From what I remember, 1beatjeeps left front tire did not come off the ground like mine did. Which eventually cause me to roll over backwards.

No it didn't lift, but even he said the twist helped. We should have seen he could drive a different truck up it.

I don't know then. I do know that I want to go back and conquer that F'ing rock!

Well here's a finish pic from the same rock my first avatar was. Remember? Here ya go

Well man I gotta say, that thing is lookin awsome. Hope that you have gotten the suspension to travel to what you want now.

How do you find it with the rear lockout? Does it still have a decent turning circle?

rckjeep · 11-30-2004, 08:44 AM

I could use more flex, and 12 point turns aren't too bad. As soon as my LHS get the bearing I need for the 645 rear steer will be back. but I find it holds a line better without it.

Sweet man that thing came together quite nicely.
You and badger should swap wheels/tires some time.

Oh, here's a 100x100 pixel avatar picture for ya.

Cause I know how long it takes for you guys to update 'em.

I just realized you had a bigger pic, oh well, I tried.

Your rig looks Great!

Have you tried mounting the top of the shocks to the inside of the frame rails?

rckjeep · 11-30-2004, 05:19 PM

Ya I've gone thru different shock locations. But They won't let me mount the body in the same place or the shocks bind at the mounts.

CSR · 11-30-2004, 06:05 PM

I went thru the same thing with the shocks binding. I made some little aluminum tabs to attach the top mounts, I put a slight bend in them to align the upper mount with the lower mount. No more binding! Your chassis sits a little lower than mine so this may not work good for you.... just an idea.

Here's a pic.....
