Really like that chassis '53, those old willy's were awsome looking rigs, between those and the old m-37 power wagons are my favorite old trucks. I also like the hub mod your doing, but i wonder if the leverage of the big tires will rip the small circle out of the plastic wheels, it will be great if that works out. |

It gets us back to the early days when it was about running a body that looked good but maybe wasn't the best on "rolling over". Kudos to you for bringing ti back. Time to pull out my RockPleazer... | |

I'm pretty confident in the vp hub...I can't take any credit for it though...Eddie at crawler innovations is the 1st guy I know to try it. I don't really see it being an issue...it seems pretty dang stout. Quote:

Got the all thread links mocked up...just waiting on my other set of shocks....I abandoned the axial shock in favor of some 4" big bores and mini t springs.... Probably gonna lower the ride hight a bit...looks a bit tall in the rear...? But that might just be because there is nomfront shocks on yet...  Here is a shot of the dlux adjustable super upper link mount!! Simple and effective!!   Full super 300 steering angle....even with 7.75" tires I hope to have no rub?? We'll see...?  |

Don't worry about rollovers with a super. It's not likely to happen like it does with a 2.2, unless your cab is ridiculously tall. You're better off building the truck so that it can drive uspide down to an obstacle that you can drive up and flip yourself over.

After looking a little closer at your pictures, the small inner chassis section with the outer cab for shock mounts looks similiar to what I've been working on lately for my super. Once you get the amount of material to be removed down and settle on materials, that should work nicely.

Built up some tires last night....it was not as bad as I thought it was gonna be... The sedonas are right about 7-3/4" with crawler inovations firm inner and soft outers in a 2.0" wide...they feel soft....just how I like my sedonas!!!  I decided I did not like the trencher lugs on the sidwall so I shaved them off... Looks much better and I assume it's gonna drive better too..  Did rear boss claws (reds) they came in a bit shorter then the sedonas they are a little over 7-1/2"...shaved the trencher lugs off the BC's too...  It's looking like a real super now!!   I'm going to use some shorter rod ends for the shocks...should sit right where I want it once I do that...     Full front lock  Full rear lock...I also did the every other row cut on the BC's..  |

Your build is looking really good. Whats the width tire to tire? And what hubs are you using?

[QUOTE=53 willys;3343803]thanks Mike....the jury is still out on this berg stuff ....not much meat on the internal gears on these axles....hope they hold up??thanks bud! 14" wide from outside tire to outside tire.... the hubs are 350's.....I thought I might want 225's but I kinda like the width of it now. Ok ya I was right at about 14.125 with the super bullys tire to tire width. And I was pretty happy with that. I just sold my super bullys and am gathering parts up for superbergs. I think you are going to be really happy with the bergs myself. There are a few superbergs up here and I never see them have any probs with theirs. Anyways thanks for the info. |
