Well he must do some wheelin look at the scratches and dents on teh rock rail portion of teh exocage. why doyou say 1.5" of up travel?

[Gil BullyKatz]

why do you say 1.5" of up travel?

There was approximately 1.5" of space between his bump stop and the bottom of his coil...


Seriously

[rockwerks]

So you took out your tape and measured it or just a guess. also what kinda bumpstop?

[Gil BullyKatz]

No, I took out my Johnson and did a side-by-side comparison... We matched

satisfied?

Well I guess your johnson is a little longer than 1.5" because as you can see in the enhanced pic there is no bumpstop extension on the top of the bumpstop tower or from the axle side also. looks like about 4" to 6" of clear space to me. can see light through the Drivers Side spring all the way down to the axle mount and can plainly see no extension on the passenger side bumpstop. also look at the doors and rails this rig gets play


So what kinda stuff where you smokin that day, must hav been some good stuff!

I love photo analyzing...

I guess you're right... I only stared at it from a few inches away... and you're looking at a low-res picture...

Sorry... Didn't mean to poke fun at your rig... I liked the way it looks if it makes ya feel better

and of course this rig plays hard... I'm sure it ran orange trail and purgatory

you can see the consetric coil rings here in the pic, It aint my rig but I still say you are on crack! LOL

http://fototime.com/%7B7EC43930-40F0-4799-B7BA-4B34F3011621%7D/picture.JPG

The red lines show where the clear space in the coil is plainly visable. and youcan see the lines and holes continue behind the spring and back. clearly open

and yes its a nice rig.

I run a 34.5" coilover and set for 3.5" up uptravel and 8.5" of down travel on my MJ. with 35" tire and about 5.5" of lift I get full tuck to the inner fender well and a great deal of droop.

Have you seen the pneumatic bumpstops that the jeepspeed guys run? they compress about 3" most run em about 2" off the axle mount and use em to help dampen the bumps.

HMMMMMM you got another pic of this situation? I will stand behind my assumptions. If Im wrong Ill...Ill eat some grease out my grease gun hows that! LOL (would not be the first time)

Stop being a fawking idiot.
I was there, and this rig had 5-6" billet bumpstops ATTACHED TO THE COIL PERCH.
I run 3" myself.
Regardless, xjnation, you weren't there, and many of us were.
Pull your head out of your wrecked'em and admit fault.
This was a well built rig, that never got over 800 RPM, that I could see.
In fact, he let the air out of a beadlock backing away from a line.
Gil is accurate.
HTH, toolbag.

Why dont you learn to be a little more polite, None of your sorry post was necessary. and from reading your other posts, I have no reason to believe anything you type. I have a PM from someone who wishes to not get involved with this but said Im right.

Fault? what fault do I need to admit. Maybe you should take a 3rd grade english class and learn proper use of the english language.

And what does how he drove have to do with what was on the rig?

[rockwerks]

pretty typical of bgcntry72 does not have a real response so he hits me with negative rep because I disagree with him, but we cant expect more from him can we?

[Rev Den]

Eat up. You are incorrect and need to know that someone on-scene has a better view of the situation then you do looking at a picture.

Rev

Ohh.....an BG giving you bad rep??? I thought that is what rep was for....if you agree, you give green, if not you give red.

[imma honky]

Uh oh, not this all over again. People putting their buck fitty in where it doesn't really belong. Didn't this happen, oh say, a year and half ago or so from someone else who WASN'T there.

Hey if you cant provide proof Im gonna try to get it somewhere else. IM very curious now! also posted on pirates incase you are wondering. :laugh3:

[PhatXJ]

Though I havn't talked to him, or seen his rig in a while, I'm pretty sure I know that's Dave G's rig. Last time I talked to him he mentioned something about 60's and an Exo.

[rockwerks]

Thanks phatxj when ya find out moe let us know. IM very curious!

:mad: Does this mean we don't get to see the pic of the flopped Sami?

[dmorxj]

I was with him and if someone can tell me how to post some pics or host them I'd be glad to show ya some pics of him in purgatory and every where else on pink and in the quarry along with my rig, the green des moines offroad xj.

[rockwerks]

send em to me I will host and post for ya xjnation@yahoo.com

[dmorxj]

Just got to get them on my computer. How many do you want?

I believe XJNation has a theory as to how your pic is photochopped...

thanks anyway...

What a tool

btw...next time you wanna post links of my pics in my folder on other boards, ask for permission and copy and host on your own bandwidth...

MMMM grease. I will always be the first to admit when Im proven wrong, by the way I have 8 other pics from winterfest that I have been sent of a couple of rigs which psot should I put them in?http://fototime.com/%7B777E4D44-5B0B-4D9C-82D5-74D5D6367FD7%7D/picture.JPG

Grease dos not make a good after meal snack.

[XJ_ranger]

here is a pic of the guy who hasnt met Mo, Mo-Mentum flexing out on GREEN

Full Width, locked geared, exo'd, d60's front and rear, on Green right next to my mostly stock rig...

::shrug::

here he is flexing - about as much as Gil said that he would - and in all 1200x1600 res for all the 56k guys out there too....

I am not convinced.
Show me a pile of grease sitting on your tongue, and then maybe.
In the meantime, enjoi trolling the Midwest.
We cater to lonely fogies...ask around.

P.S. Do us a favor and head to the gym and look for Big-G. He will be the one 'benching' 465 lbs., deadlifting 610, and squatting a MiniCooper.

[Roxtar]

Wow, I missed more e-drama.
Hey nation-boy, what is your major malfunction, here?
Several people (who WERE actually there) ,including me, saw the bumpstops. He (the owner) was even asked about them, OK?
My question is; what is your tie to this? Did you build the rig for him? Is he your little brother? It's a nice looking, strongly built, rig that has some suspension issues, namely, it doesn't work.
When a rig that built is out of flex going over a 12" rock there's a problem, OK?


Pick your battles a little more wisely.

Here is a few of him and others wheelin I was emailed. It does appear to have a little more flex, than the other pic posted

[Roxtar]

It does appear to have a little more flex, than the other pic postedVery little.
Look again. Do you see any tuck whatsoever on this rig?
Check the angles. The roof is pretty much on the same angle as the axles in every pic. IOW, no flex.
Listen, I'm not trying to bag on the guys rig. It's a beautiful XJ and I'm guessing he will get it working right.
My issue is you. Again, why would you jump in the middle of this, talking $hit about something you have no idea about.
You weren't there.

And these pics arent even the right rig! this one flexes...

and the Exo-Cage Guy isnt even flexing as well as my rig did - there just isnt any stuff going on there... look at his axles inrelation to the body...

im not saying that it was a terrible rig, or that im not jellous - id piss my pants if he offered me a trade - im just saying that he needs to tune the suspention a little bit...

im just wondering why XJNATION, Why?

Well it appears he wishes to keep the tires off the body. Which has never been an issue on my rigs.. he does have decent down travel as seen in the first pic. There are alot of guys out there who have limited up travle a bunch not to this extent but still alot. I have always tried toset up the front that the spring is fully compressed before the shock bottoms out. I have never run extended bumpstops front or rear.

No Flopping was experienced.

Lessons learned:

1. I miss the 100" wheelbase
2. Remember to go back and finish welding
3. 33's and stock gears are hard on clutches.
4. straight pipes are loud
5. Hang on tight when dropping off a ledge with 80" wheel base (read #1)
6. BG is just as loud and obnoxious in real life...but entertaining
7. Stand back when Chewy is riding a quad.

[jjchgo]

damn tim the sami has never looked so good. nice work brotha. that thing is going to be a turd at the next corncross though :gag: then again you do that rock garden :D

hope you all had a good time.

Important point that was touched on, bears repeating...

HE WAS THERE!!!!

for that reason, I give him props.

BTW....XJNation...did you happen to get a call that we were being to loud around the campfire??

:D

NOpe no call! l and my bad on posting links that where not mine, got the wrong link from someone elses pic site not mine.

Thanks for being a complete fuking tool and screwing up my thread Brian.

Tim, that thing turned out wwwwaaaaayyyyyyyyy better than I thought it was gonna. Props to you Paula for getting some pics of JoAnn's Sammi.

I'm seeing serious problems this year in the field. Maybe I'll bring the Trans Am over and we'll romp it for a while (mmmm tuned port injection in the corn).

She'll still hold up in the corn with some front shocks....maybe

[4ward]

I see you got your flex on Tim :wave:

I'm thinkin' definate rollover potential whippin' that thing into a hairpin in 2nd at redline :laugh3:

[Flowers]

The Quiet Riot Suzuki's CornCross days are over. There is no way that thing could handle 60+m.p.h. through hair pins in a corn field. I'll be working on Zuki Trail below the pond for this years Infinifest. If I can get the 2WD MJ ready for the dirt track, it will replace high speed duties.

Flex is over rated.
