Topic: Trixxie The 81 Trekker

from my experience i would definitely run a pressure regulator to keep it below 4-5 PSI max. when i put the weber on my 2wd without a regulator the pump had enough pressure to push the valve open in the float bowl and then would dump that fuel strait down the barrel, ran super rich and inconsistent.

I personally am taking the weber off and going back to a stock carb., i have never got mine to run quite right.

Thanks...i will check on that after i get my axles done.

No....I assume that's a different forum??? Always looking for additional forums to research though! Please enlighten me...

Yeah RDC is Race Desert, and DR is dezert rangers...
both equally good...RDC is more for racers and have some big names on it... DR is a bit more down to earth...a little to much but lots of good info there..

ill post a couple pics of stuff i have built in the last few years..

  thanks for the info on the other forums, I will definitely check them out. Do you have a build thread for "Sally" on either of those forums? On a different note...are those cup holders next to the battery switch and shifter? That's why I put a passenger seat in mine..."hold this" 

Seriously though, enjoyed the pics! Nice work!

Yeah feel free just give me a heads up.. I just got both axles on trixxie yesterday.. Welded and finalized everything on it... Im running exactly 6 degrees of caster now.. And have that all dialed in.. Yesterday was a long day.. Bothe axles on and off to finish up the welding.. Worked on sally and lifted the gfs tundra... Today is rest day...also did a quick side job.. Lol

Blaaaahhhhhhhh

[OCD]

haha YEAP!! im "that guy"....

[OCD]

haha YEAP!! im "that guy"....

Out of all the cool trucks & custom mods to see at last years MCR, your umbrella and Yotaman's  disco light were by far my wife's favorites! I have to admit, I was pretty impressed that your umbrella made it all the way in and out of the springs with no major damage! 

[HogCanyonHopper]

I agree!! Yodaman's light was off the hook. so cool to see him roll into the springs 

[twistedtoy92]

Awesome work man! I dig the umbrella and seat covers

[megaphoneman [OP]]

Haha thanks guys.. And yeah OCD it did have a few mishaps but its still in my truck.. :-) i just put some work time on trixie tonight.. Making my spare tire carrier..


Blaaaahhhhhhhh

[megaphoneman [OP]]

Its a owrk in progress but the idea is when it folds down it will be a table for grilling/cooking or parts table. The back if it will have aluminum and there will be bracing for when its down.. I love the angle and i made it so everything flows exactly with the trekker body..


Blaaaahhhhhhhh
