OK my Super winch T2000 and 1/4 synthetic line are on the way..

IM ging to be mounting this up under the body and over the rear axle, I will use it to comress the rear axle for steep decents, i May also use it as a rear anchor, and to tie my truck down on the traielr, not sure yet..

 

[mightymg]

OK OK OK , I went and did a little flex test at a place just 3 blocks from my house and here are the results..


BUMP STOPS!! NEED THEM SOON!

Rear lower coilover mounts are good to go, I just made new ones, and raised them 3 inches. The rear uppers need to be remade 2 inches longer, as you can see from the pic the spring comes unseated from the upper adjuster. And at full flex, i still ahve 3 1/2 inches or so of unused exposed shaft..

Front coilovers, are good, I think I'm happy with how I have them set up, the suspension will drop a hair more with the winch on.

great frame clearance, no spring rubbing...

Fender trimming!! I'M not very close, I need to take 1 more inch off the front, and I need to take about 2 off the rear...

All seems well, I will get a way better feel for everything next weekend when I make it out to do a full trail run..

i would have never thought of that. of course, that isn't saying much.

been enjoying the thread. i'm certainly glad someone has the time to work on their truck. I haven't even seen mine in 3 months:ack:

 

[mightymg]

Thanks..

Alex has a rear winch set up like that on his buggy and it works great, I have the room so I figured I might as well do it, since im doing all this other stuff..

 

[DiscoveryXD]

There's all sorts of rig around here using small ATV style winches to compress the suspension.


Looking great Lane, can't wait to see it on some good 'ol Con granite!

nice job laners :applause:

Lane, you might consider a second hold down winch for the front.
Mine helps immensely with climbing. It really cuts down on the front end unloading when things get vertical.

You saw the difference on Green Day.
I almost made it up that climb after I finally remembered to winch it down.

Yeah Im just trying to figure out how to get one in there with a full front body..

 

[mightymg]

OK more prgress today, its almost trail ready for my shakedown run saturday.

( got my rear fender caps drilled and bolted, remotes mountes, rear fenders trimmed, and all the coilover heim spacers in..


\Yeah yeah I know it doesnt sound like i did much, but I eded up helping G4Yota put a lift and 35s on his rangie.. whew bit job from stock.. anyways... My old 35s look sexy on this bad boy..

OME hd rear springs in the front for 4 inches of lift, and ome 764 with 1 inch spacer in the back.. ( needs a 2 incher though)..

 

[G4YOTA]

Broken rover not so broken......but that dang pump!!!!!!!

I remote mounted mine.
There's got to be somewhere you can fit one.

 

[mightymg]

Once I get my spreader bar for the coilovers I may be able to find a way to use that as a upper anchor

 

[mightymg]

OK Shake down run number one is complete! WOW WOW WOW!! this thing is unbelievable, it wheels amazing. We have a obsticle called waynes world which is pretty gnarly.. I made it up first try, I tried it with 35s before, and no go.. anyways, after I made it, a jeep buggy on 37s, 60s, and creepy crawlers tried and couldnt get it untill about the 15th try, he ended up breakign his power steering and front brake lines..

Suspension! Well all I have to say is GO RANCHO!! amazing, the ride control was great, the dampening was outsatanding, and the high speed stuff! OHH let me tell ya, we hit a frontage road and were hauling ass back tothe trailer when I saw at the last minute a Tripple.. Three very deep whoops.. well at that point it was too late to brake so I hait the skinny petal and we blew over them, after me and ,my passenger looked at eachother and went DAMN!!!! It was so smooth, coilovers are absolutely amazing.. I am sooo happy....... here are some pics..

Special thanks to keith at Rovertracks.. your drive train is AMAZING!!!! I BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THAT TOY STUFF no breakage!!!

Brad at ROXTAR FAB! Your Front bumper is AMAZING!! dude I smashed it on waynes world today numerous times.. NO bends nO moving! Absolutely great product

Rancho suspension.. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! the feel and dampening was Great im not changing anything as far as C/Oers Go.
