I like the new plate.

great pics, some really nice rigs...

BrettM · Jun 13, 2006

works for me, thanks for postin. the links and C/Os look great, but I can see how the coils were too light, they look DINKY!

did Paul drop the front of his hood down? the angle looks interesting

No on the hood, but it sure looks like it, we noticed the same this past weekend. It's because I don't have a windshield & therefore mounted the horizonal tube higher up the A pillar to tie it into the top of the hood/dash, etc., which also meant that it's a little lower on the front of the hood.

nice pics and so many shiny rims! Ron, you needed to have cracker attached to your passenger side to prevent the damage just like at BOTW You know how fat that bastage is getting these days.

Mike L · Jun 14, 2006

Nice pic showing the front working better than i thought:

Maybe you need to clean the camera lense? :shocked:

Damn Dave, your rig isn't as ugly as it used to be.

Mine took its place

Looks real good

Captain Ron · Jun 14, 2006

Some nice shots Dave. I forgot my camera at camp.

Are you happy with your rear link numbers?

It felt good on the trail. I didn't like the fall at all this time. Not sure if it was the soft springs. no overhang to stop going over backwards or to much flex.
New springs are on the way so hopefully that will help.

I'm starting to think the links and flex allow the rear to walk under the CG faster, as opposed to leafs, which seem to pull the chassis along to a certain extent at that angle.

It would be interesting to have put a limit strap on your rear and tried it again right away.

IIRC he had a center limit strap in the rear.

Add in some more AS? Leafs aren't neutral so why should links be?

I only put it on at the top for the ride down.

Rawbrown · Jun 15, 2006

Just now looking at the pics... I think I figured out why Ron fell back... not enough weight up front. AS its missing the heavy duty Crane Diff cover....
yup, I'm sure of it, thats why he flopped.:gee:

BrettM · Jun 15, 2006

throw a couple hundred pounds of water in the front tires and I bet it will walk it. that is if the alloys can take it. oh, and if you like driving 10mph from the lakebed to the trail.

Dave, you're rig is looking sweet. Nice pictures. I dig the new dovetailing in the back. Nice high-clearance engineering. It was too much of a brick before. I think I even like it better then Paul's

.

All you need now is some hand scews attatching some colored/tinted lexan/polycarb to finish it off. Like the Poison Spyder rigs...
