The recent tweak's and mod's I've done to it lately with the help of Wood's has really gotten this thing close to sorted out and smooth.

Like mentioned in the AC thread we rode G dale yesterday and running down the street we were high 60 70mph range and it just started to vibe the front driveshaft ( this is a full hydro buggy with drive flanges on pavement mind you... ) I was really impressed because last month i wouldnt have taken this thing 40mph down the road with the 2pc front driveline and the Orbital I had , Hell the wheels and tire's are a huge improvement as well I never feel the flatspotting from sitting through the week that i always experienced with the Irok's laughing1

On the trail , man the orbital once again proved to be worth every penny . Im currently at 2.5 lock to lock on steering and its effortless in every situation. We ran through the creek bottom from the Stair's to yellowjacket and you all know there are several really tight turns and I could maintain plenty of speed and steer through the woods just fine " one hand on ya " style.

The Radio install makes the trail riding alot of fun but I have a cheapy ass battery and well..... I need to be more attentive to leaving the power on and radio playing while we are hangin out. Ran the battery down and had to do a swap from CheapJ7's to mine to start it since we didnt have any jumper cables with us. Kind of a PITA. But nice to cruise around all day with the tunes on :driving:
 
I still need to finish the dash board on the drivers side... Make a Tierod for the hi steer ( arms are on it but not currently in use ) and work with the ram mount and fab some protection for it now.

Im going to fab an addition to the arm's that tie them to the TRE holes in the factory knuckles to add the studs from getting sheared. If possible Id like to run the Ram off that as well kinda like Matt's is setup on the Dynatrac stuff , Its bling and no "rollover" of the tierod like you get when the ram is tabbed off of it.

Im real happy with were the buggy is at, and going towards though. I enjoy it more and more now since its getting more effortless to go out and have fun and not have to make repairs, adjustments or anything else. :woot:
 
i hear ya on the little tweaks... i am looking forward to getting my new rear suspension in and to start dialing that in...
 
Just wait til we tweak a bit on the squirrel's cage a bit. That rig has alot more than you think. It's good stuff man. :dblthumb:

Fawk - 60 or 70 MPH :eek:

40 in mine is scary **** - I'll never do it again on the road unless I am as drunk as I was the first time laughing1
 
I hit 53mph on my street in front of the house per Tom Tom with my old stuurin ( sketchy as **** !! ) That was in 2nd gear high range... Straight away isnt bad at all.. I can carry reasonable on road speed with the new steering now. I wont push it to the floor or go any faster than we did Saturday without a helmet and a wide open area, that was about as fast as I felt reasonably safe doing on pavement and it was momentary at that. It wasnt dodgy or anything but in a buggy there's alot that can go wrong at that kinda speed and its certainly in the back or your head ! laughing1

:driving:
 
i hit 85 on hwy 72... the only proof i had was my roomate driving my car and tryn to keep up. :driving: :****:
 
Got mine to 37 today with open headers, snow on the road and 2lbs (maybe) in the tires. ANd fresh full hydro that I have never driven. It was awesome thumb.gif Did I mention it was ****ing cold?

Either my hydroboost really robs pressure/flow from my ram or the load reactive orbitols PSC uses work well. Its really not as sketcky as others I have driven. You can tell its full hydro, but its not as "sensative" as some. Glad its still road friendy.
