project" 3 link" finally comes to a close

[Zak.Taylor]

Housing hell!!!! Jb weld that mutha trucka!

[TheBigDogg]

Maybe we should do a garage day (or weekend ) up in Rogerville and get the runner back on the trail , I am sure he misses wheeling

[Uncle Cracker]

thanks bigdog, but, i'm not spending a nickle on the runner until the pickup is complete

we could do a shop day/ weekend in rogerville
when all of my parts are here
and bust that sucka out in a few hours

i've got my tube bending guru, my bro, my bro-inlaw, and the owners of the shop all lined up
for the big day,,,,,just don't know exactly when that's gonna happen.
the loan is approved, but the check has not hit my bank yet. it may sit in my bank for a week then i'll order all of the parts at one time
and pray everything is in stock

[Crazy Sammy]

special thanks to my bro., jeff, bernardo, chris and steve,,,, and even josh made it up on sunday to help out

[abendx]

Fuck yeah.... that's coming together nicely Roger. Hope it's ready for JV next month.

And Josh must like you better than me.

[Uncle Cracker]

i'm trying, i'm trying

i can only work on it 2 days a week unfortunately




and when we get home from "Infected" gatherings at 2am, back at the shop at 7am,
you know it's hard to focus

i could really use an expert when it comes to the "spring rate" thing. over here, we're doing alot of guessing

[Desert Dog]

[quote="rgacord"]i could really use an expert when it comes to the "spring rate" thing. over here, we're doing alot of guessing [/quote]
You can use the truck scale at my work to get your front and rear gross weights, then use the spring rate calculator on Pirate4x4. Then after all of that, it still won't be perfect and you will go a little up or down in spring rates and pressure. Make sure the shocks are valved for Rock Crawling rather than Desert racing from the start.

[Uncle Cracker]

the shop i'm working out of has 4 corner scales
so i can get down to the nitty-gritty as far as sprung and un-sprung weights and balance side to
side. the owner says we can put a scale on the
press with each spring to find out what they are rated at. the springs are hyperco, but no other info is on the springs. all 4 coil overs are off of a rock buggy, but all 8 springs seem to be the same
rate, so i'm not sure what i have

[Crazy Sammy]

LOOKING GOOD ROGER IM GLAD I GOT TO HELP! I LOVE B-RAD AND ROGER THE SAME I JUST NEEDED TO STAY IN CELL SERVICE!

[Uncle Cracker]

huh,,,,,,,,,,sounds like we're brewing up a "threesome"

[abendx]
