RE longarm test drive

[BlackSheep]

Hey,
got my rig together last night, and took it for a test drive today. LONG ARMS are the #$%^!!!! That thing rides so much smoother than before.....It really is a dramatic change.

here is a couple of photos:

of course, I had to get the poser shot!!!

Right now, I'm still limited by the shock travel on my rig, so I'm not getting full articulation. But the most dramatic change was in simply the way it rode down the trail. I was driving at 25 mph down bumpy dirt/gravel roads that before I would have been doing 10 mph. I was really surprised at how much difference there was in the ride quality.

I'm trying to plan (with my fiance') a trip to Moab in Nov, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. She wants to take another trip to Vegas.

Don't think so big Lets hit your foot hills after work before the snow closes your favorite secret places to wheel

The 44s are questionable right now. The woman isn't big on the amount of money I spend on the rig, so big purchases will have to come a little at a time.

As far as going for a ride, simply finding a free weekend has been difficult. The testdrive was in the same area as 1/4 elliptic toy's pig roast trailride.

yeah, I just need to get her onboard with the whole jeep thing. Maybe we need to plan a 'family' outing?

anyway, thanks, I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on that.

just let me know. Holly always has a positive effect on other females when we are out wheeling. I think most women would enjoy it more if they had another female to BS with on the trail.

Nick, sorry bud, but It took me long enough to do my own, I'm happy to help though when you decide to do it!

Not positive, I can measure them when I get home. RockLogic built the front ones for me based on measurements I provided, but they used their experience to choose the material. I do know that the fronts they built are sleeved for additional strength. Maybe Carl or Von can chime in with the dimensions.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I went up to 2" OD, and 11/16" I.D. for most of the length. I didn't want you to be able to bend them.
