I’m talking in the application of drivetrain mounting. My rig brings the beef everywhere it counts. I don’t understand the delrin fan bois. It sounds exotic maybe? It’s plastic essentially and I only use it as a consumable wear item in a few applications. Here’s the best picture I have of...

The heat and pressure destroy them. Idk whether to blame the quality, blend or durometer. The bolt sleeves all flop around in the bushing. I utilized a variety of vendor sources. They all have different mold designs or numbers from the mold. They are all trashed equally. Talking with another...

Bent mounts. Original application was imca modified chassis then I added the bushing stock. They were offset parallel but bent 20-23* I’m actively seeking alternatives to your atypical black poly bushing. (FOR ENGINE MOUNTING) I had never used them until this project. They suck. They’re...

Once home the whole rig was inspected. Amazing to see your craftsmanship survive Hammers. I was in awe discovering abrasions in the most unlikely places or surfaces. Too many pictures of the inspection and said abrasions. The number one priority was to get the shocks sorted out and continue to...

Wishbone delete looks great. Seems you’re getting most of the bugs worked out and squeezing potential out where you can

What size specifically? Edit, guess I was confused because we both had commented steering at one point. You linked 1.25. Judging by the stock photo, I’m assuming it has a different shoulder and undoubtedly more wrench flat area than what I purchased in 2016 or earlier. I’m sure they’d be...

Never seen such a thing. A futile effort I would assume and not really sure what you’d tether them too? I had to fight to get mine loose after KOH. As for steering components and those who often struggle to keep jam nuts tight, on a Y or T setup, there is a solution that does not require any...

The insert you linked must be a new design Dan offers. It’s a slight improvement over his last which had a small wrench flat that gets destroyed unless you TIG weld it and the heim shank out runs the insert so you’re losing valuable shear strength. Link for the lazy...

Check out Trail Forged. I’ll never buy another insert from anyone else. Period! I’m cutting out all of my inserts and replacing with his. (Trail Forged) RuffStuff is a great vendor/source but they don’t always offer the best solution or price point and their shipping isn’t always fair. I’ve...

Post #619 was the UA reference that I confused with post #644. https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/712671-how-we-roll-rollover-thread-25.html Again I want to express that I’m not hatin on your project. Just tryin to be helpful

Brief KOH recap. We made it there, ran out of time, drove it back on the trailer. No mechanical failures. 3 finished and I was scored top 20 although the corrected times don’t actually reflect physical position. Rantz couldn’t have been more than 3 positions ahead of me when the race was...

Triangles...not squares. Trapezoids are not triangles. You should really take this warning seriously. Why go to the effort of slinging tube if you don’t understand the value of safety or basic geometry? There’s a lot of opportunity for it to be corrected without changing a thing you’ve done so...

Didn’t think about TWF, thanks Carl. Naked price isn’t too bad for us common folk who can’t make things round at home in our underwear while programming the plasma or running the lathe

In for the preorder of a 17 split rim Why nobody make them?

Not sure where I left off or if there was a KOH recap or not. That’s where I’ll begin A reminder of how the project started

Diggin it. Looks like you’ve got it under control and it will all come together. It’s tedious as hell cutting up a body and fitting it to tube.

I’m going with unicorn pricing sheet Go back eleventy billion pages on pirate, somewhere between a grain of sand and a violent storm of events of what is now Ultra4, way back when the gods actually communicated through the technology of forums before they left because of keyboard ass clowns...

How was the task of wrapping a panel? Any advice?

^ that would be showing off
