Sluggo: The 4 banger build

good question.

no idea really. The thing changed so much i cant tell what attributed to the change. im pretty oblivious though, so if it did change due to them I cant tell. Over all it rides way better at least.

 

You should just do this...

 

That would be my ideal truck really! Hit the nail on the head there!

Looks like the wheel base has been shortened and moved forward, so approach angle is basicially 90 (exactly what I want) with an exo cage and a flat bed/tube bed which is what I guess is what it will turn into when the bed is a destroyed mess.

There's not a build thread or any more info in it is there?

But ya. That's exactly what I want
Oh ya, plus boat speakers on the bed cage. Because party

 

ass end doesn't seem to sway all over the place?

 

Not really. The shocks do a very good job at keeping it under control. My buddy was behind me and I took a couple turns into my neighborhood pretty fast and he was surprised, said it didn't really pitch a lot, stayed relatively flat for what it is.

 

You should set your go pro up to watch your creepers and try it again. I'm curious how much they move since in your flex pics they didn't seem to move as much as Silas's either.

 

will do! Ill try to put it under the truck

 

Nope, just a random pic I found on Facebook...

 

Ever figure out the shackle issues?

 

yep! Got em moved back an inch and they are perfect now!

 

Remove door

cut pin, eject pin, insert new pin, bolt hinge back to door



Boom, 10x more fun. Just like that.



I got bolts and nuts, because I figured i could tighten them and keep a more snug feeling on the door. but its a massive pita getting those bolts tight because there is less room than I thought. So i will probably end up just getting clevis pins.

 

Tewb doors next? Anymore cutting on the vehicle and you will end up like 45acp

 

tweb doors when I find an extra set of hinges. This shit is just too much fun not to run them


and no, never. The body and interior are staying in tact on the frame. Engine stays in place, tranny stays in place. The cage will go over the cab not all through it lol.

 

i like the bird bath on the front

 

like that touch? If i ever need to carry fire wood, or rocks, or the state of rhode island I just slip it in there and away I go. Its not water tight enough for birds sadly

 

That's too bad... I need another project build to follow next winter haha. How did you deal with the wire loom running through the door?

 

It unplugs from the harness right behind the kick panel. then come right out of the door. thats the easiest part lol

 

That was something I was considering doing this summer, how would you rate it from 1-10?

 

rate what?

taking the doors off?

difficulty is a rating of 1 and fucking rad rating is an 11


it took all of an hour. an we drove around for a little while before it put em back on

 

That's awesome, I have a feeling it will make coyote and rabbit hunting a lot more fun...
