Sick Dog Racing Jeepspeed Build

[Vanimal]

the currie steel antirock arms are crap, especially the bent ones. Thought about trying the aluminum ones when i can afford some lol

 

[Larrythedog]

Great build! I recently bought a jeepspeed but after seeing your build I think it may be lacking some import design elements. I'm local to you and would love to see your jeep. Let me know if you would be available.

Bud

I just reaized my avatar says "Covina" still. Im moved to Norcal last two years ago. Sorry.

 

[Larrythedog]

To Do list:
1. Fix Anti rock arms.
2. Re-valve Compression on all four FOA’s.
3. Shorten the stroke on the front FOA bumps from 4" to 2".
4. Pull 8.8 and install a new Yukon 8.8 C clip Eliminator kit, Spool and new Yukon 513 ring and pinion.

 

[Larrythedog]

Started on the Yukon 8.8 c clip eliminator axle kit

Gutted

With the spool and 5.13s. Just waiting for may inch/pounds torque wrench to come from UPS so I can set the pinion bearing preload. I had one but lost it somewhere between SoCal and here.

While waiting for my torque wrench I started on the new Yukon bearing flanges.

Plasma cut roughly.

Ground

Yukon’s pressed on

Then the hardest part of this kit…..pressing on the bearing to the axel. Don’t try to do this in the garage unless you have a good quality 10-20 ton press.

Done

pitchurz no worky

fixed for ya

 

[Larrythedog]

Thats what I was looking for.

 

[dukie564]

Grey is boring. Paint that shit hot pink

 

[GrimmJeeper]

battleship grey is a classic color! every GM used to roll off the line with the engine painted that color

 

[Larrythedog]

Got the bumps out today without taking off the front coils. Because of the way I designed the fronts it allows them to come out from the top. Worked good except for the driver side. Had to pull off the master cylinder.

 

[POSJ]

That's an awesome design, I dig it. You going to re-enforce it more to keep it from breaking the welds around the mount holes?

 

[Larrythedog]

Its welded to the coil bucket on both sides. Then welded to the plate about an inch above that. Both the can and plate are welded on the thickest part of the whole unibody the coil bucket. Its should be strong enough. But ive been wrong before.....lol. I'll be watching this area carefully for movment as I do more testing. With shortening the bump stroke from 4 to 2 inches ill be increasing the bump pressure as well. Any sign of movment and ill tie it into engin cage.

 

[JeepinSeal]

Wow man that is one of the most awesome builds I've seen so far! I just read through the whole build. I'm not too far from you, down in Salinas here.

 

[Larrythedog]

Straightened the anti-rock arms. Made 1/4" plates to beef it up. Its just temporary to make sure its not going to hit again.

I shortened the links turnbuckles 3 inches.

 

[Larrythedog]

I made spacer for the bump stops out of 1 1/2" DOM tubing. I made 2" spacers and 1" spacers

Front bumps with 2" spacers.

Rear bumps with 1" spacers

 

[Larrythedog]

Revolved both front and rear shocks.
