I LOVE TRIPLE STICKS!!

 

They're pretty cool. I'll post more pics when I close the holes back up. I want to make a red leather boot to finish it off.

 

how did you mod your tranny tunnel?

 

I cut and then pounded with a hammer til it fit.

 

I had a friend cut a big hole and make like a removable cover. It was nice, but took him forever!

 

You can see in the pics where I widened the shifter hole, then I cut a hole for the rear shifter assembly to poke through. I had to beat the sides of the tunnel for the linkage to operate. I'll form some sheet and probably screw it down and seal the rear hole.

On the last rig, I cut the shit out of the tunnel and cut rubber matting to cover the hole temporarily but never got around to making a cover.

 

Are your cases clocked at all?

 

No, I have the trail gear adapter and crossmember.

 

Would you recommend clocking them?

Marlin has their extreme duty adapter on sale for $299 & I already have two cases at home! I'm so temped

 

Gotcha, I've been meaning to ask for a while. Trying to figure out what's next for me. A guy offered to trade his 4 linked 85 truggy for my pickup yesterday but idk. He wants a more streetable rig and that's one of the things I like about mine.

It depends on what you want. Clocking allows for a flat belly but you have to cut your tranny tunnel out and remake it.

 

That is a good price, but I think I personally would do a drivetrain lift with a bud built crossmember. If you clock the case, you will HAVE to build a crossmember, or use a FROR style mount which I am not a fan of.

 

I may build a crossmember anyways. We'll see I guess.. A flat belly would be nice, but a nice smooth skid plate/crossmember to slide across is better than that stock crossmember that hangs down. I may just go with the regular one..

 

Drilling the P.S. pump restrictor plate.

I'm going to run the stock pump with hydro assist for the time being, but will drill out the restrictor plate to hopefully give enough flow for the ram. The procedure is pretty simple, I'm just going to show what I am drilling.

On the side of the pump is the feed line on top, and the pressure line on the bottom. I unbolted the pressure line from the restrictor with a 17mm wrench.


Then I unbolted the restrictor from the pump with a 1 1/16" wrench, being careful not to let the bypass spring and ball pop out.




I'll take it to work tomorrow and drill the restrictor out to 13/64 in a press. Like I said, it's pretty simple.

 

Oh and one of my early Xmas presents showed up

 

Mine have held up well. I've dinged up both sides nicely.

 

You have addicted sliders? I feel the 4xinno is the best deal with the frame plates and gussets, and I like the kickout.

Dese showed up today. Rock lights, and the 20" bar is fer the Taco.

 

Yeah the 67"s...are those not from Addicted? They look just like mine.

 

Nah dems from 4xinnovations foo

 

Haha damn they look very similar to mine.

I haven't driven my truck in over a month

 

I tried to install marlin's heavy duty knuckle gussets yesterday, but they didn't fit worth a shit even after a lot of grinding . I threw them in the scrap pile and ordered TG's kit.
