[Sluice Box Hero]

its all good, it does need some more bbs in the tires, but it will be fine for the run.

its got VERY VERY suttle hop in it (like 45-50ish my guess cause the speedo is out) but it goes away when you power through it. its nothing that is even to be bothered about really. 1/2 cup of BBs more in each wheel and it should be dead on. (i hope)

[ToYocRawleR]

haha dang bro

[Yota4life]

his third member is gay, why would you want to tell everyone that??? bess kept to himself

[THK Matt]

sounds like a machine operator failure to me.

[kiyul4130]

heres what my current flat belly setup is. its not 100% but just about  i need to cut out the horseshoe and raise up that first peice of driveline cause its cause just a small amount of vibration. im not to worried about it now but ill get to it sooner or later... heres a picture of the crossmember installed as well.

[kiyul4130]

[Ramrod]

i need it lengthened just a pinch under 3" and it will be fine. i only have like 4" of up. that will be more than enough for droop.

[TheCookieMonster]

are you runnin a BL  i cant tell....was the flat belly pretty eazy?? any floor mods?? anyways it all looks good  ...im gettin ready to do the flatbelly to

[kiyul4130]

im running a 2" BL. i know a lot of people say it sucks or whatever but as far as im concerned i weighed out the PROS and CONS and its more beneficial to run it then take it off. when you do a 3.4 swap you need a 2" body lift or hood mods are required. i plan to do that one day so that was a +. i got a marlin clocked adapter and was able to flat belly it. ya it was easy just put a floor jack and a wood block underneath and raised it till the desired height. no floor mods.

nice ...thanks for the info ...im planning on running no BL with the clocked tc. so i may end up doin some floor mods from what ive heard...

[kiyul4130]

you are going to but it wont be as much as you normally would have to without that clocked adapter. good luck...

[kiyul4130]

i picked up some high density plastic today, its kinda like lexan i guess you could say. its going to be for my skid plate. there should be enough to do hyenas, ramrods, and sluice box's trucks as well. a few hundred yards away was lilbuddys imfamous flex ramp deal so i took a few pictures of my junk since i havent flexed it yet since redoing all the suspension on my truck. the front works great and doesnt rub anywhere. neither does the rear. i just need my front shaft like 3" longer.

[kiyul4130]

pictures are being a pita to post...

[Sluice Box Hero]

you better set aside enough to do a 3'x4' piece of the thick stuff for me.

Callen

[kiyul4130]

there isnt anything close to 3x4'. everything there i you not is 2' and some change by like 10'+. its all long rectangular 2' wide. good luck on the 3x4'. im going to go back sometime. a peice of 3x3 will work for me. i grabbed the best stuff i could. the said he couldnt cut anything for me cause the stuff he was CNCing was going to take 2 more hours..

[tom w.]

How gay would it be if I were to basically copy your front bumper?

[Rockcrawlintoy]
