What pump is it? my understanding was they could not handle the rpm's that the engines turn.

Scott's Custom Off Road

several of the racers run them and they turn aloooooot more rpm's than I will be

Roger has one on his single seater and it sees all the rpm’s

That is what i was concerned about also, so i have tested it real good and it is great.

Thats a regular gear pump with Scott's support bearing.
Theoretically gear pumps do not like to be spun fast, but given how long your average rockcrawler will be driven in its life, they have been proven to hold up quite well.

What will happen in the long run is that the gears will wear and the pump will internally bypass (problematic at low rpm).

@Timjus is using one and I beleive he got something like 5 years out of his before changing it.

The support bearing is called an overhung load adapter, common part.

not sure who scott is, but I assume that's a specific one made or modified to mount the automotive ribbed pulley ?

I have mine on the shelf yet to be installed, good to hear good things about this pump.

 

[smbroady82]

Chugging right along ..

Chris whipped me up a custom console and has been working on the panels. He loves inset panels btw...

Looking good Stephen. Can't wait to see this thing once it's finished. It will be super nice no doubt.

What no cup holders??

 

[wizzo]

What no cup holders??

Gonna try. Pretty tight between the seats. In front of the shifter, I'm not sure how I feel about that location.

It's a rock bouncer, not a Jeep.

 

[extremetownie]

I thought it was a trail rig.

 

[Bebop]

Looking good !

They're en route... worst case scenario, I'll throw a few on the A-pillar like all my previous rigs.

BK magnetic koozies will hold a full coors light.

With coors light, you can do both.

That is a BADDD looking machine Broady, outstanding work Chris.

 

[smbroady82]

Some more panel action knocked out this week (y), just lacks the roof and that part will be complete

 

[wizzo]

Couple more.
