Thanks! The snorkel is only for looks right now I need to reroute some tubing to make it work again. the shock towers I put in for the longer shocks meant moving everything around including air box and over flow tank, it's kinda of a pain but should be awesome on the trails. I will take some pics tomorrow.

 

How much more travel did you achieve?

 

I have Fox 10" travel in the front and 12" travel in the rear but as far as total wheel travel I'm not 100%, but it's a lot. I decided to go with 10" in the front instead of 12" just because there's a lot of other extra issues with 12" and a panhard 3-link like amount of dislocation with cones and how much the axle arches with a panhard. Plus it's only 2" of extra travel. With that said I will probably need limiting straps for the front and rear once I get custom links in the rear instead of the RTE's. It's still a work in progress but hopefully nearly finished.

 

Turf, what are the specs on those ranchos? How do you like them?

 

Nah, not yet, I'll use the almighty hose clamp until I'm ready to go down that road. I'll keep eyes peeled for retainers but with the RTE steering components and adjustable pan hard getting picked up Monday, plus the fact that I want to buy a compressor, I think my spending needs to CHILLLLL

@cupgt I have no idea. Ask jake. I think they're about 10" travel I know they barely fit. Before I got raised upper mounts in the back, this is what the shock looked like at ride height (with 2" LOWERED mounts)




Here it is now with 2" raised mounts. Net 4"



I've barely driven it at all since I got them on plus since I did the super stiff springs at the same time it's tough to tell what's affecting ride quality how. Certainly a little rougher now. I don't get a chance to wheel it until the annual in June

 

Just be sure any "Custom Mounts" can withstand the stresses involved or you will rip it loose at a critical time. I had two dear friends die from just such an occurence.

I had been with them the day before riding in that rig. The next day, it tore loose at the custom mounts while they were highway driving. Probably damaged earlier and failed at that speed.

 

Today I removed and painted my bumper and sliders and polish up the aluminum skid plate. Approx 15 min into this task I realized why I hate painting and get everything powder coated. And then to make things worse the next door neighbor decided to cut his grass 10 feet from where I was spray painting. Luckily it turned out real nice and I am done. Next time around its going straight to the powder coater. Ill post up some pics once its dry and back on the truck.

 

Turfs shocks are 8" front 11" rears and the mounts he has are plenty strong.. Probably not as strong as the set I have from Denny at HLC though

Here's what I did today







Couple videos - nothing crazy just something to watch

cleaned TB..

 

after a 50 mile training ride with friends I re foamed the subs, took out driver window regulator to find out it's the motor and not regulator (have spare now).
