Sluggo: The 4 banger build

15a, same as the 4wd fuse

then again, maybe some thing in the motor went fubar and that blew the fuse. dunno.

 

Yea who knows..

Start looking for one haha Moab one be fun for you..haha

 

truck is looking good man! you going to moab?

 

remove motor, slide rack, install

perma lock.

i looked at one of those cable actuator kits...600 bucks! WTF. kind of want to make my own but i dont have time

Thanks man!!
oh hell yes

 

Sounds like a pita.

 

it fucking will be.

i thought my stress was done when i fixed the creeper. I still feel like shit is just going wrong left and right, and im just running out of money to fix everything.

Im trucked out for a little while lol. Too much going on right now. Need to fix stuff, not break it.

 

Well....





Sell the bike

Was a waste of money any ways and you spend more time fixing it then riding it. Sell it.

Fix truck


All good.

 

no. well...eh.

Its a blast to ride...and everyone loves it. Its just the same thing. I just need some money to fix it. Im not the type of person who can just give up on something. I will make it fucking work for my own self gratification even if it costs more than i should bother with. I will get that bitch working if it kills me.

and between that and my truck...it slowly is

 

Shake down run could not have gone better! Had a blast with Andy and Rob! Beautiful day! Nothing broke (rob put some trail damage on his 2012) but other than that it went flawlessly.

Except for when I actually tried, I dont think I lifted a tire the entire day
It handled the fast stuff really well, it was an awesome ride. And i saw that the leafs go flat and negative before the shocks bottom out, so there will be no bottoming out of the shock. I will have to bump the axle a bit over 6" from the frame to keep the leafs from going negative, but that wont be too bad. Time to picture whore...im in fucking love with this thing!

 

Holy flex batman

 

Deja vu....

 

Sooo does this mean what I think it means?

 

fucking weird right?!



am i the biggest copy cat in the histroy of tw?

what? now its time for me to sell the truck? probably

 

looks really good Mark!

 

Keep going with it. 37"s/bob/dovetail would be a good start.

Sell the truck? FUCK NO. Hell, I'd cut up my truck before I'd ever sell it.

 

Too late....





Looks good mark!

 

I've been following your build for awhile, very nice job on the rear suspension! Your truck is looking great!

 

Did you grab any pics of the creepers while articulating?

 

Thanks a ton all! I love where the truck is at right now.

Thanks a bunch man! Worth it!!!

I will say though, this was way more involved than the tub. For anyone, in my opinion if you dont think you could handle/would be comfortable with a tub job, dont try this. Not for the casual off roader lol.

Well i think it rides waaay better than my old set up, which was typical TW suspension, 2" AAL and 5100s (had the 6" shackles as well).

Going fast off road, i think it was way softer and smoother. On the road...same thing. Bumps also dont hit nearly as hard as before. I cant think of a single about this set up that did not improve.

The only real picture that shows it is the one I posted of the underside of the truck. they didnt do what silas's did the first time, and thats all im concerned about. It looks like they are doing some good from that picture though.
