Looking pretty badass!! Post up some numbers tomorrow..

pholmann · Jul 18, 2016

I will. I'm not as concerned with the numbers as much as I am it running right and efficiently.

tonybolton · Jul 19, 2016

600hp will be acceptable I'm sure.

I'm still waiting on my high steer arms so I can change my knuckles first. Ordered a set from 4wheelsupply july 3rd and they've still not shipped. I'm not real pleased about all that.

Was it 4wheelsupply or fourwheelsupply? I ordered my solid arms from fourwheelsupply.net and had pretty quick shipping. I think hes much more active on PBB.

Word on the street is that it put 785 to the rear wheels.

Re:

Try 785 to both axles..... it's blowing up on Instagram at #richfolksgonebuckwild

pholmann · Jul 19, 2016

It was 4 wheel supply.

Skimmed back through but didn't see it, what engine/cam did you go with?

pholmann · Jul 19, 2016

It's a .030 over lq9 with a damn good valve job and a Howard's cam.

tonybolton · Jul 19, 2016

One of the best build threads I've seen.....good from start to finish!

Now, don't fall into the next "COMBO #2" of having a FOR SALE thread after 3 wheeling trips.

pholmann · Jul 19, 2016

Hell no. I'd rather be wheeling than building.

1tonrenegade · Jul 20, 2016

Sounds good man!

wimpykid · Jul 20, 2016

That's sweet.

I spent some time playing in the woods behind the house this evening. I love it. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be. I do however have a couple small leaks to deal with that are going to be labor intensive. I think I blew the front seal out of the transmission. Well it did it during the dyno session. Also the shift shaft seal is leaking. So that means the motor has to come out. Dammit

Beerj · Jul 20, 2016

Point and shoot kinda rig eh? Do you think the leaks can survive until it's time to tear down for powder?

pholmann · Jul 20, 2016

I wouldn't call it a point and shoot. It definitely is good for that but it is smooth as silk off idle for crawling. I'm loving the gearing. I crawled a steep ass hill that me and Kel went up wide ass open. It's 5bros favorite hill. Lol.

As far as the leaks, I don't think so. It's dripping right on the exhaust pipe where the pass side crosses over. It's a fire hazard from hell and leaks bug me.
