make them for the FJC yet or I'd try them out on the back.

Sounds good Bill, I'm sure they will make the Rancho's :cheers: for the Cruiser soon.
 
You guys have no clue! I saw what you guys typed. Ha! My crawler box worked awesome! An 80 with a crawler box is simply unstoppable. It does not give up. Makes the truck 100x more capable. I could do hard trails with ease. I did rock ledges, rock gardens and mud holes with ease. I am very impressed. Well worth the money. But you guys can keep on being ignorant. Like you always are. Or you could smarten up and realize that a crawler box in anything is awesome. You guys are saying a 100.1 crawl ratio is useless in an 80 because having an auto and brakes are better. LOL no clue! I will show anyone of you first hand at the Fall Gathering how good an 80 works with a crawler box. If you got the balls!

Jesus dude. No one said anything about your rig. I don't think anyone really thinks that the crawler box doesn't work. It is just no one wants to hack their rig apart like you did. Plus they are very expensive. I'm glad your truck works well you. We are just looking for a poor mans option. I don't think anyone here is "ignorant" or "doesn't have a clue".
 
Seems to me that other than some gears and tires you already have a "Black trail ready rig" 5.29s are overkill unless you're a trailer queen and there is no reason for a crawler box with an auto tranny. The only one I know of who did that on an 80 is Chris Sterns from Yankee Toys and he can't drive to begin with.
FWIW, I run 4.56 gears and 36" Swampers with the OME J springs/shocks..

I don't think a crawler box is really necessary in an auto 80. that's why you have 2 feet and a torque converter!
I was refering to these.
 
It really doesn't matter anyway. I shouldn't care what people say. I know what I got. If people don't understand it that's their problem. I'll just keep on wheeling...
 
Come on Chris,
not necessary doesn't mean *not useful*...
I have no doubt that it makes things easier and the rig more capable.

It just depends on what level you want, and how much money you want to spend.

And are you saying you couldn't do any wheeling with your 80 before the crawler box?
I KNOW you have because I've been on the trail with you! :D

chill out and with any luck I'll be having a :beer: with ya at the fall gathering.
I'm going to try like heck to make it this year!
 
I know I kinda over reacted the more I think about it. Sorry :)
I'm not saying I couldn't do any wheeling without it. Just now I have way more control with less damage. Plus it's cool to just crawl over stuff when others have to use the skinny pedal.
Awesome you are coming to the FG you will have a blast!
