GOt it working and it works great. The 2002 Dodge 3500 MC bolts right up and the lines hook right up. I took the push rod and swapped it with the same thread Grade 8 bolt that was 3/4inch longer and then adjusted it until I got the right pedal feel.

The first MC was a rebuilt and must have been bad, plus we had air that the first three tries could not get out. now it works good.

Im going to go to the Pick a part next to my house... score

Did the proportioning valve work out ok with the higher volume? Or did you swap that over too?

THanks... and /hijack off...

Have not touched the propotioning valve yet, it works great with out touching it, and that is with 4 oversixed disks in the rear. I bet it would even get tighter in the rear if I removed the o-ring.

I think I will leave it for now.

Status:

Got the air compressor in and the air lines all hooked up, hooked up the wires for the front e-locker, machine gun mount is finished, decals, and instruments are done.

When I get back from TTC I will have to fabricate my rear fenders and then go see if I can get it safety inspected for street legality.

WOOT WOOT!!! Almost done!!

[sprueitt]

So close to being complete, but it is time to go to Top Truck Challenge in CA, so we are done for now.

[Skerb]

there is so much potential there, I just hate you rushed through it and settled... cant wait to see it when you have time to finish it.

Begin:
Looks great, been following this from the beginning, gets my first post forsure.
End, back to lurker status.

[sprueitt]

Putting it on the trailer and heading to CA. We will continue this when we get back. We test it out and see how it does.

Nice job. If 'settling' is defined as completing a vehicle to that standard, then more of us should be settling.

This off the Diesel or the V8???

LOL

Well Alex and I took it out to Top Truck Challenge, not to compete of course, but to use it to get around and to test it out. It worked better than I expected, the rear axles articluated further than I thought and we broke the middle driveshaft CV. I guess I need to put in limiting straps.


Here is the video of the first test drive.

2002 Dodge 3500 Cummins.

So we just got back from Top Truck Challenge and it was epic. We tested the jeep out and used it to get around. Here is Alex trying it out:






Now to finish teh fenders over the rear, e brake, and shift levers.

[sprueitt]

Put in new custom cables and got E-Brake done. Now to work on the 205 shift lever, and the fenders.

[sprueitt]

Fenders and tool boxes. This thinner ga mettal is tough, To keep it from warping I did one small section at a time.

[attentionwhore]

Badass! The design of the flares should clean up the wheelwell opening, nice job.

[sprueitt]

So we headed homeward to visit family and do some wheeling and hiking in my old stomping grounds, the San Jaun Mountains in Southern CO and Northern New Mexico. We put the jeep in the Bayfield parade supporting my brother in laws autobody shop. Here are some pictures of our wheelin the Zombi Killer.

Here we are headed home.







Coming down Balck Bear pass. Tight switchbacks!!!










We had to limit the flex in the rear due to CVs binding...bummer..

If they are tall or sit on thier knees for the picture like my daughter is doing. The rear seat is raised so that an adult can operate the machine gun(not pictured here) that mounts on the top of the roll bar.

[The Phenx]

Looks 1000x better with the flares.

Now come gimme a ride, and a lil more hand to hand combat training.. im a lil rusty. Its been 20 years. lol

[sprueitt]

VA is a long ways away, we don't do many Tactical Martial Arts seminars out there, but if you are ever out here, I'll take you on some trail rides in Moab and we can brush up on your hand to hand combat.
