yeah, charge your computer it says low battery
you trying to copy me? lowers on top of the axle, uppers sloping down...Quote:

I'd work on getting that -6 degrees closer to 0 also. Looks good though!
I'm fixing to revisit the Patrols pretty soon
Yeah, I didn't plan on putting the uppers on top of the axle but it gives me better numbers.
As the axle droops the anti squat decreases would should keep the rear end from bouncing, vice versa as the axle crompresses
Why do you suggest moving the uppers forward of the axle centerline? and yes I can do that
Will pushing the uppers forward help to keep your pinion from dropping during droop?
What are you going to use as link ends?
Just ran across these on tx4x4.

From what I remember, it keeps the roll axis closer to the middle of the truck so it's not like you are pivoting on your rear axle. Haven't looked at it in a long time, but that's what I remember. That spreadsheet has really improved since I used it - didn't have the compress option back then...Quote:

yeah moving the uppers forward helped to keep the pinion pionted at the T-case.
Ive got it now w/
-4 understeer, low anti-squat, and the pinion stays pointed at the case, it actually rotates up when the axle droops, and down when it compresses.
Just got to make sure that I can make it clear the floor/ chassis
Looks like TJ axle bearings are the same as scout axle bearings, at least the set that I have should fit the axle
Ok now on to shocks, what kind of shocks do yall like best.
I was thinking coil overs w/o the coils untill I get the extra cash for the coils and sliders.
The shocks need to be at least 15 inch travel and work good
I can believe that. mic the shaft and the housing, I have a book of bearing dimensions.Quote:

What are you doing on your pc? Aren't you supposed to be in your garage building a super comanchakee?
well the old TJ shaft fits in the housing and the bearings should fit the shafts w/ a few thousands interference
Ok, I think I will go with those in a 14 inch travel. I should be able to get 6 inches up, 8 down.
Ive got the 14in fox shocks. plenty of travel. i have mine set at 7 and 7 but i may go lower up on the uptravel.
BBCS Biatch. If you aint swingin 15"s of Big Black Cawk, then you aint swingin at all...
Oh, and this sum***** better be ready by ~3rd of June. ;)
It should be, is that the date,
Hopefully I get enough on the refund check to order front end parts
Cool Beans.
Yes, that is a pretty close estimate (gets you in the right weekend atleast) after talking to a certain patchouli eatin' motharfawkin friend of ours. The actual date we leave from the house depends on when you tell your boss where to shove all those stray welding rods lying around. :D
parts ordered, construction to begin on Flemco 9 soon
no pictures, top secret
What are opinions on a front with triangulated lowers and strait uppers w/ full hydro
i gave the rims to sharpe but don't know if he ever made it out of town
Nope didnt make it. They can ride in my truck until I go home for the break in two weeks.
How the ef are you going to triangulate the lowers? High pinion?
I thought ti was going to be a high pinion, but can't find anything searching. Is the housing for a hp different than lp in a 9?
its going to be LP, they should clear but I dont know
Booo. Now I'm not going to be ready for TCC.Quote:

Maybe, but at that point TCC will actually be renamed Texas "We were going to have an offroading event this weekend but San Jacinto College wants to have one the week before so we'll just step aside and have our event some other time somewhere else TBD so we can go to that one" Challenge VII.:DQuote:

Hell Yeah, but that **** aint doin you no good sittin on the shelf. Now get to work meskin! :flipoff2:
where did you get the 5x5.5 kit from?
BLACK birds custom trucks
FlemCo 9 lives
45" kingpin to kinpin should put WMS at 63"

did you narrow the front frame? tires will rub with an axle that narrow. Lynda's is 64" and it rubs, I spaced it out with some slide on spacers to 65"
did I give you a hard time about having the weld seams on the outside yet:flipoff2: That's one of my pet peeves, frustrates me - just turn the piece the other way!!!:eek:Quote:
