My New 1999 Venezuelan 80

[redstang410]

Camping, 2 awnings, light bar, solar panel,

If you guys head down feel free to contact us,
I can work on my truck, but i'm better finding ways of getting the work done. .
Anyways, the new shocks with the bumpstops are awesome. The truck is super controlable and body roll and sway are almort gone. Off road i have yet to bottom out the suspension, and i tried!!

The kitchen is a work in progress, but it does ok

I dig the rear opening RTT, the vinyl cover tucks above the rear hatch out of the way, and leaves room for the 2nd awning.

 

[redstang410]

Suspension upgrades include front radflo 2.5 shocks, thanks to Delancy... They're awesome. Night and day from what i had before.

 

[redstang410]

Matching rear shocks plus 4" stroke 2" radflo bumpstops

In which setting you have the shocks now .?

 

[redstang410]

Max dampening

I dig this rig!
How are things going with this awesome rig?
Any updates?

So in post #85, I see you now have @Delancy 's 5" progessive FlexI coils & his extra long shocks. How do you like that set up?

He's running OME 5" competitions on front and rear slee 6" IIRC .. and last time we spoke he was going to add some crazy idea including short 10" ..? ORIs on the rear for more control but keeping the slee coils .. not that crazy given the weight of this Toy ..

Did some minor upgrades, Air to air intercooler with wry scoop. Led Bumper lamps, relocated light bar on the rack for better lighting, as well as some miscellaneous interior mods . Ill post some pics later when i get them.

As for some crazy Ori Shock install, are you talking about this?

Its still a work in progress, I am now tuning the valving and the oil levels and viscosity to get enough dampening.
Not quite done yet as i am waiting for some soft jaws to tinker with the compression and rebound dampening.
I´ll update once i´m done. All i can say is that it controls body roll real good even without the rear sway bar. and on minor bumps and terrain it works pretty good. The nice part is being able to up the spring rate and ride height even while fully loaded.

BTW i finally weighed my rig at full off road trim with no passengers , its over 7500 pounds.

I saw these in the hydro bump thread...
Will you please post up more pics of your rig on the ramp? 38.5"s are just simply awesome.
Since I asked it's not showing off...
