Back on all fours, and it now moves on its own

looks good man!

i like the contrast of the Bling Atlas, and Rusty XJ Springs! when are you going to have it on the trail?

 

[bustanutley]

The goal is memorial day, I don't have but a day or 2 of work left, but I have barley been in the country much the past several months, so progress is obviously slow.

Hi All:

Zach, looking great!

So, how long are those XJ springs? Width?

Regards,

Alan

Hi All:

Zach, I can see that you re-located the rear shackle mounts, is the front fixed end still in the stock location?

Thanks!

Alan

Shocks install at about full droop:

Ride height and new brake lines completed:

New exhaust slammed together:

I can't tell but are you running Stauns Or Tirelocs cuz I don't see any beadlocks? Looks like you're about ready to get'r rollin & add a few more dents Is this the last round of mods for it?


and it is very fascinating to watch someone else operate my truck and see how much things really do move around

I didn't get to drive the big red truck

 

[bustanutley]

I don't have bead locks and haven't lost a bead since I have had 40s (touch wood). When/if I get bead locks they will be stauns.

This it for now, wheeling season is now I have some plans in the future and there will be some more shiny new parts for it when I get motivated

Wheeled BV carnage last weekend, truck worked really well. The atlas is the best thing ever. Only pictures I have from the weekend currently are of me dumped on the exit

 

[Isotel]

nicely done!

That Exit is downright nasty. Cant we Drop the BV? now that Boulder Carnage is gone.

I also took this time to go ahead and modify my webber to allow it to run a little more off camber

I'm fixing to rebuild my Webber.
Any info you can give about what you done? My doesn't like to be put in awkward positions.

See those two copper pipes that come out of the top? Those are float bowl vent extensions. Here is a thread that explains the theory a little bit. Overflow valve on weber - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board

you should also lower the float bowl level, I did that a long time ago.
