The Drifter - Specs and FAQ

You could use the bolts on the door to mount accessories (maxtrax/axe/shovel outside, molle inside).

 

This might be part of a solution for the in demand barn doors/hatch solution.

 

All windoors should be modelled off of these! They are the windoor all other doors should be meausred against!!

 

Doesn't the term "windoor" imply that it be a window? The front runner isn't a window, so to me it's a hatch.

 

They do make one that is glass instead of aluminum as well. I debated going that route for a while but decided on the solid door instead. Someone a page back or so was ordering it with the glass front runner doors though.

I shot Phil a note last night and he said mine was in work expected 1-2 weeks for pickup. I am taking the front runner glass window hatches so we should have an example soon.

 

Ah, okay, I had only seen the aluminum one.

 

Yes but all doors should be made like these ones they are rugged and constructed very well.

 

I agree, they are super nice. I was just being pedantic about use of terms, and didn't know there was a front runner windoor in addition to the aluminum hatch.

 

Nice word

 

One of my favorites, along with heathen. Maybe because I'm a pedantic heathen...

 

I’d prefer to be referred to as a hedonistic peagan...

 

Just heard this word recently:

Deleterious

Means- causing harm.

Word of the day. The more you know!

 

Does this mean a “Word of the Day” Thread has a shot in the NorCal section?

 

Don't go tryin' to class-up the joint.

 

Agreed! If word of the day happens, I’m going to have to start dbl checking posts on my phone for spelling errors and using proper grammer, or I’ll just start posting up random equations for different enginnering applications.

 

Update on ome bp-51’s and OME Hd leaf pack with an extra AAL.

So the shocks have performed very well to date about 2 wks with the camper on the back. No complaints. Need to figure out the compression and rebound on the rear shocks to dial it in for the camper think that’ll be in the range of 6-8 for both compression and rebound as I get a bit of rocking back and forth from time to time.

The OME HD leaf pack with an additional add a leaf as recommended by ARB’s tech dept for this weight, well it has w shaped and sagged about 2”. The HD pack is good for 660lbs constant load and the Extra AAL is suppose to add an additional 100-150lbs. Not overly impressed with this and have an email out to ARB and the dealer is chasing this as well. With full load out for camping I am sitting at just below 750lbs fully loaded and I believe I am being generous here after I add everything up (sliders, rear bumper, fuel, camper, storage, tools, camping gear, fridge, etc) even still if I am over this it is not by much and i was trying to be generous in the weights. The springs are designed to handle this constant weight in the truck, hence why i upgraded. This is the second set i have hd do this(forst bsing ironman, ome the second). My stock leafs never w shaped they just inverted. Haha. .

When we installed the camper, the truck barely squatted, I was watching and did a rough measurement, it may have gone down 1/2”. The last few weeks i did think my truck was sitting lower the last few weeks as I typically measure the hap btw the ture and body using my hands to see where it atands. I’m pretty sure it sagged with just the decked and rear bumper on the truck which is well below the weight rating.

Once I get this sorted out with ARB, not forseeing an issue as i have a pretty good relationship with them. Whats the next step as these leaf springs are obviously not what they use to be.

-air bags?
-deavers?
-buy an f350?
-lose weight? Already debating getting ride of the arb summit bumper fkr a cbi one that is lighter. Thinking of getting ride of the decked hut i have grown to like it.

 

Buy Deavers.

 

Yeah probably the route I’m going to have to go. Any rec’s on what ines? Haven’t looked at their site or contacted anyone.

 

U402s. Either Stage II or III. Probably III from what you’re saying. Or call Scott and get a custom set made.
