Nice mutt!

 

[D'Animal]

That is not a MUT that is his car alarm.

(Trunk Monkeys were on Back Order.)

Nice mutt!

I like the chain saw mount integrated into the front bumper.

I thought you might like that

let me know if you need me to sign some papers so you can make it into an add.

they are next, 3" muffler tubbing

Mmmmm..... 3" exhaust ; P (Don't ask, I'll eventually do a write up)

Question on this one. I thought about bringing the studs closer together for more shock distance and got slapped for it (locally not here). Has it helped? Whats the difference?

 

[weak-link]

I drilled 3 sets of holes in that shock-mount-bar-thing. in that picture they are in the middle of the three holes. so far no complants. yeah the back end sways a bit, but nothing a sprung over wagon should'nt do. I'm looking for another set off tj bumps for the rear.

do it the way you want, think outside of the box and get out on the trail.

Thanks, and don't worry I get out on the trail (when its on the rubber).

So why the long trip home you speak of else-where?

 

[weak-link]

Still got some bugs to work out in the trans, nothing big just a tweak here and there. I was sweating bullets coming down until we pulled over and played with it abit.

I still gotta find the right brake lines for the rear. I haven't had rear brakes for three months makes for a fun drive everyday

 

[weak-link]

BTW, did you get brake parts yet?

nope, educate me on brake parts

so is -3an, 5/16's or 3/8's?

I'm thinkin I'll go with a banjo bolt and line to clear the springs, should give me the clearance I need...maybe

 

[freds40]

-6 is 3/8. I believe -3 is 3/16 (I think)

You might check with a parts store Because I think the Explorers used a banjo from the factory. Then again, by the time you get the brass block from the line with the Banjo coming off the caliper, you might be right back where you are now.

Pull the caliper fitting you have not and see if Western has that fitting but in a 45 or a 90.

 

[D'Animal]

No scratches yet?

I had the guys down @ Marlin Crawler build me the crossmember. I could have done it...but It was worth it not to... when its up to me to fab something it tends to get a little ghetto.

anyways here's what Rocky came up with

 

[weak-link]

Not yet, I here they have some really tall curbs at the Mall across town. I'll go run their curbs and report back.

 

[weak-link]

Just got back from running Dusy, good time. Not a single problem(except I kept burping the front tires until flat). walked the trail with no worries. used 15gal of fuel(shaver-courtright-kaiser-fresno). busted a fender marker lens on a branch, but that was the only damage I took.







Tim whats your frame to ground measure out to?

 

[LCOwner]

I'll try to remember to get that tonight.

So you fueled in Shaver and made the trail and home on that?

no, I dumped in 6-7gal @ knight's camp. I was just above half before adding fuel. when I got home I'm at half a tank

 

[LCOwner]

Where is Knight's camp? I assumed you filled up at Shaver and then added the 6-7 gal.

 

[weak-link]

25.25"

I'm at 22.75

Where is Knight's camp? I assumed you filled up at Shaver and then added the 6-7 gal.

Just north of east lake, just after you cross big creek. (some cool cabins about a mile off the trail/camp)

 

[kling-on]
