Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

and 4.56s....

 

lmao... that would look horrid

 

Crooked

 

Even if a joke you can't paint ARB snorkels. The UV coating it has stops the paint from adhering. ARB even has a letter floating around somewhere about it.

 

finally

 

Is there something else you can do to change the color? I only ask because there's a FJ I always see around here that is colormatched tan to his vehicle.

Woot! I need some 4.56's and a locker or two.

 

you do

 

Yep it looks pretty sweet.

Matt

 

pretty sure mine's just a reflection. grill paint is just as old as the truck, and neither have really faded much.

which is funny, because mine usually looks small next to all the guys with 3'' lifts and 33s. a lot of it in this picture is the rack though. our roof lines and mirrors are very close to being even

shadup!

you too

isn't that called stance or something? thought it was supposed to be cool

a 1/4'' thick coat of professionally sprayed on bedliner maybe

that way even when it doesn't adhere, it's got high enough tensile strength and stays on the snorkle like a sock lol

 

Cross linked polyethylene is a low surface energy plastic, meaning that it essentially will not stick to anything, and nothing will stick to it.

Google "Gougeon co."

They make PEX repair kits and may know how to prep it for paint.

 

You have an S/C and 4.56's. Do you smoke the rear tires all day long?! haha

 

lol... It will def smoke one tire if I hit it....

I also have a 2.85" pulley from URD

she's quick...

 

LOL... I'm only at about 1/2" of lift with these 884s and the armor up front

 

Where's your Trutrac or Locker


I'm all factory under the hood with 4.88's and skinny 33's and I can't even 1 tire fire on pavement I also live at about 5000 ft so that puts a big damper on power...

I'm at or just under 2" of lift up front now and I have 886's... Damn armor. haha And I don't even have a winch...

 

psh, all you tall fellas.

locked and low is the way to go! hah, rhymes AND makes sense. take that rappers.

however i've only got the second half of the rhyme at the moment

 

needs work

 

I'm not a fan of engaging the locker for a burnout...

886s will be next one of these days when I deem the current setup to be invalid for my needs

 

I see where you are coming from, but that's only kind of true depending on what you are doing. For crawling you want height but from tires not lift. The lift is mostly just to fit the taller tires and to add travel in the rear ends case as well as gain a little more clearance.

I didn't mean a burnout per se. Just a better launch. haha Besides the locker is pretty tough. It's only weak point is during engaging.

 

Lift doesn't change how tires will fit. Lift=travel
