Daaaaaamn you should have taken me!!!! I wanna see this thing work!Went for a quick shake down run yesterday, out in DHS. All I can say is WOW
Went on a road a little less than a mile long, 2 foot deep whoops, about 6 to 8 feet apart, at around 50mph. The nose stayed up on the tops of the whoops, and the rear tires felt like they never left the dirt. Felt really smooth.
Adjusting the bypasses will only make it better, but I don't see the D30 living for much longer.
Sorry, no pics or vid...it was a last minute trip.

You know...the thought did cross my mind. We took the race jeep out for a spin as well. All in all, we spent 2 hrs on the road to drive the jeeps for 20 minutes, barbecued some carne asada and came home.

Haha damn you. Well you know there's a pretty good section over in Hemet that has some decent woops if you ever want to hit it up!You know...the thought did cross my mind.

My team mates are trying to get me to race it in the 3700 class :wierd:
Clive said he would consider it, but there aren't even any other 3700s entered to race yet.
Personally, I don't think my junk is up to race standards yet....especially with the bent D30 and front 7100 shocks, lol.

Just got done mounting some King 2.5 double bypasses in the front last night. Had to make all new shock mounts, that came out pretty sweet. I have to get some longer resi hoses today so I can get those mounted tonite.

I've already got a Ford 289 in the jeep, which is also lighter than the 4.0.

Sorry to be a NOOB, but what rear glass is that?

It's the hanneman two door/commanche glass. I just cut the bedsides in half so I can still open the doors.

first off, this is absolute sex, killer job...
just curious
any pics of how the DS sits in there at full compression? reason i ask is i wonder with the abuse you guys dish out on these things if there is a way to cross brace between the upper link mounts on inside of frame rail so make em a lil more rigid, supported?....

The driveshaft is just about straight at full compression. My "frame rails" are super reinforced on the insides...my front control arm mounts, trans crossmember, and rear upper control arm mounts are all tied into this. I did my reinforcements long before any of the aftermarket stiffeners were available, so I opted to do the inside of the frame rails to handle the raised belly trans mount.
I don't think I have any pics like you're looking for.
Thanks for the props.
