Long Travel BS Thread

just saying

 

Pirate was hit hard with spam bots recently and should have been all cleaned up according to the special automated email notice I got

Why the fuck would you ever put any type of threaded rod end on the lower? I'm speechless

 

Thanks for the link. very cool. Very nice build. would be curious as to the shock valving up front with a 1100 lb wet engine and a 8000 lb truck. Curious why he did not use a TTB setup as opposed to the twin i beam set up. Was that a 4wd truck before ? That dude has a few bucks in that rig, but it looks like he uses it.

 

It was 4x4 before

 

I have no idea on valving but its dialed in. I think 4wd wasn't his main concern. He actually has J-beams due to this happening.





I don't blame Dirt Designs at all it was a really bad landing after tooooonnnns of abuse. It had a solid axel before so yeah it was 4wd.

 

It is a very heavy truck. over 4000 lbs of dead weight on that front end. Who ever did the work, did a nice job. This was the first i had seen of the build thread, but i have seen pictures of the truck previous. I think i remember it raced primm. How did it do ? Is a J arm when the beam and radius arm are one unit ? I would like to go for a ride in it, as i am a 2nd gen ram diesel guy, but that truck is way beyond my KORE kit and a bed cage with 14" 2.5 triple bi pass.
Again, thanks for the link, i enjoyed that build and think that truck is awesome.

 

Just noticed that Gnarlos has over 5 grand in baja designs on x lights on the front of that rig. WTF does this guy do for a living, because i must be doing it all wrong apparently.

 

Here's a throwback since everyone is talking about his truck..

 

Somethin is up with them. When I try to access pirate with my phone(my only means of connecting), it takes me straight to a mobile twitter sign up. Wtfffff

 

TTORA has been having spam bot issues too..

 

On the pirate4x4 Facebook page says to clear the cache and restarting the browser, I've tried this but I'm still not able to access the website. And it was more then just spam bots I guess

Anyone interested in 2nd Gen motor mounts? I'll throw some paint on them as well, PM me an offer.

 

Are you selling parts off your old motor?

 

Once my truck is running I'll decide what to do with the old motor. Either parting it out, selling as is, or keeping it as a spare/build it.

These mounts are from the new motor I bought, someone bought the frame and I kept the hard brake lines and these mounts.

 

Lmfao bahahaha

 

so foxes wont work in a saw?

yes it is

get one from a dealer, dealer only part.
worst comes to worse strap it to the old one with a ratchet strap lol.



got alot done on my truck last night. axles in, just need to put the hub on 1 side, then the tires can go on, carrier bearing, hook up front drive shaft, replace some hoses, not too much left.
super stoked

 

Ya they should. BEarings are the same. That's what matters. If the shock is off, bring it in and we will figure something out one way or another.
