Another build thread.. Shamu rebuild

Good deal. But I thought you wouldn't break it?

 

[Smash Hole]

I didn't break it, the drill did

I'm doing some testing on some amber lenses. I threw this in the 12" double row this morning. Looks promising.

 

[OutkastBoss]

Man I really like this build !

 

[XJosh95]

First thing that came to mind: Holy shit, dude.

 

[Smash Hole]

Thanks dudes!

Well it moved under its own power today. Shocks are charged to about 260 psi and have about 5" of up travel. I may bump it up a little more.

 

[Smash Hole]

Also the ride is incredible now. The rear absolutely sucks in comparison. The bilsteins poking through the floor in the back feel like crap now. I'm tempted to try a different shock.

[kmanxj5050]

I also what??

K "thats a d30 with one chromo to you!" Man

 

[Smash Hole]

Bumped up the charge in the shocks to 280psi. I think I'm happy with it for now. Also threw the spare and hi lift back in the back. I've got some new lines for the assist and I need to drain all the 10w30 out of the steering system and fill it back up with PS fluid.

Sweet poser shot

Did you switch out to nitrogen yet?

 

[Smash Hole]

Did you switch out to nitrogen yet?

Nope, still running the Argon.


I've been eyeing some bilstein 7100 12" short bodies to replace the 5125's in the rear. I want to try the 360/80 valving. Has anyone have experience with this valving in the rear?

My only other option was an FOA 2.5 in a firm/firm valving, but I can only fit a 10" FOA without redoing the hoops whereas I can fit a 12" Bil.

 

[RAM-ROD]

Or you could buy the 12" FOA's then when they do not fit sell them to me for half price

Built some inner fenders today out of some scrap. Also mounted the ECU, coolant overflow, hooked up the rest of the grounds, and cleaned up the hood cuts.

Did a light check after hooking up the grounds

My buddy Tom "Charlie Sheen" spotted this on Facebook by some foreign exchange student.

I'll take that as a compliment

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Lol, "proper Michigan winter beater"

 

[REWSTER]
