Del Monte's Secret Agent build

[EverettY]

Wow they are getting good now days. They are making bent links that look just like straight one

If you don't want to show what's under the skirt that cool.
I'll just have Joel draw it up for me from memory.

Like Jeremy's. The uppers have a bend. But at certain angles they look straight.

Nice avatar Bryce. Fitting. Does that mean you're gonna wax a chump like a candle?

Nah. He'll probably bum rush a speaker that booms.

Nah. Only if I ran that chassis. But I am rolling in a 4.0.

Any progress on the shock "protection"?

Not yet, I'm going to wait until I finalize the rear shock angle before I make anything.

I have been fighting a rear traction issue this week. The longer rear links and forward bias chassis make it difficult to get enough rear grip out of this setup. After talking with Jeremy and Malachi, I think I am going to try adding some link separation at the rear axle to transfer more weight backwards.

The upside to the forward bias setup is that this thing goes uphill like no other rig I've ever driven. I can launch up the gspot bounty climb on command with no knuckle weights

I forgot you weren't running spacers under the rear link mount, now that makes perfect sense.

How thick of a spacer?

Maybe next time yer at the G-Spot...grab a pic of this line so ppl understand how INSANE that statement is. Thats an ALMOST undoable line as it is...& now you're makin it with no knuck weight??? I quit.

At least you don't claim the pot when you make it. You just het a kick outta watchin all of US try it.

Hey guys,
how long are Jake's upper links end rod to end rod ? Could I use axial threaded 106mm pipes ?
Thanks for any help...

Just an idea he and Joel were kicking around to prevent hangups on shock ends

its not almost undoable. it is very doable line. my old truck would make it almost every time once i figured it out.

Nice build so far Jake , i can't wait to see it in action

Just cause your truck would do it "once you found the line" doesnt mean its very do able. Out of 30+ guys in the southern California area there are still only a handful of us who have made that climb. And dont forget we were all trying it with LAST years rigs when the cash was on the line. I suspect the sub 4lb cars will make short work of it but doing it with NO knuckle weight is definitely something to respect.

My batting average is 1.000 wHen it comes to hitting the G Spot

Try to give Jake some props & you SD boys come in & just YANK it away from him. Way to go Tom. Feel like a big man? Jakes probably sitting in the corner depressed now. Sheeesh.

YEAH....DAMMIT!!!

Truth is...I haven't tried that line since the bounty last season so really don't know how doable it is or isn't today. Like Jim said...during the bounty...NOBODY took the cash or the tires.
