did you raise motor at all with the flat belly?

85dhor · 11-03-2011, 09:37 PM

Mmm nope. You don't "have" to raise it. What's an inch or two gonna do?? Decrease the angle closer to factory like what 5* if that?

drewp · 11-03-2011, 10:29 PM

Didn't know lol I won't raise it then

85dhor · 11-04-2011, 09:05 AM

I just didnt bother with it. Everyone says to, to get it back close to the
Same angle/level as stock. But in all reality when you have duals and go flatbelly, you raise the rear most part of the case (the flange) like 6-8". So what is raising the front an inch or so gonna even do. Not really anything. Theoretically if you want close to same angle/level of factory setup, however much you raise the caseyou should raise the motor. Which is not possible at all.

83crawler12 · 11-04-2011, 10:04 AM

very true, well does your cases make sounds when you drive?

85dhor · 11-04-2011, 10:43 AM

On the highway no not any more than a normal case. Like mine In 4wd almost all duals make a faint sound. But you gotta remember my space there's only about 3/4" between the cases and my tunnel skin (which is 1/8" aluminum) if I had like Berliner or carpet or something it'd be quiet as hell.

83crawler12 · 11-04-2011, 11:11 AM

alright well cool ill figure it out when the time comes

85dhor · 11-04-2011, 11:16 AM

Fer sure It's cake to do

85dhor · 11-09-2011, 03:25 PM

I ended up picking up 9 sticks last friday to start my cage. After cleaning up my buddies garage and mounting the bender over the weekend, I finally started to bend some tube. This is the very first time I've bent tube and I think I'm doing pretty good so far. Sliders are bent up and also the main hoop. Gotta re work the main where it ties into the slider still. I don't like how it looks. Criticism is always welcome.

drewp · 11-09-2011, 04:40 PM

looking good dude.

85dhor · 11-09-2011, 10:20 PM

Thanks man. I should have more done by tomorrow evening. And ALOT this weekend.

Mr Stubs · 11-10-2011, 06:27 PM

Cap the ends of the sliders if you havent done it already....

Yeah I'd snag a few gussets from ya man. And you talking bout the weekend of the 19th? Or the 26th?

drewp · 11-11-2011, 10:13 AM

hell idk either one i guess or both

85dhor · 11-11-2011, 10:39 AM

Haha I'll see how fast I can get my cage done.

and I think a group of guys I know are going from Oregon city area the weekend of turkey day (26th), Im not sure exactly what day. But if I get my truck done by next weekend (19th), I'm down to go both weekends. A buddy was just up there over the weekend and there was about 2" of snow by the trail saddleup?
