CTM shafts and joints. Those or the Yukon hardcore USA stuff. Hope it was a good time. Looking forward to video. :thumb:

 

It was :beerbang:

I was even doing 60 mph on the roads er I mean trails :teehee:.


I can't get over how stable it is, side hilling, vertical climbs, and vertical decents, how smooth over rocks and bumps. Them ori's are fawking awesome :woot:

 

I drove it but didn't break it, that thing is bad ass!!!

 

proof :sonicjay:

 

The video is private

 

work now?

 

Yep!

 

 

375 miles Wednesday and 356 today. Averaged 9 mpg on weds. I think I got a little better then that today, but need to double check. Averaged 69 mph on mostly highway driving. Not to bad considering its a giant box going down the road and has a v10 and 4.56 gears with no cruise control.

Hows was the ride in that passenger seat :finger:


Its swayed a bit. It has 3 fake shocks on it and one good one in the rf. Hoping some new shocks will improve the ride. Might add some air bags as well. But it didn't ride horrible. Felt alot like my old crewcab with the camper on the back.

Now that I know it fits, and works, time to get some stuff done on it and start making better improvements to it.

100% better than no ride at all:thumb:

 

I have a pair of those airbag seats or whatever you want to call them that Daystar gave out at snofari. Let me know if you put bags under it and you can have them if they will work for what you are doing.

 

Bags for the rear suspension :teehee:

 

Ps... My old man needs his CB and antenna out of the explorer, and he is missing a camo ratchet strap if you come across one:thumb:

 

Thanks again for letting me drive the buggy John :thumb:

 

Already in the explorer AL :thumb:

No problem adam :thumb:

I owe you more seat time :thumb: next time out.

 

Sorry beef, I stole the link :teehee:

 

About time it worked! Fawkin youtube

S'bout time you guys started updating this... Site has been dead for the last few days...:rock:

 

Well, the front drive shaft isn't gonna work as is. The carrier style OEM bearing allows to much movement and the driveshaft can move around just enough to rub the LF lower link bracket and the exhaust. Gonna have to figure out a different setup. Something a little more rigid and can't move around. Will probably move the rear lower links up on the brackets to gain a little more clearance at the hiems as well.

 

Looking at going with something like this...

My shafts are 1.57 or 40 mm. Seems he only offers 1.5

Wonder if I can force it :teehee:. Maybe stick my shaft in the freezer for awhile lol.

 

Make something similar? Buy the cast version, pull the guts and put it in a machined piece. Kyle or Gary maybe?

Search "pillow block" on MSC or mcmastercarr. Hell amazon.com probably has them too.

 

Check out wide open designs.they have a nice carrier bearing setup that is well proven. Its 199 bucks.

 

I can machine it.

.070 is too much to press....that's over a 1/16 of an inch lol

We can make something work.

 

I ordered this one.
