WHAT SIZE FUEL CELL IS THAT?MATT :) The fuel tank should be right at 17 gal with the notch for the exhaust and the taper on the top. Here is a pic that also shows the mechanical quantity gauge that I used. MetalMender 08-09-2002, 05:43 PM Originally posted by coyote Got spec's on that ride? wheelbase, weight and what not....very curious how much if any weight you lost during the transformation..... Ok The WB is 106" and the weights when we scaled it where 1400 lbs on the front and 1200 on the rear,also that is sprung weight no pair of D60's and no 38'5 sx's. Unfortunately I did not weight it before I cut it up so not sure on any weight difference. I have a 305 sbc,465 combo mated to an atlas with 32 spline front output. The 60's are 5.13's with a detroit up front and a strange 35 spline spool in the rear with dutchman 1.5's. I'll keep trying to get some more pics up if the server ever lets me :( rich coyote 08-09-2002, 09:15 PM Dang that seems real light for a Cruiser, might copy a design similiar to yours, WOLF359, and Lance's but I need space for tools and utility gear, what are your plans, if you don't mind me asking? I've seen the camo boxes but prefer something a little different like a trailer box or along thos lines....

I've seen the camo boxes but prefer something a little different like a trailer box or along thos lines.... I used an "action packer" before with the stock tub but with my placement of the flowmaster it would melt so I will probably make a custom fit diamond plate aluminum box to store extra recovery gear and tools. The only spares I will carry will be a few u joints, a stub shaft and driveflange, no more 4 birfs and both front inners, both rear axle shafts, and 2 spare driveshafts. rich MetalMender 08-10-2002, 07:56 AM OK lets try this again. here is the filler cap that I used, might look familiar to pilots :D davefj40 08-10-2002, 08:17 AM nice work rich dave wngrog 08-10-2002, 08:21 AM Originally posted by 2car I can't wait to see Kate set up like that!:D Not this truck unless I roll it and total the body..... If I ever build that "light" competition rig...... wngrog 08-10-2002, 08:23 AM Originally posted by MetalMender I used an "action packer" before with the stock tub but with my placement of the flowmaster it would melt so I will probably make a custom fit diamond plate aluminum box to store extra recovery gear and tools.

Build it heavy duty and spare parts are not needed as much. MetalMender 08-10-2002, 10:56 PM Lets try this again Pic from the rear MetalMender 08-10-2002, 11:57 PM WTF :confused: I reply to the post and it won't even show that I did on the main page. Oh well must be a bandwidth thing:( davefj40 08-11-2002, 06:13 AM hey rich, are you going to the neuroc thing im sept? dave MetalMender 08-11-2002, 07:21 PM Originally posted by davefj40 hey rich, are you going to the neuroc thing im sept? dave Yea I'll be there, I planned on competing but might not make it with everything thats going on so I'll just hang and watch steve get it. You comming up for it? rich FLEXYSAMMY 08-12-2002, 06:09 AM RT That thing is sooooooooooo SWEEET!!!!!!!!:D davefj40 08-12-2002, 04:29 PM yea, i'm gonna try to get up there on saturday. do you have to pay admissoin just to get in and watch? dave rustycruiser 08-12-2002, 05:36 PM I am gonna try make it up as well. My junk is not up to competing though. Not by a longshot. I think the NeuRock website said they are charging $10 for spectators. davefj40 08-13-2002, 11:36 AM cool, be nice to meet some people from the site. you'll get a kick out of our friend steve and his yj. dave rustycruiser 08-13-2002, 01:05 PM I wonder how they are gonna do it? Are spectators gonna have to park in the wheeling staging area and hoof it in? Also, what trails are they gonna use for the courses? Some of them are pretty far apart. Especially for a fat, lazy guy like me. :D | |
