There’s people who live in the gray area and then there’s just plain dumb asses who blatantly violate the rules in very poor taste.

I used wasatch abrasive blasting on Andrew ave off pioneer and California for my frame years ago. At the time it was drop it off and pick up the next day.

Idk, you probably have a better idea than us viewers but from the pics and what I imagine, those recovery points shouldn’t be an issue. Even if they contact a bizarre rock you probably won’t even notice until you see the gouge. I still marvel at the crazy rock rash in “unlikely” places after KOH...

I hear ya on the try before you buy and thank you for the offer but I don’t exactly live across town anymore. I believe mine are 16 or 17. Pretty sure 17 because I wanted room for fire suit. They’re for the KOH rig and it’s 54” inside. I “settled” for the same seats you have because I didn’t...

Those seats, what waist size and how wide is your chassis?

I’ll dig up the pictures and explain it. My 4500 wasn’t revolutionary but I went to great lengths to eliminate bump steer by carefully designing the front geometry. Once that cycled perfect I documented the piston travel and had piston stops machined so everything stopped simultaneously...

I disagree. It’s not “full hydro” or kinda like in any sense, of any vernacular or any context. There is no confusion or argument. It’s (servo or spool valve) the exact same component found inside of every power steering gear. It’s simply remotely mounted and engineered in a manner that allows...

I’ve developed a simple flow chart to answer your question I’m not interested in full hydro v <— V————————————< . . . v I’m not familiar with orbitals ———^ I like mechanical action. Linkages, moving parts and the geometry involved is what I enjoy tinkering with. For the most part, sure...

Steering gear is confirmed quicker ratio than its truck counterpart. :smokin: 3.25 lock to lock compared to just ever so slightly more than 4.

I’ve got the best wife ever She loves sand hollow and JV more than myself. She sends memes like this

Just got off work and decided to push the proportions around on paper some more. It looks closer to what I have pictured. Just had to get western with the eraser and rowdy with the pencil until it started to make sense. Should be 73” at the roof with 7” front bump travel and 8-9” in the rear...

I tried getting with the automatic program for this and future builds. Didn’t feel like going down that rabbit hole on short notice. I like the 435 and it’s worked really well crawling and racing. Someday I’d like the convenience of an auto and the shock load dampening. I would only...

For now here’s the general specs 302-NP435-NWF Titan-NP205 D60 D70 37 Toyos on 17 steelies 4.5 bs 117.5 WB 19 belly (to accommodate 40s in the future) As Mentioned this build is a result of refocusing my efforts and getting back on the trail. I was watching the busted knuckle corona coverage...

Clever idea to remove the tube from C

I’ve considered something like that before and imagine how I’d put it to use. Not sure if I want to get one just yet. It might be my best option since you could hit flat surfaces like square tube and get into places to prep a location for weld anywhere on a chassis. Maybe I’ll brush up on them...

Thread title is excessive I’m rolling around the idea of making a tool to quickly prep tubing ends for welding. Something with a shank for drill operation. The business end would be something like 3”+ tubing with 3-4 wooden wire brushes inside. I feel that the brushes would deform quickly and...

Brrrrrrrrrrrr This driftwood made me think of skull and crossbones Lonely old lighthouse

Cool axle find

To get this thread started I’m going to refer to this buggy as the WiscoBuilt Missabe buggy. They say be careful not to party too hard at KOH otherwise you won’t party on thanksgiving Hammers. Something like that. Well this buggy is a crossbreed of 4400 pedigree. The name comes from the region I...

You’re kidding, right?
