Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

those are the quick disconnects you posted in your build?

like i ws telling you when we installed it, the connection at the diff itself is your biggest area of concern. other than having that spring on there, there isn't much else you can do. it will iundergo a lot of movement simply becuase your axle never tays still, even on the road. i'd just add that to the pre/post wheeling checklist of things to inspect.

 

That's the plan. I picked up spare parts as well, including springs, and will keep those in the bag. Once I get this thing setup full pneumatic I'll be able to purge the lines as well.

Oh, the compressor is now bolted into the truck. I'll get it wired and the rear locker hooked up tonight.

 

best practice would be to leave enough slack to be able to cut out a couple inches on the diff end if a crack developes, as well as carrying the hardware needed to cut and splice, should a crack or kink develope in the middle of the line. CO2 purge would be awesome! get that moisture all out of the lines!

 

I picked up a handful of these for line repair on the trail.

 

Perfect!

 

Source?

 

Fastenal

5mm push-to-connect unions

5mm push-to-connect elbows

5mm push-to-connect swivel elbow with 1/8 BPST male

I'll be using the swivel as the main source out of the ARB compressor.

 

To put it simply, Seafoam is an abrasive. Don't use it, unless you want to score your entire engine.

The Redline Fuel System cleaner is one of the best on the market, for commercial purchase. Factory required by Lamborghini, in there service intervals. Extremely concentrated.

5mm union link doesn't work :shrug:

 

I think this is what the link was supposed to take you to

Brady, I couldn't get that damn link to work. I'll copy your link to the thread I created in the offroading forum. Thanks!

 

New thread for the fittings

My comment was on something totally different, lol not the seafoam.

Good info though.

 

Yeah took me a couple tries to get a link that worked. haha

 

How often do you use that?

 

I've only used it once. Not sure what the service interval should be though.

 

Just starting on my build




Might get a little light rack for the top after I get back from deployment next month and get that extra money
