NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

Looks great Bob!

 

Never seen so much info with so little words

 

Hahahahaahahahahah!

 

measured this morning

 

thank you! your turn

it is not the size of the words that matters it is how you use them

 

Looks sweet Bob!!

 

Little more progress today.

Had to trim a bit more.


And installed flush mount LEDs so I can see backing up. I should have gotten recessed light from cbi but I spaced on that when ordering. So this was my solution.

 

Those should be close enough to the shackle mounts that they won't likely come into contact with many rocks

 

Those LED's are pretty sweet. I need to replace the old incandescent back up lighst I have but I have the recessed holes in the plate so would need to find something that fits.

 

I like the super-deluxe zip-tie mounting system too!

 

So took it out to my rock to see how they fit.


And I need a date with the BFH




But everything flexes and stuffs well. Just needs love to turn on stuff.





With the new shackle setup

 

Looks good. I really like those wheels might just have to get a set.

 

Bob that setup is working very well. Nicely done man!

 

how bad do they rub? bfh will take care of it? i love using the bfh

 

driving i'm good now... in reverse full lock i can still touch a small bit of the cab mount..but full lock forward so far seems fine.

issue comes on compression..straight is fine and even slight turn...but any further turning, i hit the pinch weld area... so i'll need to beat that back a bit or see if a slight caster increase will help push it out a tad

 

but i am loving how she flexes now with the new C/Os, LCAs, leafs and shackle setups..so smooth up front, and the rear is getting some great travel..

 

what shackle did u go to in the rear?

 

went to the defined stock length that i had hanging around and used the spare ATO mount i had which moved the upper mount back for longer leafs...the BOSS leafs, even though they're only a 2" lift, they are longer than the Dakars..

the XJ shackles allowed for full extension of the shocks, which i didn't have with the Dakar pack and factory shackles...but they were not getting full motion...






so the switch was done to try and get full motion out of the shackle...and i'm still able to max out my shock extension...so i dropped slightly in the rear which puts my leafs in less neg. arch on compression, and i'm still able to drop the tire as far as i did with the XJ





and i get full motion from the shackle ^
