Nothing to crazy to report recently. Work has been wild and busy. I am off on a sort of “expedition.” I am a commercial pilot and I’m about to embark on trans-Atlantic trip. I’m flying to NY first, then Iceland, then Israel, then Ireland, then back home. It will be a month long trip. Ill be...
Yea, I know it seems wrong, but its not. The king 2.5s wont mount properly on the 2nd gens with body up / shaft down. It wont fit with the spare tire mount and the mount for the shock on the frame wont fit the top of the shock body. I am working on cutting and welding in some beefy guards for...
It has been a very busy last few weeks. I got COVID, then 48hrs after feeling better I got food poisoning - super good time! I also got called out on work for a number of days that has just made me miss the opportunity to due some better posts. I will be posting better pics this weekend and I am...
I hope everyone is well out there. quick update, I went out this weekend for the truck true first shake down run with all the new suspension goodies in it. What a MASSIVE difference. I can mob dirt roads that are covered in washboards like its nothing. The new flex/travel I have is outstanding...
Well the truck is back from CJC Offroad, it came back late last night!! :D A BIG thanks to my brother for driving my truck up to CJC and back for me. I was working and was unable to do it myself so he did the long back and forth drive for me. I am sitting here having coffee waiting for the sun...
Not related to the dodge build, but over the last few years I have been learning how to fly a tail dragged and more focused on backcountry flying. This is like the”over landing” of aviation. I went with my Uncle and we flew into the backcountry strip called Red Creek here in Arizona. Thought...
Ok three updates.
1) Finally got around to installing new head light housings and converting over to LED lights. MASSIVE difference. Should have don’t that a long time ago. :cautious:
2) Here is the last picture of the truck before it gets ALL of the carli suspension, wheels and tires, and...
New front axel shaft came in. Project will be to delete the center axel disconnect that’s vacuum driven for the 4wd system. I will also install locking hubs at the same time. More pics of this project as the parts slowly trickle in. This will make the 4wd system in this truck extremely strong...
Its has been awhile, apologies. Things got a little crazy on the work side unexpectedly. We have not done a video for awhile for a number of reason, more on that later. For now, we just got done with a killer trip up to Angel Fire, New Mexico for some down hill mountain biking. We also stopped...
Side note: We have FINALLY been working on a video of our truck and the entire build out. The weather has been a pain, but it will be out in the next week or so.
BIG NEWS:
Ok over some heavy-heavy thought I am pushing forward into the build. I made a rather larger commitment yesterday and ordered the following items from CJC Offroad:
Carli 2.5 Pintop Suspension system. This system has King Shocks with reservoirs. Carlie Springs. Limit straps. I am torn...
