JLee's Build

So what, your trucks is a scorpion now Jerry?

Pretty interesting idea sir.

 

I got all the welding done on the rack over the weekend blasted and powder coated it. The tire swing up is still not done yet I just wanted to powder coat the rack so it didn't look like shit rusting away on my truck.

 

What is that swing out for

 

derps on crotch rockets

 

I have a frame that bolts into the rack these swing out so i can load bins and other stuff in.

And this

 

DD. Traffic has sucked up that way the last few days

 

It's a customers we are doing fenders, All new body panels, Wind shield, Skid plates and a few other odds and ends.

 

Damn Jerry, ur truck is tits! But I'm sure you already know that

 

Damn fine work jerry.

 

I just noticed the gas shocks. Very nice idea.

 

Yeah I used the 90lb shocks there seeing how they dont do crap for the tire swing up. I did pull out one of the ends on the shock when I opened the the side the weight was just too much for the plastic cap it pulled the threads right out. I ordered some steel caps so I dont do that again.

 

It's a brilliant idea.

 

dang i like that rotopax swing out idea!

 

hey Jerry!!! Hope christmas and new years was good to you and your family

I got some questions for yah now though

I have been running CO2 for a bit now but since switching to large tires it doesnt cut it, I have to fill the tank after 8 tires @ 35x12.5x16 when airing up from 15 to 40...... I am only running a 10lb bottle, I could go to a 20lb bottle but its not really an upgrade when running my 37's.... on to my question now

What kind of life are you getting out of your nitrogen set-up?? Do you make dent when filling?? What size of bottle are you using?? I know my CO2 bottle is rated to handle nitrogen so it would just be a regulator change, now I know I have more room switching to a larger tank as I have a TON more interior space and can just hide it in a drawer

 

C02 has more volume then the N2 you will have less for the tires. I have a 20lb tank of C02 and I still havent wheeled the truck enough to even use the bottle. To me with 37's plus C02 is a must I could care less about needing to swap it out often. Its much faster then OBA.

 

i think the CO2 supplier im getting doesnt quite the bottles correctly.... Im not sure what to do, its annoying as 7 to 8 tires doesnt quite cut for me...... i might just have to buck up and set up my own filling station at home, i think initial set-up with the pump is like 3k with initial dual bottles

I also dont think my -20 to -40 weather helps....

 

Unless your filling tires every day the filling station might be a little much. I have it good I get gas really cheap 15 bucks for a 20 lb tank.

 

yah seeeeeee the place I currently fill at is a pot dealer.... not a place I like to be caught at much when there are hydroponics everywhere, and its 40 clicks across town to get to him


I see it as get myself 2 or 3 50 lbs bottles and fill mine and buddies bottles when needed and top up some paintball catridges for a premium to make my money back hahahaha

 

I get a bunch of people asking me how much bigger my truck is compared to a 3" lift so here it is.

The truck on the left has 5100's and eibach coils and AllPro expos in the rear on 33'x12.50's.
My truck is sitting 23.5" at the frame on 37's
