Dirty Harry 03-14-2002, 03:49 PM Who's rig is this? The back said 4Wheeler Supply and I thought that was Randy Ellis' shop but he is sporting the IFS buggy.

Looks like EVERYONE got narrowed up over the winter. I am interested to see if that results in less rollovers. I thought that Walker Evans was building a new truck with a V8 too. :confused:

It looks like that battery would melt being that close to the exhaust. Is it not as hot because of that coating?

their first rig did for a little while....
landusepbb 03-14-2002, 05:26 PM Just got back from the tech inspection, one other thing I noticed about the rigs now is they are shorter, lots lower COG, tucked up good underneath, big tires and no body int he way. I predict a lot less rolls. BTW, looked for you, Fat Bastard, you musta been in the bar or something. Jaffer went looking for you too, don't know if he found you!:smokin:

Okay this is just plain ridiculous. Nice low hoodline so you can see and then put a huge scoop on it so you block your forward vision. Who's stupid idea is that? :rolleyes:
rustycruiser 03-14-2002, 07:55 PM What kind of axle is this?

Don't know if it was his idea, but the rig belongs to Jeff Baucom, the "Educated Redneck".
scwafish 03-14-2002, 09:47 PM Is there any way to view those as a bunch of thumbnails? One at a time with my connection is an all day deal:(

The picture is of the rear suspension on Mitch Gunthrie's Cruiser, which was built by All-Pro.
Dirty Harry 03-14-2002, 10:23 PM If you think that purple thing is bad, look at the departure angle and suspension clearance on this rig. No wonder it is for sale!

Hmmmmmmmm, that center section did look like a"Toy" though.
I saw the steering stuff, but didn't recognize to outers.

I'll bet it's just a sheet of lexan that someone stuck in a break.

Well, the departure angle looks easy to fix. Just hack off the
tubing holding the cooler. As to the suspension, ????????????

If someone can make a hood like that with a break I suggest they start doing it because they will make a killing!!! I'm guessing is vacume formed, i don't see any other way to those radius' expecially the center hump
NE-RokToy 03-15-2002, 08:47 AM http://www.pirate4x4.com/trailreports/rrca_farmington02/thursday/Image056.jpg
These don't look like normal mud terrains to me, whats the deal?

It's a bone stock Mog axle. Doesn't look much like a Toy axle - at least- not if you've spent a couple hours a day rebuilding a toy axle for the past week or so. :p

RE:Todd 03-15-2002, 12:56 PM I'd say Sprint Car frame ala "Brutus" with sprint car "Mark Kinser" hood scoop.

They look like the normal Mud Terrain KM's to me, but probably in the 17" rim size.

the sidewall tread is different from any KM I've seen, maybe its just a 37" thing

Actually,
Thats Ian liljeblads new sand toy (departure dosn't matter )
It's for sale because EVERYTHING is for sale
But the thing that confuses me the most about you're rant is the suspension clearence comment
Please Explain

It makes more sense as a dune runner, I was just confused because it was mixed in with all of the pictures of the RCAA rigs. My suspension comment stems from how low the radius arms appear to hang down, but once again that is probably not a big deal in the sand. I -thought- that I saw a picture directly from the side of that buggy but I can't seem to find it now. :confused:

Why?
My guess is that with a spring getting longer as it is compressed this allows for it whilst keeping the rig a couple of inches lower to the ground thus keeping the centre of gravity lower for better stability

They look like Chuckie All Stars with aftermarket laces way:smokin: . what kind of traction do those offer in the rocks:D
Crusarius 03-18-2002, 09:08 PM there are more pics I posted at www.rockmodified.com (http://www.rockmodified.com)

I would say vacuum formed as well cause Lexan doesn't like to be cold bent past 90 deg. Makes it really brittle and will break with little force on it.

Can you give me a direct link to the directory where the pictures are, because I don't see Farmington RCAA listed from the main page. :confused:
Lance 03-18-2002, 09:28 PM The clear hoods are made by JP Offroad.
cj7jeep 03-18-2002, 09:47 PM I work at Coleman :usa: and am pretty proud of the Steel-belted coolers, but that guy in the yellow trailer queen is :rainbow: . What a waste of a good cooler.
OK I just read about it being a sand rig, you do need a lot of beer on the dunes.:beer: :beer:

Ummm... R U as dumb as I think you are??? That is most definately a toy diff on the bottom and a unimog axle on the top.. if you can see some similarities I'd love for you to share them. The last time I checked, toyota diffs weren't portal!:flipoff2:
Crusarius 03-19-2002, 08:47 AM Sorry for the bad link I was having problems lastnight wil be fixed tonight
