Next comes a lift. It sat like this for about a year while i finished wearing out my tires and saved up money for the duratracs

Then came fog lights

Then i warped my routers and put these on

next came tires, first trip out with the new shoes

lets get a pick with it on flat ground so i can see how she sits!
looks great. what are you measurements front and back from ground to fender?

 

[MTDewX8]

how do you like the 890's. I think they there a little stiff.

my 881's are being replaced caues they were supposed to put in 882's cause I did get a bumper and winch. (winch not installed yet)

I just started my build thread and there are some pics of my new CBI front bumper.

really want the rear too.

sat in there shop for 4 days watching the creation.

Ill try and get a pic of it sitting on level ground, its raining and i dont feel like going out side. Ill get the measurements when it stops raining too.

As far as liking the 890's they are good, I wish they were just a little be longer, they sag for me, i have to keep air in the bags to keep it level. i might swap them out for some 891's. Your bumper looks great too.

lookin good twitch

 

[THEREALTOR1]

Great looking rig twitch. You don't see many of that color, so its always nice to see one in as good of shape as yours.

PS: I vote that this be your designated smiley

[JohnsD90]

^lol!

 

[twitchee2]

Here is the on level ground pic for you guys, i know its sagging...

Then im working on a OBA system. Heres the compessor and its mount. Came out perty sweet if you ask me. Im gonna put a 2-3gal tank under the body on the xfer case cross member then hook it up to a couple air chucks on each side. Im going to eventually hook up all my wiring to an arduino micro controller (mini computer) and control all my VSC, fan and the air system/on the fly airbag controller + air horn. gonna be sweet when i get the time to do it.

The mount

in place

where it bolts to(not installed yet, gotta figure out the wiring first.)

 

[fightman80]

Looking good man! :banana:

 

[twitchee2]

the arduino project is about to being, Picked this up yesterday, should clean up my wiring pretty good.

Now the project starts to begin, first order, gotta figure out ho to mount this thing....

 

[twitchee2]

not much as far as the build goes, but i got the compressor all installed.

on another note, i picked my self up a new toy for $3600, 05 honda R12 with 45hrs

 

[CaliCal]

curious...the fan fins just snapped?

 

[twitchee2]

long time sense an update. I havent done anything sense the last update except i ditched the efan and arduino project, just never had the time.

No, i did a water crossing and i guess i went to slow and the blade hit the water and broke.

on other news. The duratracs have 35k on them, should make it 60-70k miles

 

[mkruse7678]

nice stance

Do you have the top spacers on the front coils to make it 3" or just the 881? looks good!!

 

[twitchee2]

yes there are the top plate spacers in the front. Ive also got 10mm trim packers in the back.

 

[Hepar]

Great build. Not sure how I've missed it. Dig the compressor install. Nice spot out of the way.
