cambered.

for left hand turns only. NASCAR XJ?

Both sides. We just turn harder to the left. I think it has to do with my being fatter than Richard.

hmm. we're now the third most posted thread in mod tech, and will be taking second place pretty soon.

Can we delete the other two?

Rough Country and the E-Code headlight thread?

No clue. I'd guess in the mid 4000's, plus the weight of fuel.

As soon as it gets back up here I'll go weigh it. A scale is down the street. Well, maybe after it gets a new rear axle installed.

 

[Vanimal]

come on, where's your sense of adventure?
mid 4k isnt too bad considering the extent of the cage, tires, etc.

When will it be back up here, Richard???

Looks like Apr 7. The rear end is currently at the shop getting the ends put on.

When you decided to go with the 44's, was cost a driving factor, or weight? Did you originally worry about housing strength? I bent my front axle doing what I thought was " mild" trail riding, despite the advise of others. Just curious if your team experienced a similar fate?

We were going to run on a d30/d44 setup for a few reasons.. we already had them, they were stuffed with the best guts you could put into them, and we want to keep it light.

The stuff to build a front 44 just fell into our lap (thanks for a few AMAZING sponsors - Yukon and Solid Axles). We used the inner axles, and complete outer setups, from the d30 and just had to build a quick housing.

We were worried about the rear 44 housing, it needed a better truss.. we just did not have enough time to do it. We *barely* made it to king of the hammers as it was..

We have to meet up next time so we can party :viking:

Well after some badly needed downtime, boxes of parts are starting to pile up in my living room again...

 

[Vanimal]

lemme know if you need a hand or some machining.

It took me all day, during little spots of down time at work, but I read through this whole thread. I wish I would have read it sooner. Cal, Richard, Ixnayxj, Russ, s7tech, and everyone else involved, great build. When I had found out you guys didnt get to finish KOH I was sad. Can't always be winners. For those of you who havent seen this thing in person, I must say, it is awesome. Awhile back, Cal let me take a look at it and ask all the questions I could. Best part about it.....You get a woody when it fires up.

The case that's strapped down behind the fuel cell is a Ready Welder.

I didn't notice the ready welder comment until right now, I was going to ask if it was an electric impact wrench. I always carry one with me when we go out wheeling.

What brand containers are these?

Nice smiley haha
