Cynicalriders "J0hnny5 is ALIVE!" 01 build thread.

Thanks Jon. That is helpful. The one I'm looking at is from a parts truck a friend has.

 

I really wish we had more Yota's in ours. Only American vehicles in the ones near me.

 

There's some up in Douglasville area - that's about as close as I've found.

 

I gotta check it out. Ant has found a couple down by him too because he's always scoring parts.

 

These will be going on Sunday.

 

Spray the piss out of em with a clear coat or something similar. They rust fast

 

Good to know!

 

Wish I had known this prior to install. It was like a week and I could already see rust

 

Shitty part is I never got to do it before I installed. Will do it before I take it wheeling though.

Got them in on Sunday with the help of @planters15, so much rake!

Test flex:




I gotta run up a ramp to test and make sure bump stops are good length.

Full setup is OME Dakars, greasable main eye bolts, daystar greasable 1.25" lift shackles, 9" travel 5125's, all pro axle relocation plates, bamf bpv bracket, and wheeler's super bumps.

 

Also how do most people figure out what height to set the BPV bracket to?

 

Looks good! How was getting that front bolt out? I'd assume easy seeing you had a frame replacement. As for the BPV I think I just put it at what others have. There is a way to do it but meh not worth it IMO.

 

Where is where others have? lol

 

I've got it mounted to the bottom 2 holes and then the BPV is mounted to the top 2

 

Of the big Bamf mount? I have the big one.

 

Oh damn, I've got the smaller one. So maybe have 2 holes showing on the top

 

I'll take a pic of mine when I get home from work later, I know I have to be on the bottom two holes because of my diff cover.

 

Curious to know this as well. I might just make my own bracket with a bunch if holes and try to dial it in.

 

I am assuming move it down for more rear brake, up for less, correct? Since it would go down with weight in the bed?

 

You guys might consider doing away with that rod actuated valve. It's prolly not working anyway, or at least not as well as it should. Mine was not working at all when I removed it.
This little manually adjustable valve is working great.
