    Tube notcher suggestions for home shop

    I have that JD2 notcher with the Swag Goat Foot and the Reach Around. This combo allows you to really some crazy deep angle notches, just break off material part way through when using normal short hole saws. The Goat Foot helps when putting notches in bends. This notcher also holds flat stock...

    Tapered lug nuts vs conical washers for high steer arms

    I have a king pin Chevy 60 front with stock knuckles and high steer arms. I have the ARP studs and their tapered nuts holding them on. Obviously in future I'll move to stronger knuckles and associated arms but in the mean time, what do you think is stronger? Tapered nuts or conical washers with...

    Line Locks

    On my last TJ, and mounted the ball valve at the end of the short cable coming from the parking brake. That way the stock ebrake handle moved the valve. Worked great and fooled the inspection peeps here in Texas.

    I run one, buddy has 2 rigs and all rigs have LP GM 60 with this joint at the front drive shaft t-case end. Broke a lot of stuff but this joint has never been an issue.

    Parking brake

    I bought that park-lok and mounted at right under my seat for easy use. I have yet to get the thing to work properly. If I push brake pedal down, hold in park-lok button then release brakes, it won't stay engaged. I does hold pressure if I hold button in but bleeds off in a matter of seconds. I...

    Parking brake

    That is exactly how all us RZR peeps have done it. Many different kits out there but all of them simply hold brake peddle down. I'm in process of building one for my buggy. All 4 wheels are braked. The one I have on my RZR has 2 notches/settings. Light pressure for when you trailer, a harder...

    4 Link Adjustment

    So a follow up as to what I have learned. The mounting holes at the chassis side of their subframe allow 2" total change between the upper most hole and lower most hole. With the upper arms in upper most hole, they are just barley down hill to the chassis at ride height and this seems to...

    4 Link Adjustment

    I worked with Glenn from Rad flow, gave him corner weights, shock angles and such. He built my shocks based on my build. They hopefully are a close starting point. After looking at the rear Goatbuilt truss, I think I am starting to see where my issue might start. This idea is just based on pics...

    4 Link Adjustment

    New build, I used the Goatbuilt subframe. 3 upperlink bolt holes front and rear at frame side. Buggy is to the point of riding around neighborhood, testing all systems. I'm getting the traditional torque over to the right under hard acceleration in 2wd. Been trying to google set ups and not...

    Searched to death, grooving stickies sx

    Looks exactly like what we did but we had much narrower grooves. We were concerned about the tires chunking really bad so keep the gap narrow trying to just get the added flex. Tires have been all over Clayton, Burris, and Johnson Valley. Prob 12 to 15 wheeling trips and look good. Several...

    Searched to death, grooving stickies sx

    We have been running a set for the past year where we just cut the center lug into 2 pieces directly across the tire. We think we see an improvement. The tire seems to be able to flex a little easier while running a little higher pressure. The buggy weighs appx 4500 lbs, were running around 4 to...

    SPIndle nut tech?

    When you get the first nut with the pin set where you are happy, slide that lock washer up into place. If it does not line up, slide it off and flip it 180 and slide back on. The holes have an offset vs the key way. If this doesn't work, rotate that first nut the smallest fraction of a turn...

    SPIndle nut tech?

    Those little pins are just roll pins press into the nut. You can tap tap on it and push a little more out to get you back to square one.

    Fuel cell and body panels

    I was just about to post up the same question on the body panels. How about floors? Any reason to go a little thicker? I don't have doors on the buggy so I foresee putting my full weight on the floors as I get in and out. I do have decent support in the floor board area but??

    HELP ME MEASURE MY CORNER WEIGHTS
