Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Never be a bolt in option. Already in jeep Cherokee I think..

Not sure I'd want it. More electronics..

 

I'm not totally familiar with exactly how they function. But all the wiring need to drive the electromagnets and such would put off a lot of people I feel like. Just me.

Aren't they bigger then normal shocks too?

 

wait. the light god himself doesn't want more electronics?

 

I would think that wiring wouldn't be any more complicated than a central hub with 4 wiring harnesses to go to each shock

 

you could likely pair it up front pair and rear pair on two potentiometers and bamo you have a controlled voltage to electro magnet.

 

Ride dependent electronics I suppose.

Ah gotcha.

Well. Idk. Could be interesting.

 

I tought I'd share this with you guys. The definition of well loved. Has the epic written all over it.

 

hell ya!

Im dying to see my skids close up. haha

 

I've been on a mission since its been so nice here for the last few days. High of 84* today.

Working through all the surface rust on the skids and sliders. Using a wire wheel in a 4" grinder. Clean everything up and repaint so she looks purty again.

 

been chilly here. was 70-80 for like 2 weeks. and then...bam..50 haha was odd.

in a week though WYOMING!! then ill be painting stuff my sliders are MAJORLY over due haha probably skids too..and frank needs a bath super bad. And interior put back together from tub job.

 

What day do you figure on getting home?

Hell Yeah, get to work on your truck again.

 

got me thinking. instead of bolting that sucker to the axle, what about just welding a skid plate to the bottom of it? Might sit up a hair higher too.







also, might have found myself a nice gal
She agreed to come wheeling with my next weekend...
and actually loves out doors shit
And is rather cute

 

Does she look like this?

 

They do make them that way too (not BAMF) but then you'd have to have a hole in them for the drain plugs.

You are correct tho, The one does reduce ground clearance just a bit. Probably why there are so many marks on it.

 

May 11th i should be home that evening. Get a week till i have to start my summer job to hang with my dad and work on trucks! Got a shit load to do.

Blue Torch Fab makes a weld on diff cover. Its for the rear half. THe toyota housing on the bottom is pretty damn stout as it is. its the rear section that is super weak. I dented mine in two places. the BAMF one helps cover the full diff though. Is pretty damn handy to have and not worry about the diff at all.

 

straight off her fb page

bleh, ill make my own. shape some pieces of metal and weld them together at angles to make a bowl shape then attach to axle. done

 

Her name is Manuela

 

Dude I'm with you. This would be totally cool and workable from a wiring aspect. +1

 

ben you make those shocks and ill synthesize healthy bacon

we'll rule the world

 

lets steal the ones in grandpas camaro and fit em to yours
