Cal may be an idiot but Richard knows what he's doing. :angel:

I think you have that reversed.......Cal convinced me to be a part of this thing.

I WOULD GUESS.. 150lbs front? and 175-200 rear? Just as a guess. I could be way wrong but hard to say.

I do know that my rockJock front has more clearance then a typ D44 and my 14B rear also has better clerance then a D44, so its all the weight as the MAJOR down side...

The front might be that much heavier, don't think the rear is that much heavier, but I don't know at all. The front C''s and knuckles are much heavier on a D60, especially considering that we're running D30 C's and knuckles.

Our front D44 is a Solid Axle center section with a radiused bottom so it has very good clearance. The rear is an XJ D44 that we haven't taken the time to clearance. We can get a 1/2" off of the bottom if we take the time to do it.

Since the Reno Stampede isn't on the schedule anymore we don't know what races will even have rock gardens, besides KOH.

Only you would call JV a rock garden haha :gee: It's nice to have the race in your back yard, eh?

The front Deaver springs aren't in yet, but it's coming together.

Kind of nice to have a water jet handy to make whatever we need. Thanks a ton to Danny (s7tech) for making his shop and equipment available and for all his hours of work on the car.

You are welcome. See you this weekend.

[cal]

no can do. car is actually still at the body shop. i'll be picking ixnayxj up shortly so we can go grab it, he can take photos then.

I hope it's warm this weekend with the sun out so that paint can cure. We'll have to put all the stickers on Sun evening. This car is going to look NICE!

 

[GrimmJeeper]

It should be nice and warm all weekend, weather channel is calling for blue skies in the mid 80s from now to all through next week.

"Cool" and "70" are not synonymous. 70 degrees is summer for this PNW guy.

And that is one reason you're all depressed psychopaths.

For the last few days you've had the heater kicking on at 68*.. I think its going to be a hard shift for you leaving the los angeles basin.
