the rear suspension has not changed, i did clearance the rear fenders though. I do plan to stretchering the wb and lowering about 2" overall

New on here just looked through your build so far and I have to say your truck is awesome!

I have a 94 pickup that I'm gathering parts for and I hope it turns out as well as yours

thanks westren!

I have some updates I swapped in a new W56 transmission because 1st gear would always pop out from when I first put it in and then I blew 3rd gear. The new transmission seems to be in really good condition so hopefully this one will last for awhile.

I also lowered the rear by about an inch by taking out the overload on the 63s.
Then took the truck to Revenge Off-Road and had Derek build me this awesome rear bumper

A friend of mine is really in need of a new rear diff so I decided to sell him my front 3rd (5.29, grizzly equipped) and Ill be upgrading to a high pinion w/ ARB

The goal is to have the truck back on the road by the end of this month.

sounds like a good upgrade! you will love hp

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #309 on:** Mar 14, 2013, 07:44:18 PM »

Wish I could afford things like that.

I saw you signed up on Timbercrawler the other day! Ya, we all used to wheel, now we are a bunch of pervs!!

And you should try to figure out the filter words!!

WESTREN · « **Reply #310 on:** Mar 22, 2013, 07:02:51 PM »

Question for ya.. In the first few pics of ur build I seen u have that metal bar that runs from the axle to the proportioning valve on the frame. it's suppose to be a load sensing valve. did you just cut it off?

It wasn't cut off, but I did remove it from the valve.

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #312 on:** Mar 23, 2013, 07:26:20 AM »

Most people just disconnect it from the axle and wire it up out of the way. The lazy method works!!

daniresch · « **Reply #313 on:** May 31, 2013, 06:21:58 PM »

Took a some time to save up but this did recently show up; high pinion, 5.29, ARB:

This is a pictures I took of the truck right before I tore it apart ~3 months ago, the Front axle is being moved forward 1.5inches and lowered 1inch. the rear will stay the same height. I can't wait to have it back on the road!

Ooooooo, fancy.

You going to Leavenworth and waterwerks?

daniresch · « **Reply #315 on:** Jun 01, 2013, 03:59:07 AM »

Waterwerks maybe, when is it again?. Leavenworth forsure, you? not in the bmw though because I recently sold it! I was looking for something more practical for school/work so I bought this. 2003 a4 sport, 1.8t, quattro, 5speed, really enjoying it so far!

not sure which ill drive yet, if the truck is ready i'd like to drive that tho!

Nimyad · « **Reply #316 on:** Jun 01, 2013, 10:26:36 AM »

Waterwerks is June 30th, I think I'll end up just going to Leavenworth.

Sad to hear you sold the BMW, now you need to lower that Audi!

daniresch · « **Reply #317 on:** Jun 25, 2013, 11:27:59 PM »

went out to browns over the weekend so i got to test out the high pinion arb front, stretched axle, and slightly lowered truck.
a small amount of front bumper and fender trimmage will come to clear the tires, no more rubbing on the inside wheel well which i was trying to accomplish

Toy-Cra-Ze · « **Reply #318 on:** Jun 26, 2013, 08:17:09 AM »

Looks good!! I bet that arb sure is nice!

pumkin toy · « **Reply #319 on:** Jun 26, 2013, 10:55:30 AM »

high pinion always rocks, especially if it has an ARB also!

daniresch · « **Reply #320 on:** Jul 07, 2013, 11:51:35 PM »

Went to browns twice this week had a blast, truck is running flawlessly.... i didn't take too many picture but here they are

pumkin toy · « **Reply #321 on:** Jul 08, 2013, 11:11:18 PM »

I like the rear bumper! didn't notice it until these recent pics. looks like he uses a pretty large radius die for that tubing. Gives it more of a nice "swooshy" look, haha, if that makes sense!

x2 on that. nice looking bumper. It does have some swoosh to it. I like it.

I was at browns from Tuesday to sunday, I didn't see you

daniresch · « **Reply #324 on:** Jul 09, 2013, 10:46:56 AM »

I was there Sunday the 30th and Thursday the 4th. From like 11am to 6pm. Where were you at?

daniresch · « **Reply #325 on:** Jul 15, 2013, 04:40:46 PM »

My starter decided to crap out on me right before I was going to head out to brown this past weekend, luckily i had a spare in my garage i was able to bolt on.
pictures from this past weekend.

HogCanyonHopper · « **Reply #326 on:** Jul 15, 2013, 04:54:18 PM »

nice pics and nice truck

. I really like your rear bumper. I am going to keep that design in mind for having one built here real soon.

I was there on sunday and didn't see any events

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #329 on:** Jul 16, 2013, 07:33:16 AM »

It was on Saturday. And there was maybe a dozen rigs from what I heard. Including our own 4x42u, who hasn't been on here for a while.
