4Running Daily's Build Thread

That was awesome. I want the rear wheels off the ground. I should have a crap ton of travel with those shocks. I think I'm currently using my brake line as a limit strap though.

Those won't last very long like that. Or the shock with the little bolt on top.

Should I upgrade to 2 brake lines

I just tied some 550 cord around my axle and the frame. Cheapest limit straps NA.

(I didn't really do this...I am still using my brake line.)

That's a good method. I used a ratchet strap at one point in time. That one was more of a trail fix but it worked for awhile.

Came to watch the video hoping for a Huckfest audition.

Left disappointed... Looks like a cool area- I like to go fast.

I was expecting the same thing.....:shrug:

It better be a better huck then what you did at Azusa cyn. At least get the rear wheels off the ground, use those new rear shocks some.

I tried.

So now that you've had some proper testing, how are those wheelers bumpstops?

They're really soft. I hit that jump at 55mph.

Do you have rear bump stops?

Where were those pictures taken? Looks like we were both east of the city yesterday.

Those railroad jump pics make me cringe haha. Reminds me of Blake and I a few years ago

I don't get any traction on dirt, these skinny mud terrains just sink into sand.

Giving those ball joints (and everything else) a good workout there.

That's the back of Sycamore. On the very far left side of the main wash.


Update: I bought more parts that I don't need

FJ Cruiser Stainless Steel Lower Shock Shin Guard - ICON Vehicle Dynamics

Haven't had a chance to see if these fit or not, but I'll be back in Escondido to mount them this weekend.

Damn those are some pricey pieces of metal...is that cutting into your 35" fund? Because of so I do not approve.

I bought them used haha. I don't buy new parts anymore, those are expensive. This was a complete impulse buy.

Paid $80 shipped.

 

[SCRunner12]

Ok that's a lot better. Yeah only parts I typically buy new are maintenance parts that you can't really find used.
