my inner rings showed up today, ordered them on the 16th from what should have been 1 day shipping. anyway, they are for a 16" wheel, so they are going to actually have someone drive up here and exchange them with the correct ones on tuesday next week.

also, i took the radiator out last night and dropped it off at a shop to have them pressure check it, if its bad then im out $100 for that radiator and ive been looking at summit and found a Be Cool one that i can use for $200, its a lot bigger too, i also took apart my fan to find out that it is a directional fan that ive been spinning backwards so its about 50% efficient, so i took it out of the shroud and whatnot and am going to build a new shroud/mount for the fan to spin the correct direction, but i also might go to the junkyard and grab a tauras fan if it will fit.

I am running a taurus fan, fits hella good. I have a v-6 radiator not sure what you have (demension wise)

Sluice Box Hero · « **Reply #311 on:** Feb 26, 2009, 08:46:11 PM »

The be cool one I'm looking at has a core of 18x18.5. The one I have right now is 12x18. I have a 12" fan right now, how big is the tairas fan??

how was the ride from inskip to sterling City? here are a couple pics... I'll email you some more but those are the best ones

Sluice Box Hero · « **Reply #317 on:** Mar 10, 2009, 09:18:50 PM »

sketchy ride down without brakes, but no one was coming up so it was alright. other than that, it drives pretty good, ripped up from sterling to inskip at on kyles heals the whole way, got up there to lock in the hubs only to find out that i never unlocked them hah.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #318 on:** Mar 10, 2009, 09:22:27 PM »

Ha that probably didnt help with the noise either. I emailed you some more pics also.

Sluice Box Hero · « **Reply #319 on:** Mar 10, 2009, 09:27:42 PM »

drive lines are balanced, so no noise from them really. its the poly mounts for motor mounts. the 22re vibrates soooo bad.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #320 on:** Mar 10, 2009, 09:34:28 PM »

gotcha. I dont have to many vibs besides the unbalanced tires at like 65-70 are pretty bad. But I dont think the carrier bearing is going to last very long, Ive already gone trough 2 in a year and a half... we'll see

Sluice Box Hero · « **Reply #321 on:** Mar 10, 2009, 09:38:47 PM »

just go get yourself a real pillow block back there. your current one should be a 30mm bearing, but you can get a 1-3/16th pillow block at bearing belt and chain that will work just fine. but the timken stuff is $$$

Sluice Box Hero · « **Reply #322 on:** Mar 21, 2009, 09:35:12 PM »

went up again today, just did a little day run, the truck performed flawlessly. found out that that my heim on the rear upper is was loose, so i picked up another one that ill be putting in here soon when i put in the upper coil mounts.

anyway, ended up having to pull Fernando out most the way because he blew his front end up again.

heres one pic i got on my phone, kyle has some video and some way better pics.

pumkin toy · « **Reply #326 on:** Mar 21, 2009, 09:49:13 PM »

damn! i was hoping to see some more pictures!

Sluice Box Hero · « **Reply #327 on:** Mar 21, 2009, 11:18:45 PM »

Well, ive decided im going to enter the first event at Brownsvalley outside of Marysville:

May 2-3 Brownsvalley, CA

Ill be in the Super Mod Class:

SUPPER MOD
OVER 40IN MUST BE 84IN OVER ALL WITH TWO SEAT FROUNT ENGINE NO REAR STEER

Should be a good time, im going to need a spotter, although im sure Kyle is going to chime in ASAP. and im going to need to install my 5 point harnesses ive had laying around for years.

this is the week after hammers, so im hoping the truck is still in one piece haha, either way though.

entry fee is $200, so im going to look for a few sponser in the next month. i think my work will sponser some of it because its pretty local and all rock crawler guys need welding supplies.

everyone should come watch me beat the crap out of my truck the first weekend of May in Brownsvalley!
