[mudcrazy]

Just seen the video on youtube. Its under offroad ultimate adventure 2010-part4- Rausch Creek. Nice rock climb about 3/4's of the way through the vid, and sure looks like that was a bit of a deep mud and water hole you were into at the end.

I've always loved your truck, man.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Thanks dude. Andres629 made me an offer I couldn't refuse on my temporary D44 FW front, so now I'm goin full bore..... 9"/D60 front and 9" 14B rear are underway!

 

[Bent Bolt]

What kind of suspension are you going to run ? I have a 95 F350 ball joint D60 given to me and will be stuffing into my truck next year. I was thinking 3 link.

 

[59bisquik]

Andrew!
Quit fooling around with all of these crazy axle swaps and come to Moab with us!

 

[wahlstrom1]

Lol, I just wanna get it on the road again! I have the radius arms already, and I think I'll run them, although a 3 link is mighty tempting....

If I can find a way to get the Hi9 front third in, I want it done for Maylong weekend....

 

[59bisquik]

We are going in April...get to fabbin'

If your gonna get all crazy and huge...why not some portal boxes??

 

[wahlstrom1]

Not huge.... just reliable, and with a lot more umph. I plan on making it no taller then when you saw it on U.A. and have it runnin 40" rubber. Airshocks should be around next week, just gotta pick up some DOM for the hoops.

 

[59bisquik]

I will be VERY interested in what the street manners and your tuning issues are with your air shocks. I just put a set on the front of my dune buggy and found that they can be a bit difficult to tune and wonder how they would react on road.

 

[wahlstrom1]

My airshocks are wrestling with my coolant and washer fluid resevoir for space..... oh, and the hood too.....

Just a loose mockup where they fit for now....

 

[86 slo-vo]

ill put $5 on the airshocks lol

 

[wahlstrom1]

random idea.... relocating the resevoirs to the outside of the inner fender, under the prerunner fender and running hoses with caps through the inner fender....we'll see how it goes.

Second plan, getting a car pan for the 6.0L.... it's fighting the hood too, and I still need an engine cage in there! Shoulda done a B/L years ago....

 

[Josh40601]

you're putting the 6 oh in already?

 

[kris97ranger]

just let it stick thru the hood

 

[wahlstrom1]

you're putting the 6 oh in already?

I have to relocate a buncha stuff... and build new driveshafts....

Might as well only do it once! but we'll see how it goes....
