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.

7/8 shank, 3/4 bolt. Uppers and lowers are the same. Lowers are ALL RH thread, uppers are LH/RH mixed for adjustability. Lowers should be all RH, otherwise you'll spend every trip tightening jam nuts.

7/8-3/4 for my heims. (I think...) heimjoints.net is local, so I shop there :) 3/4-5/8 for the steering heims (I think...) Thus far, I've had one bend. They ARE due for replacement after 2-1/2 years, links and steering.

I ended up doing the live coverage, which was tons of fun, but eliminated any chance of pics. Had a good turnout, tho I know a few competitors wanted to attend that ended up with last minute issues due to travel or build progress. Full results: Western Series Round 1 - WE Rock Events The...

very cool....SO many things to think about, especially at this stage :)

42/20s is 275# of water at top of wheel, plus the 150# tire/wheel combo (estimate) My portal rig is around 3800#, with a 58/42 bias running front water just under half way. My front tire/wheel/water combo weighs 350# (scaled for accuracy)

My trans pan damn near contacts the belly skids. Slam that as low as you can. Then slam it lower :)

what's not clearing in the front? Top of axle tube to bottom of chassis tube is 9-1/2" on mine at ride height (3" of shock bump)

Interesting fun fact: The detents in a factory D300 are not equally spaced. The detents in the MM300 ARE equally spaced. A design flaw I pointed out early in their development that was never addressed.

Got pix of what you did??

Rookie 😜 Sweet ride, and good choices for the future move 🙂

https://buggythings.com I have 42's, 40's, 38's and 37's all in stock in Toquerville. Currently, 4ea of the 42's aren't spoken for (I have 16 on hand). There are 33 remaining in the warehouse. And per a text from the EVP tonight, the next production run of 378 42" black labels is due June...

Working on a queen platform soon 🙂

Love the paint job :)

I know some guys who have guided for their TX events. Guessing it's not geared towards the buggy crowd ;)
