Long Travel BS Thread

Whoa what, trans am? What year?


As for battery I ran 3/0 for my batteries and grounded them to frame then grounded motor/body to frame inside engine bay. Easiest way to do it so I took the easy way out. Wired WAY too many boats where you cant do this so I took full advantage.

 

Its a '00 WS6. i had a '71 GTO built to ram air 4 with full exhaust but sold it

 

i would just ground the original ground coming from the motor onto the inner fender wells and then run welding ground wire from the postive cable all the way back to the battery to the bed. then ground the battery to your frame. its worked flawless for me as well.

 

some updates in the build thread

any of yal around the pismo area want to join me out there at some point tomorrow? i have not been to the dunes in over 10years and this is the first time ill be out in a truck.

or could yal suggest what area of the dunes to go too? not looking to huck my truck, just a whoop section and dicking around in the sand and what not.

 

can anyone confirm this or add to it? no one has some upper control arm bushing laying around to measure? lol im trying to get them these measurements tonight

 

I pieced mine together for about $300 from my local welding shop. The high grade regulator and high PSI hose were the hardest to find. You can pick up a nice nitro gauge from Kartek for around $80. So grand total around $380.

 

This regulator is all you need. Bottle should only be 125$

 

Thats the one i have

 

Make your YouTube available on mobile!!! I hate being out of town and not being able to watch anything that you guys post.

 

here's a reminder that your cage, should you ever need it, should be built strong enough to take something like this.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! Talk about gymkhana!

Drydek's chevy flip was fucking awesome.

 

So I called around to all the motorcycle shops in the area, only one has a nitrogen set up, and they're out of gas. I have a narrow window to get work done in when I'm home so I can't rely on a shop that doesn't keep it on hand. I'm stationed in Missouri, so no one here even understands what you mean when you say "i have a set of bypass shocks I need to charge". In their minds, you just slap as many Rancho shocks as you can fit on the axle and call it good.

So... what sorts of places are you all getting your nitrogen tanks filled out? Would a SCUBA shop have that sort of thing?

Sorry for the constant questions, but my access to phones is more limited than access to computers.

 

Scuba or a Paintball store will both have Nitro and should have a regulator that can handle it.

 

Any local welding supply store should have nitrogen tanks

 

Also if you know anyone who works in Aviation, you may be able to get someone to hook you up. Also if there is a local airport call up some of the maintenance shops. Im sure some of them are slow and can help you out.

 

Fill it with shop air, fuck nitrogen.

 

hahahaahah

 

that's whats up
