Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

Ok, so far I have axles and wheels. This morning I went and picked up some Maxxis 40s for a good deal. There is another one on the other side if those. Next will be gears/lockers and then a daily driver. Still hoping to start this fall.

 

Alright someone's gotta be available for some wheeling. Prefer sand hollow but thinking of making another trip to Moab for a few days between may 20-25. Maybe a few more days depending on where. Anyone? Or any other wheeling place really. Let me know

 

Where’s most get brake lines made at? I had my front made by crown performance. They’re kinda expensive. No one around me makes them or sells the parts to do them myself.

 

Try Pegasus Racing, just had one built yesterday and awaiting it's arrival. Their website has a great brake line 'builder'. BTW, #3 is the hose to choose for brake line (it's the 1st thing you choose on the builder).

Thanks. Looking to get some rear lines made just want try try a different company. I called a few companies the other day (can’t recall all the places I called) some was asses and didn’t want to answer my questions haha.

 

I edited my post above too btw.. Talked to Bob from Pegasus yesterday, very cool, knowledgeable and didn't mind answering anything I asked.

 

i just ordered fittings and An #3 line from Poly performance i think i was like $140 into brake lines

 

@snowsk8air2 werent you just talking about going to moab?

 

I'll be in Moab the 23-25 arriving late on the 23rd. Think we are running the trifecta Thursday and metal masher Friday

 

I got my lines from Pegasus also.

 

Might get some (yo why be stupid looks) haha but, what’s everyone’s opinions on welded diffs? I’ve got grizzly lockers that are going in when I do gears in July. This is just going to be a trail rig so I don’t really see anything really wrong with it but, I’ve also not ever had it done.

 

No reason not to

 

Sweet thanks. I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ll do then for the time being.

 

Welded will hurt the turning radius some and if you aren’t hydro, make it tough to steer

 

Could just go with spools. That's what I did, pretty cheap and probably stronger than the welding.

 

applied to go compete in Truck nights in America. got a call back within 2 hours and did the second to steps to being able to go now just waiting on the final decision.

 

I've been wondering what the process is to get on there.

 

First step you applied on line then they call you with instructions for another online application then a Skype interview and the send all that off to the producers who pic 50 trucks for season two.

 

gotcha, I'm gonna apply, why not.

 

They do require a five point harness and an internal or external safety cage
