Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

I forget whats your suspension set up? in the rear?

 

Get the ARB. The snorkel by far is the hardest mod I have done... and I did it with psutaco85 who has installed 6 now

 

How about you let the OP answer?

 

Cuz his opinion of what him and Ant do are facts..

 

Front I gots Icon extended coilovers. Rear is Bilstein B110 shocks with Dakars and AAL, also a shackle flip. Funny you ask tho, newly added mods and Dakars getting old led me to get some Firestone ride-rite airbags and paired with a daystar cradle this setup still allows you to flex. Installed last weekend with @Wheelspinner. Now I can over pack for overland trips and not be dragging my ass down the road. I put the two air valves in the bed wall near driverside cubby, where my air compressor line is plumbed to. This allows for quick easy adjustment of the air bags depending on the road, trail, or gear weight. Not having a sway bar and the added weight of the tent on the cap along with the overload weight of camp gear, these air bags have added a lot of driving stability as well.

 

Because I have experience and can weigh in on the situation. How many snorkels have you done? 2 airflow and 1 arb for me.

 

the difference is that the ARB is massive, and the Airflow is smaller and cleaner

 

It doesn't matter, this isn't NJBS. Let the OP or tagged parties answer, it wasn't a question for you to answer.

 

Ok next time Ill take the quote else where...

 

@Chux lets go camping

 

I'm actually getting the truck ready for cross country trip next weekend, heading out for 3 weeks.

 

dang man I need to change professions, I can't get off work for that much at once haha. Post pics as service allows!!!

 

Damn, I've been thinking of a 2 year plan to do the same with my truck. Good luck and try to keep us posted!

 

It's easy, get married and call it your honeymoon. But my company doesn't give paid time off, we get a small percentage of additional money every week in our checks that is your sick and vacation time. It works out cuz your not limited to a certain amount of days off, you can take off whenever you want but you gotta pay yourself for missing days. Or just do what my wife did.. put in your two weeks and re-evaluate a career that makes you happy.

 

I'm tempted to do what your wife did, and move and get my masters for free. Working more than living at 24 isn't fun lol. (Work 8 hours, go home, work for 3-4 more hours)

 

Work stops when you leave for the day unless youre studying for a qualification or working towards more pay.

 

@Chux thought you had archive garage shackle flip?

How you liking the b110?

and how come air bags?

 

Not familiar with archive garage, I have 4Xinnovations shackle flip.

I like the B110s, you get more droop than the 5100s. They won't last forever but they cheap enough to replace when they shot.

Air bags because my leaf pack is struggling being a few years old and the extra fuel, water, and gear load I bring on trips is just to much for the leaf pack. It's said Dakars with AAL can hold about 500lbs, the air bags are listed to hold up to 5000lbs.. So with cap, rtt, rear bumper w/ swing out, 2-4gal rotos, 2-5gal Jerry cans, 34" spare, fridge, and newly added drawer system I just built, along with camp gear, I'm stressing out the dakars. I was looking into a new set of leafs when @Wheelspinner sent me a link to these air bags. After a night of research I bought them next day, the whole kit was actually cheaper than new leafs and it was overall exactly what I needed for my overland setup.
