    Spare parts rock bouncer/crawler?

    Hell yeah.. 460 4spd 5.13's.. my buggy woulda been 429/460 powered but got a good deal on a 5.3 early on in the build.. how do you plan to feed the 460? Carb? Ford efi? F.A.S.T.?... something to consider.. my bouncer started out as a junkyard build, but escalated quickly.. the more you hang...

    90's throw back....Manche build

    Your tiggin is lookin pretty good. Glad to see that lil diversion 165 can get it done, I've wanted one for a long time, but I've been spoiled by the big sycrowave at work I can use anytime, so I'm spending my money on buggy parts that I can't make for now, haha.. It looks like you're still...

    2.0 air's for a bouncer style crawler?

    This is what I'm after.. Took me a while, but I finally got my head around spending a paycheck on a pair of shocks.. My buggy is only 3/4 done, so I can still move weight around too.. If Ryan can get me close, I'll finally have what I need to finish the chassis.. I will be buying from...

    2.0 air's for a bouncer style crawler?

    I flexed it out as good as I could by myself tonight.. I've settled on 20 degrees back, and 22 degrees in. 7" of up travel will put my belly at 20" and it will use all of a 16" shock without letting the 43's eat the springs at full stuff and full lock.. Thanks again for the help. I'm getting...

    2.0 air's for a bouncer style crawler?

    Drivetrain is a 5.3/700/241, 115" wheelbase, front axle center is 8" ahead of the harmonic balancer bolt, there will be a 75lb winch directly Obove the front axle. I'm hoping for around 7" up travel.. I can get angle measurements and whatever else could help when I get home from work tonight...

    2.0 air's for a bouncer style crawler?

    Alight guys, just finished up 2 60 hour weeks at the fab shop, so payday is lookin good for my buggy. I'm gonna order a pair of fox 2.0x16x7/8 emulsion coilovers with 16x150 over 16x200 springs for the front to get a baseline on spring rates... Am I on the right track here?

    2.0 air's for a bouncer style crawler?

    Hey. Guys, after my "why are foa's so cheap" thread turned me away from them, then turned into a kinda for sale thread., then being laid off for two months,. I've decided to throw some airshocks on my buggy to hopefully be ridin by July.. I haven't put it on scales yet, but from resting on mock...

    Why are FOA's so cheap?

    I've got my buggy about as far as I can without putting some shocks on it.. I'm on a very tight budget but I really wanna wheel this thing by July.. It's a bouncer style chassis, 5.3/700r4/241/ tons, 43 non sticky's.. I don't know what to do for shocks, it's fairly light, so fox 2.0 airs...

    "Note 91" Bouncer build

    Awesome thread here.. Gives me motivation to keep workin on mine.. I have basically the same combo, 5.3/700/241/tons.. Do you ever shift your t case? I don't see a shifter in your pics, thinkin about just leaving mine in 4lo unless someone talks me out of it.. Also wondering what you guys...

    Pics of your shops/garages/specs

    The chicken wire is a good idea.. Most of the shops I've worked in up here in MN are built that way, the ones without the wire all have spots where the vapor barrier let go and there's fiberglass hangin..

    2 Piece Driveshaft Phasing/Alignment

    You'll be fine then.. I don't think you'll even notice a vibe at trail speeds, especially with a tight carrier and new joints.. Sharper angles will stress em more, but it's nothin compared to what we do with axle joints after a 5:13 or whatever reduction.. ;)

    2 Piece Driveshaft Phasing/Alignment

    It's hard to tell from the pic, how's the angle gonna be on the middle joint at full bump? As long as they can't bind I'd run it.. Still running square tube shafts on my brothers buggy with retarded pinion angles for ground clearance and die grindered the yokes so they don't bind.. They click...

    MAF delete on stock 5.3?

    Thanks guys.. I will leave the MAF wires in the harness, and just get emissions and VATS deleted. I left the engine stock, so hopefully the factory tune will keep it reliable and reasonably bulletproof..

    MAF delete on stock 5.3?

    So I have a re-gasketed bone stock '01 5.3 Tahoe motor sittin in my bouncer/trail rig chassis, I didn't get the maf sensor with the engine.. Are you guys useing a maf, or getting it tuned out? From what I understand, it only reads at a constant throttle position/vehicle speed to fine tune the...
