My old FToy worked great, all depends on the loose nut behind the wheel...

D44 in front is the weak point, price seems pretty good tho.

Recovery every year gets more and more overwhelmed, we never know who will be out there assisting until close to the event. Ideally, everyone is self sufficient. Any "tows" for event participants are strictly to a staging area, and would assume someone you are wheeling with is capable of...

One option is the Hardcore pass. $200 (I think), covers daily park access, bands, in-park events, Vendor access, CartoTracks maps, etc and has it's own raffle for buggy-related stuff. plus the buggy-sized trash sack. Looks like registration opens May 1. You can access the trails and WE...

Bleeding procedure (from Hardline Crawlers, identical to what's on P4x4) Press down on the brake pedal Press and hold the cutting brake lever Purge the air from the caliper Close the bleeder while still holding the cutting brake Release the pedal but not the cutting brake Slowly pump the...

OBD Bluetooth dongles are $10 or so on Amazon, I have one and tie it in with TorquePro.

I mostly stop in 2nd now, 75:1 can push thru the brakes :) Yes, I'd like to be lower on occasion, but 90% of the time 75:1 is perfect, and use 2nd for throttle bumps. The new ratios would bump in 3rd, normal wheel in 2nd, crawl in 1st. There are also lower 1/2 ratios available for the C4...

Create a spreadsheet for your ratios, covering all your t-case options and trans options. I've done that for my next build, very useful info. Notice that for my current 700r setup, the Third L and First H overlap. The C4 ratios are specifically being chosen to NOT overlap.

I don't, but have considered them in the rear. If you can run your Nitrogen at a low enough pressure, then the impact from topping out the shocks isn't terrible. With the added front rebound, my fronts RARELY top out. The lighter rebound in the rear does top out. The shocks have a large/thick...

Boring standalone round gauges for oil pressure, trans temp, water temp. Nothing else needed IMO. Voltage is visible via a USB plug/monitor. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HDFJ9M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Envelope icon, upper right corner 🙂

Yes, the 3899 is a direct replacement. I have 6 on hand right now, but no guarantees for how much longer. AND no guarantee that RCV will have them stocked....usually they only have inventory when another larger order comes in (ie: me... lol) I don't have any restock plans, yet. AND, be aware...

Hey look, yer 10% of the way there ;) Drivetrain will be quick, then plumbing and wiring....which is takes forever!

weather is perfect right now too :)

My lowers and the chassis-side uppers just use weld in spacers for the 3/4 bolts. I haven't noted any binding with 16" air shocks, and I know Jesse builds some JHF Trails with 18" rear. Axle side uppers are a misalignment with a 5/8 bolt.
