Title: Flexy shots for all (pics)
Post by: hcgalvin on March 09, 2005, 02:22:33 PM
Ok folks,

We decided to take it over to the local redneck flex test truck ramp. Please take into account that the swaybars are still fully attached. We could get more travel if we unhooked them. Here's some teasers, check out the page for more.

Yah, I hope so.
Shocks should be in tomorrow.

I figure the e-locker wiring circuits will take several hours to put together.  (Gotta build some logic in them)

So it's really this weekend or bust.

How about you, got all of your stuff together?  You going to make it?  Got that flatbed and tow rig all dialed in?

Looking GOOD!  How much logic do you need in your locker wiring Nate?  It's pretty simple!

Well, I guess you could switch the power source, by running it through a relay powered by the 4WD switch, or something like that.

WOW!!!! ANd you say thats with the sway bars hooked  up?  Have you tried without the bars hooked up yet?  It really looks like all that hard work really paid off.  Have fun ;D

I gotta make this twice.
(once for the front, once for the rear)

Then I gotta add ;

I figure it should take me a few hours an end.
(plus make it durable, soldier, heat shrink, etc)

We have not tried it without the sway bars.
(prolly should though, just for kicks)

I might leave them attached, though, as they do help keep the body square on the suspension.

Thanks for all of the great feedback guys!

Its been a project in the works for a few years now.  Every time we've played with it more, it seems to grow.

I hope we are nearing the end.

you know heather i remember when i first saw your rig on dave jones site with a 2" lift and 235's i though it was a cool looking rig. two years later, and look at it now it's amazing, and i won't be suprised if you throw a blown v8 in it next year  ;D

looks intimidating i must say  ;)
