i am running pass drop, and i decided to let the crack go and just used a thick plate for the pto cover and sealed it it. some one else posted they had the same crack and it just dripped a tiny bit.
now the lower line needs ran, big challenge is i have to make a dam near 180 out the bottom of the RAD and go forward. after toying with some different ideas i decided to make a mitered 180 with 22 degree cuts, currently i am using 1.5" .120 wall so that kind makes for a blockage. may step up to 1.75 .120 wall to help that. maybe not a big deal either. dont know . winging it... and bending the SS i get mixed up sometimes and bend the oppistie and so i mess up a tube once in while. so this run i will have a couple couplings. oh well.
Would it be worth moving the lower outlet of the rad to come out in front of the rad, and run one of those 90* hoses from there?
i may need to look at some alternatives. i wonder if i can go under the seat, next to the tcase and then up. hmmmmmmyeah, passenger is gonna get crispyyyy
thanks budHell Yeah Chappy.
Damn Chappy, what's that shaft weigh? I build my front out of 1/4" cuz it was easy to find for me, it's probably 1/2 that tube length and it was heavy AF.drive shafts were done over the weekend.
front is omg crazy. the tube we found was 3/8 wall and 2.75 diameter. maybe 2,5 i cant remember. rear we were able to just cut the toyota end off and put the new spline piece on.
front and rear shafts are 1 inch different in length so that is awesome. one spare is all i need.
That's a good looking buggy. You've about motivated me to tear mine apart.verdict is not out yet on if i need to get different coil springs. but a decision has been made to raise the front mount mounts about 2 inches to get more uptravel.
What's the preload, shaft showing and current rate of the springs ?verdict is not out yet on if i need to get different coil springs. but a decision has been made to raise the front mount mounts about 2 inches to get more uptravel.
once i get all the weight back on the buggy, like full tank of fuel (less than 3 gallons in tank) , tool box, and winch then i will redo the math and figure out exactly what springs i need to get or not get. i also want to move the front shock mount because i dont feel like i have enough up, currently 5 inchs and would like 7.What's the preload, shaft showing and current rate of the springs ?
yes, i loved the turbo and if i could only do rocks and technical crawling i would have stayed on the 4cyl. but the areas we go a rarely get to only do rock crawling, lots of hills, mud and rocks is what we end up with all in one trail so you need a bit more power at times. so i just want to have that option...Damn look at you go, last I looked you were adding a turbo to your 4banger. Looks good!
you need to detune it for technical crawling you could always disconnect a couple of coils and the corresponding injectoryes, i loved the turbo and if i could only do rocks and technical crawling i would have stayed on the 4cyl. but the areas we go a rarely get to only do rock crawling, lots of hills, mud and rocks is what we end up with all in one trail so you need a bit more power at times. so i just want to have that option...
