Cline buttes for a shake down run, my brake master is leaking.
Stopping into the Fit Garage in Bend, OR tomorrow to swap my front diff oil. Had to break in the front gear set so did a couple hundred miles with the center locker engaged and hubs unlocked to get the pinion and ring to shake hands.

40s and some low range feels like cheating so far

So sexy! The 100 is cool too....
 
Well done, curious to know what are your coil overs and what are the specs. Thanks

Fox 2.5 DSC resis 14” travel. Tuned by Accutune, I got them used from another dude who had a Cummins swapped 60 series.

Very nice! I once built a similar project like yours on 80 series F&R axles and we used 16” dual spring rate coil over with reservoir as well by ProFender (Thailand - made) that was based off the Fox’s original design.

Just got back from Moab+ a few other stops.
Met up with another linked/ SAS’d 100 series @TrailBornRunner - The dude parties hard with a flatbed

The car did great for all 3500 miles of a shakedown. White rim road was rad even though it snowed on us. Top of the world was a blast, and Hell’s Revenge was next level. I tried all the hard lines and barely made it up Hell’s gate even after getting stuck momentarily.

I found 3 of 8 loose motor mount bolts and a rear upper control up missing a nut when I got home but no broken parts (maybe a scratch or two). All in all it was a sick trip. The car was able to hit 90mph in some downhill sections but I was cruising at a happy 75mph for most of the trip. Going up mountain passes wasn’t fun, she needs more power to spin those 40s. Supercharger anyone?

Steering took a little while to get used to but I can drive it with a couple fingers in traffic now.

Wheeling it was fun, but it will take some time getting used to the width. I slipped off the right wall coming up hells gate towards the end because I thought I was wider than I am. Counterintuitive because it’s such a large car now.
40s feel like cheating, low range is good but something lower is to be desired. I was talking with Trevor about options for an Atlas case. Future ideas.
I need a stiffer rear spring, carrying 2 other dudes and a bunch of camping gear was too heavy for the current set up. I believe I have the 615V springs from dobinsons.
I had that Carolina squat going- not my style

Anyways here’s some pictures:

On the topic of rear sag, does anyone have experience with the Dobinsons "C97-485VT – 4.0″ with a heavy load rear end of 300-400LBS of added weight (variable dual rate long travel)"?
It doesn't show a spring rate but I'm assuming it's higher due to the fact that it "carries" more weight, even though my current 615V is supposed to carry 200lbs at a 4" lift height.
There's also the C59-313 (4" lift with 400-750lbs)
or C59-317 (6" lift with stock weight)
 
Trevor! I know that guy! I believe that's my old grill on his rig.
Heckuva guy!
This is a pretty exclusive example of "Birds of a feather..."
Haha, yup that's your grill, then eventually have your hood if I can figure out how to get a VDJ79 hood into the country for not a whole lot of money, extra side question if anybody knows how to. part# 53301-60750

Couldn’t agree more! Looking forward to Crockies to see the latest on his rig.
