u definitely got some cool stuff to droll over. What size tube are you using for the exo cage?

[bamfx-factor]

mostly 1.75 hrew, but some 1.5, for bracing and cross braces. I know a lot of people dont like using hrew but i know back east ( im from New Hampshire) people who do dirt track racing and sanctiond circle track racing use hrew tube and many use black pipe, for the cages and some for the complete chassis:eek: Scared me at first then i saw how much abuse they took and some of these guys roll going really fast and walk away fine and the cages hold up great!:Big Grin: I have seen poorly thought out cages built of dom and wouldent get in them to save my life and i have seen beautiful cages built from pipe and seen them work flawlessly, I feel if the design is sound and you have good welding and fab skills dom, hrew, and yes cheap pipe will keep you safe. Thats just me 2 cents and im sure im gona stir up a world of shit :Big Grin: but hey thats why were here!:rolleyes:

[MR.ROCKAPE]

DAMN...NOW I KNOW WHY YOU NEEDED THOSE SLIDERS....YOU ARENT FAWKING AROUND....THIS THING SHOULD BE DONE SOON IF YOU KEEP UP THIS PACE!!!!GOOD JOB......DOES THAT TOOB SMELL FUNNY???(POOP PIPE!!!)

[bigtonbassin]

If id have to say my self this looks like the sweetest rig ive seen you build and im verry jelous and i want to know when its done so i can come out and we can hit some trails with it. Keep us all posted and be safe:Big Grin:. T

I am pretty psyched about the lines off the back half...now i just have to make the front as cool:cool:

[MR.ROCKAPE]

LOOKS GOOD.....AND IM SURE YOU ARE GONNA LIKE THOSE SHOCKS....AFTER THIS WEEKEND IM THINKING THE REST OF MY FOXs ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD!!!!

[bamfx-factor]

I won the full hydro steering today on ebay:Big Grin:... pics when i get them!

[bigtonbassin]

I won the full hydro steering today on ebay:Big Grin:... pics when i get them!

That thing looks sweet and im jelous that i have no one to weel with up here. Im psyched to see that thing when its done.:Big Grin:

[Hardcore-CashMoney]

Lookin good, that tube work is pretty bad ass. So i'm curious about the propane, is it for power or milage or something? atleast you'll always have some gas to cook some burgers and stuff :Big Grin:

[bamfx-factor]

The propane is more for the off road ability over a carb, It was between an efi swap off a 22re, but finding the parts proved to be tricky even at pick and pull, there were no 22re motors with complete harnesses anywhere! :frown: And i didnt have the money for a stand alone harness and efi kit... so i lool\ked into propane and its a cheap swap ( 700 bucks to 1000! ) :Big Grin: and i figured its kind of different so why not!:cool:

[Hardcore-CashMoney]

I thought it was pretty cool too, just might be tuff to find extra fuel in the middle of nowhere...any ideas on what kinda mileage you might get with that kinda set up? When you get it done we'll have to send some pictures to the green weenies about a clean fueled rig. :Big Grin: That really is a good point about the carb and pane though

[BIG BLUE]

depends on the propane system...i was lookiong to go that route but run both gas and propane...gas for the road and long haul and then switch to propane for trail use. But right now I have to focus on getting hte jeep running and staying that way for more then ten minutes.

Rig looks good. Like the backhalf!

[Sierra Valley]

Nice looking toy! Looks much better now that you have torn everything off!

[bamfx-factor]

here you go I know most of you... like me:Big Grin: like to look at the pics so here ya go! :cool:

My front pinion is puking fluid as fast as i can put it in, and i have no way to trailer it. but probly the next few weekends!.....i just pm'd you!

[jeeper89]

My front pinion is puking fluid as fast as i can put it in, and i have no way to trailer it. but probly the next few weekends!.....i just pm'd you!

just throw some pinion fluid stop leak in and iit call it good:gapteeth:

[bamfx-factor]

Does any one else have fluid come out of the hydraulic steering resivior(sp), i think it still must have a little air in the lines? any bleeding tips from the rockgods?:rolleyes:

[bamfx-factor]

the vent cap that is....to the post above:rolleyes:

[bamfx-factor]

just throw some pinion fluid stop leak in and iit call it good:gapteeth:

It leaks like somone drilled a hole in it!:frown: DSI, said he ran his shit without any fluid in the axle for half a season! Good idea though!:rolleyes:

[jeeper89]

Does any one else have fluid come out of the hydraulic steering resivior(sp), i think it still must have a little air in the lines? any bleeding tips from the rockgods?:rolleyes:

to bleed your steering system, lift the front axle up and put it on jackstands. fill the fuild up and put the cap back on. steer full lock once. check fluid(you will probably see bubbles in the tank. re fill if needed. steer to full lock again. check again. then full lock a few times.. go until you dont see any more bubbles in the system. check to see if the tank is the highest point of the system too..

[BIG BLUE]

Looks good...is it me or does the front look a lot lower...maybe its the angle or the way its sitting or the way the tube angles down..or im just a nut job...

[bamfx-factor]

Yeah i gota burp another 2" out of the ass end! and we will be good!

[4X4BABE]

my pinion fluid leaks too...:rolleyes::mullet:

[MR.ROCKAPE]

DOES THE FLUID IN THE RES LOOK AIRIATED???IF NOT THE LEVEL WILL RISE AS IT WARMS UP...IT KINDA WILL FIND ITS FULL LEVEL THAT WAY!!!!

IF NOT FOLLOW JEEPERS SUGGESTION AND BLEED THE SYSTEM!!!!

I USUALLY JACK MINE UP,AND STEER IT LOCK TO LOCK WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO GET MOST OF THE AIR OUT BEFORE I ACTUALLY START THE ENGINE!!!AND IF YOU DO START IT AND HAVE ALOT OF AIR RISING OUT OF THE FLUID,GO AHEAD AND STEER IT A FEW TIMES AND SHUT IT OFF...LET ALL THE AIR RISE OUT OF THE RES. AND REPEAT!!!!

[bigtonbassin]

This thing looks sweet. Im glad you got it done and are happy with it . Steph said it looks good . Hope you enjoy weelin this one and its nice to see onf finished finaly.:Big Grin:Have fun and buckle up.

[bamfx-factor]

Sooooo. the rig is out in fernley, at my buddys shop. Money has been a dash tight as of late but i think i have all the bugs worked out! Added another pane tank, rear sway bar, 38,5 sx tsl (grooved some life back into them) new seats, newish rims, head light guards, caged wher the doors were. and so on... :Big Grin: Here are some update pics!!!

[MR.ROCKAPE]
