Wish i could... gas and not having a dog sitter prevents me. Oh, and the fact that I got a butt-ton of stuff to do to get ready.
 
You know I would be there but I've got drill and Lori is out of town till Sunday. Me and the kiddo till Sun. Sorry Bud!

We all have drills too..

I've got yard work and hardwood flooring to do.
 
This turned into a what are you doing this weekend thread... ; )
Got my driveshafts in from carolina driveline !

So that means i got the zuk mobile tonite!

I took her down the street ( basically my driveway) so far i have 1st & reverse. I shift the doubler and it working. Can't shift the dana 300 because my triple shifters didnt come in today >: (

So i had the doubler in low and the d 300 in low rear wheel drive.. I think.. Pretty slow i like the fact that i can power brake it to make it even slower.

I dont have any wires hook up for the tranny or the kick down cable.
I revved it in Drive to about 5 k rpms and it didnt shift to 2. I can manually shift to 2nd.
Does the wiring help it shift?
Not too familiar with autos ..

I tjink i may have too much air pressure on the shocks ... Supposed to be set at 7-8 inches of tube showing.. Im at 12 & its a 14 inch travel shock..

Got a little stinkbug going on; )

WAY too much pressure in the shocks. That is the beauty of air shocks.

I used to run mine with about 6-8"

I set em at 250 psi so i can adjust em down..
What people are doing to set the psi in the shocks , they are setting the nitrogen tank the same pressure thst they want the shock at and just doing a quick burst while the shock is fully extended.

The schrader valve on the airshocks are too short to use your guage. I bought schrader valve extensions and may try that.

The 1 st time i tried it it shot oil all over me.. I felt like a bad girl in a porn..
 
You have to take the pressure off the shocks....then use that gauge I gave you. I am not sure why it won't fit.

You can do that bit with the regulator, but every time you hit that schrader you will lose 5-10 psi.

Work on them on the truck with the tires and axles hanging on the lift. The oil will be down and away from the valve.
 
I know nothing about truck shocks but i used to pump up shocks on mtn bikes and even if you're quick like lickidy split you'll lose 5-10 psi when taking it off a "hi-pressure" shock.
You might want to try a bicycle "shock pump", not a typical bicycle pump. it's small and pumps up shocks for bikes and some go up to 300psi and they're shraeder valve

Buzzys HP Shock Pump 300 psi
 
Deepest water i went threw was about 3 feet. Dont see doing that again anytime soon..

Flexed the zuk out ... Yep need to remove more of the body. The front barely flexes now.
i think i got air pressure right on the airshocks we will see.
Triple shifters finally came in today so started mocking them up... Yep need to remove more of the body..
Going to run a tube from the driver to passeger side to mount the shifters and tranny tunnel panels.
This bar i will eventually mount suspension seats .

Take it up with the tires or that tree that keeps mocking me.
