Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

I have greasable shackles from archive garage

 

Rise and grind


Getting ready for paint

 

Just a heads up

 

Yeah... $300 for those is way too much. I’ll say they are far superior over the OEM ones but no way are they worth it at that price...

 

I was in at $150..now I'm out at $150/piece

 

I don’t see the archive shackles listed separate from the hammer hanger kit, how much are just the shackles?

4xinnovations has some, too.

 

ATO has greaseable shackles

 

4xinno owns ATO

 

I see what you mean. If you’re interested I’m sure he can sell you just the shackles. He also offers a $20 discount for tw members.

 

Cool, I was just curious. I’ve been debating what leaf packs I may get later this year.

Nice gonna add that to the list for my BAMF hangers. Good idea

 

You love finding uses for that torch

 

I see you have the Bilstein B110 and the Dakar AAL- I have the same spring setup. My question to do your shackle flip is do you need a limit strap or does our spring setup limit the B110 from full extension? What length break lines did you go with?

 

I’ll let chux answer that for you, but I’ll mention that in my case with b110s and a shackle flip, the springs limited the down travel before the shocks ran out of travel. But the uptravel had to be limited because the compressed length of the shocks was too long. I needed to extend my bump stops.

 

I've got Timbrens - wonder if that'd work. Good to know.

 

It would, uptravel barely needs to be limited.

 

I have timbrens also, but still used a hockey puck mounted to the stike plate as a bump stop extension.

 

Hey man you ever have any issue with too much weight on the camper shell with the RTT? I’ve talked with LEER and they say no more than 200lbs on top of the 100R

 

Dynamic or static?
