+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

x2 red coils match the red bushings

 

Haha but they are so toasted! They ride smoother on road tho... Can't wait to revalve the K's and get DAT lumber wagon ride back lol

 

Lumber wagon ride?

And have you thought of adding the dials for compression change?

 

Yea I like having the comp for going fast in the dirt but even with a flutter in there its still tough... Plus the derlin its rough...

 

So maybe the dials??

 

Not sure if I can do that easily... Plus the simpler I can keep it the better imo. Just doesnt interest me that much with how I DD the truck and how much salt/road garbage it see's, doesn't need more opportunity to leak/break.

 

I'm not sure what you'd have to do but you just add them to the resis.

I'd think they'd be better for a dd/weekend warrior..

 

I'll ask about em when I finalize the rebuild/revalve order.

 

Then you'll want em for the rear

 

Rebuild update. All looks good, no cracked shims yet but I haven't pulled the stacks off yet so it's still possible. The video does a good job showing how nasty the oil had gotten in 40,000 miles.

haha "hope everything is ok in there"

 

everything important is ok

 

I accidentally un-subbed. And was like hmm haven't seen much lately. Jokes on me. Haha

That shock oil looked nasty, just like mine did! Lol

 

haha, few things happening in here.

You had a whole bunch of miles on yours too didn't you? I think all the black comes from the seals and that rubber stopper in there. Or just dirt getting by the wiper seals?

Gonna be doing a full rebuild and turning them into extended travel shocks as well as a rebuild with more reb and a bit more comp. Super pumped to have fresh shocks and valving under me in the next week or so!

Speaking of seeing much lately, I havn't dropped into your thread lately I dont think...Hows your rig doing?

 

About 45k when i rebuilt, agreed think its from worn out rubber bushings.

It's doing good! Havent had time to wheel or work on it, but i keep it clean

 

Ehh life happens right. My truck is about to take a back seat big time seeing as the Mrs and I are about to be home owners

 

Nice man!!

 

Good to see you guys are forever staying in Wyoming.

 

woa woa woa, easy with the forever word haha. Gonna be in Lander Super pumped and will be like 10 min or less from Shoshone trailhead!

 

Your staying. You just don't know it yet haha
