Wow those axles are gorgeous.

 

[Mace]

Wait, Paint?

 

[woody]

Ride height (ish)....rear shocks at 35psi, fronts at 50psi. Roofline is at eye level.

I need to get back over to Rockcrawler.com and check out the build again. I missed it was having 8 lugs!

[raisinhell2]

Wont work on a stock f toy chassis mine is highly modified . We only used the main cage rebuilt the frt and rear for coil overs Perhaps I will start a build thread

 

[bluehawk]

Got my chassis rails finished up. Cab goes on tomorrow so I can start fabbing body mounts then spring hangers and get my axles sorted!View attachment 2627476

How many square feet is your garage and how many BTU's is your heater hanging from the ceiling? Does it heat good?

Showoff!

 

[chappysfj40]

i put a grill on mine last night. oif course i still need to trim zip ties.......

 

[chappysfj40]

so i put brake lights on the other day, first time in over 5 years with brake lights on my wheeling rig. hahahah and i made a idle adjustment, and made a bash bar to protect my psc ram but after looking at think it has too much of a Jay Lenno chin and need to make it smaller so there is that.

Working on my seat time...this is an obstacle called ClusterFawk off the TNT trail (and next to the Mario Bowl)...ClusterFawk was broken/named by Cody Waggoner in October 2020. Unsure just how many rigs have made it successfully, but it's a solid test of your rig and skills. John Hembel broke a front shock on the initial wedge, Michael Brassanini failed on his first attempts, Dave Wong cleared it, Michael made a 2nd run and cleared it, then I finished with the entertainment

We had WestDesertWheeler with us for video coverage, will share that when it goes live.

I failed this time...ended up in this spot about 4x after clearing/climbing the first major wedge. Backed out successfully 3x, but the 4th time left me at the bottom on my passenger side. A winch to "settle" the front and the car fired in a smoky plume...I was able to rear steer/rear dig back onto my wheels. Ended up down 2 quarts of motor oil and 3 quarts of trans fluid (due to a pathetically poor trans vent routing, fixed that today)

I'll be back to conquer this one.

This didn't buff out....

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Looks like an absolute blast.

November 1 wheeling video

 

[raisinhell2]

This is what I have done since Aug 23rd after breaking an axle and locker. still trying to get Nitro to warranty their parts.

Sunday afternoon view.... Ironman Stage 1 (year 1 TrailBreaker at Sand Hollow)

I helped with development on Milestar's new Patagonia MT02 and have the ONLY set of 42's on the trails (like, if I wreck one, I'm done....lol)....this is after 4 days of hard wheeling, pic taken at the top of the SnakePit obstacle on the 10 rated DeKleined trail. They are breaking/feathering in quite nicely, and for a non-sticky DOT compound, I'm very impressed with how well they perform. Still playing with tire pressures, the rears were 9psi when we returned to the trailers.

 

[jkimmel]

The 42’s are DOT? Any idea if they plan to make a sticky? I know after I dropped my reds from 15 to 9 it made a huge difference, they’re just barely starting to break in.
