it looks a bit stiff to me. You have a lot of possible travel but it looks like the leaf springs are holding you back. Maybe I am crazy. And air down next time. Other then that I like the truck.
No.... not build it like mine... you should at least take some of the comments to make it better instead of acting like you know everything... some people can be stupid and have never put a truck into dirt and make dumb comments but my comment was from experience and research if you dont want to fix the shackle angle then its up to you. but its constructive criticism not bashing you or your fj cuz it is cool. just being helpful. a bad shackle angle will reduce suspension travel, traction.
Dang.. Its funny to read all the post people write about a vid.. you should do this and that, that sucks, those suck, hmmmm... I happen to like my cruiser and change shit on it every year.. Thanks again for the vid and entertainment tho seniormanny... Rubithon is comin up.. see ya there probly..
Nice to see someone wheeling with a standard transmission, i get so tired of seeing everyone wheeling with a puss-A-matic No clutching NO shifting pussies.If you drop the air pressure on those tires they will do a better job of getting some traction.The lower your psi is the more tread touches the ground plus the tire flexes a hole lot better. Next time your out wheeling give it a try start at 15psi and then go lower and bring something to air up with diving home on low psi tires SUCKS.
@steven12395 yeah man i like the clutch.. Ur right on the PSI.. the first posts tell a lot about that trip.. so.. Lots of things come into play as to why i didnt make it, all good tho.. ive changed a few since that trip, Run Lower PSI in the rocks and have gotten used to my rig again.. Next time i try that i wont go fare left, or over the big rock i kept backing into. and ill even post a vid.. peace!
@TheYotabeast85 If only you were around when i built it, Dang!! I would have made that and MY cruiser would be build your way.. Maybe next build ahh...
he he, need some bfg goodrich Krawlers, put back in the high torque at low end big block 6 with the 4 inch stroke, drop the air and lower the truck a bit thats on stilts LOL, i love the cruiser though! of course... oh and last feed the FJ40 more jeeps.
IT cause hes playing low rider. Should have been bumping powerman 5000 or some crazy crap.
and not talking crap but this guy cant drive either..sorry bud but you got to let your tires heat up and dry out their wet and hes only lets them slip on those rocks once then he clutches it.
@samiam2714 Yeah yeah yeah,, at the time that was its first trip in the rocks and the tires were at 8psi.. they seem to bag a lot better now and i run them at 5.5 in the rocks
@Willysaholic 4 yrs since i had drivin it, bad line, tall gears, to much air, 8psi instead of 5 to 6 what i run now and a little nervous of breaking.. AHH I didnt make it, Duh..Oh well.. :-)
i may just be dumb or something, but whats with the front shocks?? theyre angled, is that good or bad? or does it not matter that much? b/c ive never seen anyone do that before
@JWebbie2 It is what it is and the suspension seesm to work great so im guessin the shocks are good, its also just the way i mounted them, it follows the lines since i pushed my axle out so fare..
@jeffsteiger hahaha, and id like to have a set of 54s too.. anyways i dropped in from Tahoe this yr and didnt even wheel that much, Just stayed at the springs. It was still a great trip tho.
It looks long in the pic for sure, Its bout 114" . Runnin leaf springs i could only go so fare out the back so i went out in the front, Im kinda partial to my body and dont wanna hack it like so many other rigs, to each is own tho. Just my design... its 13 1/2 front and 5 rear. bout 99 wide. Plus its pretty dam tall. All i know is next year ill drive right up it.. haha, well, ill see anyways.
Hey bud sorry, computer has been down for mnths.. The springs are 6 inch lifted 1980 rear full size bronco springs from Deaver. I love them, a perfect fit for my 46s. Still didnt make it tho, till next year then the right line and some behind the wheel time and ill drive right up it.. Peace bud.
Well this 40 is mine, hahaha .... My line of fare left over the big rock was the WRONG way to start. Then i kept tagin that rock backin up, Oh well tho, This was its first rock trip in 5-6 yrs, its been in the garage being slowly built. It was a great trip tho and i had a blast, next year ill have my Lomax in and a few other things. AND ill take a diff line up the soup bowl, haha.. Thanks for the vid tho man.. Even tho i look like i cant drive. :) See ya next yr.. Mark
I like your spare tire carrier...
