Blackhawke88's Build/Photo Thread

Have faith bro. Good work is never fast and fast work is never good. If you dont like the finished product then thats another story.

 

wise words. My priorities for Engage right now is just to get the suspension done before Lucerne. Then Ima drop it back off and let them do all the other shit like tire carrier, roof light rack, etc.

Engage is really good about fixing shit if it breaks so i have no problems taking it straight outta their shop and romping on it

 

For Sure ive broken a few things (all toyota parts) Hass has always fixed them. I saw your truck up there last week. Nice

 

post up some pics of the bedcage and the new shit they did to the front end!

stop lagging!

 

nice build dude. i been reading since page 1 and its coming along great. so your waiting for your truck from engage right now or did you already get the rear end end done. also what are your travel numbers up front and y arent u running 35s.

 

some pics from today of shit and carnage....I fucking love my truck, my rear end is tits over even the worst whoops, now my front is having trouble keeping up time for triples up front??

 

^looks good

 

Triples up front? I think so.

 

Any videos?

 

yes, i need to do a simple edit and throw them up. I dont have any video editors except for shitty free ones and my Windows Movie Maker doesnt work =/

 

Engage didnt have time to gusset them before the meet, im taking her back to their shop next week to finish everything off. The rear cage isnt even painted lol i might just do that myself

 

Sweet! I want to see how smooth this thing humps the wheels at speed.

 

Thanks for the new wallpaper...

 

did you get new lower arms and CO's?

did you have any leafs removed from the 50T pack?

 

nice! haha that pic came out pretty well for a wallpaper

I didnt get anything new in the front except for longer rod ends and relocating the lower shock mounts outwards. I didnt have any leafs removed from the 50T pack.

 

it looks great, do you have any pictures of the cage?

 

Aaron, one way to avoid having to use that bungee is to turn your limit strap tabs the other way so that your limit straps follow the frame rails and dont bend in/out.

Tim at DMZ told me about it so we welded in the tabs that way this time around. Its not like it affects performance but it makes life easier.

 

X2 I want to see the cage work too.

Can you measure a few things for me so I can get a better idea of 50T ride height.

-Frame rail to bump pad on axle.

-Bottom of rear fenderwell to ground.

 

I'll do that when i get back to LA next week. Here is a video of part of the race course:
