That's awesome!

I'm interested to see if you notice a difference out on the trails.
Hopefully I’ll be able to find out at reject run. I currently have a front shock on the way to Nevada and need to fix some rear suspension stuff after sliding into a tree at 30mph this weekend. But the goal is reject run at the end of the month!

The rear springs was a night and day difference, especially going across fields at 60mph. Hoping for the same change with my steering.

You basically doubled the flow. I suppose going to far would not be good either?
Psc pump is .172 and they recommend drilling to .190 if you need a little more. I have the fitting off my 6.0 hydroboost pump that is .168 or so, so I figured if the .190 on my stock pump is too much I’ll swap to my other fitting to choke it back down. The only thing I need to pay attention to is making sure the pump doesn’t suck dry at high rpm, other than that I should be good.

I'm planning on Reject Run this year...first time for me in like 3 years

This will be the first time in 4 years I’ve had my own vehicle there, I’ve been taking adams X3 the last few years. I just hope I get my shock back in time, that’s my only concern right now.

Yesterday our welding supply rep at work hooked me up with a nitrogen bottle and regulator for only $90 so I can charge my shocks. What hose and no loss manifold is everyone using?

Good news and bad news.

The good news is that the shock had no damage, just had a weird issue with the ifp sitting on the nitro cap. Phil isn’t sure if it was something I did or if radflo made a mistake on assembly, but everything was fixed for free other than me having to pay shipping so it’s whatever. Should be good to go for rejects.

The bad news is that I need to fix my rear suspension mounts. I absolutely smoked a tree with my rear axle while taking the family for hot rod rides through the woods last weekend...bent multiple mounts and axle is a few inches off center.

More good news is that I finally ran a natural gas line to my garage so I can hook the furnace up, I did all the math on heating with my kerosene heater vs natural gas and it almost made me sick how much money I’m wasting on BTU/$ by using kerosene. Lol.

More bad news is the fawking line is 5’ short of what I need, so I’ll have to go to the store and get some black pipe to finish plumbing it.

Hows everyone else’s Saturday night going?

I think so. I got all new mounts cut out, welded up, and welded onto the Jeep. Also cut a bunch of gussets at work so I can stop it from happening on all my other mounts too. I also acquired a water-resistant roll cage mount for my terminator X hand held.

Who all is going to reject run this weekend? Who’s staying the night?

I’ve had a shit show at work this week, but luckily I’ve had my wife and one of my buddies helping me get everything welded out and half assed prepped. I wasn’t able to do near the work I wanted to because of my work schedule, but I should be able to at least wheel the weekend. Wiring and painting hopefully in the next month or so before before the hill climb.

Unfortunately basically the only pics from this weekend are when I found the single mud hole and got stuck. But this weekend was a blast like always. My best friend from college, Adam, got to put some seat time in as well behind the wheel of the Jeep which was neat. The last few years I’ve been taking his X3 to reject run but finally I was able to get my Jeep there, unfortunately his X3 broke when he was pulling it off the trailer. The Jeep performed great, only “break” was losing an exhaust clamp and exhaust pipes coming disconnected.
