To The Moon build

Well it’s done, this should be close enough now to decide whether or not to get more creative. Have plenty of shims to mess with now.

ok, now that the shock is coming off the bench, lets talk about that 3rd member....

Super last second decision to run out to Lucerne for the weekend and test. Besides a trans vibration developing, truck did great. Shocks are muuuch better and can likely dial them in with a bit more tube twisting.

That's a customer's Mason 3rd out of their 6100 truck. Beefff

That last shot is awesome. A bunch of big motor, big shock trucks hanging out and cruising around.

Testing the jumps for this years shindig. Thing lands smoother than ever with the new front set up. Decided to add a bit more excitement and jump over my daily.

Ran around Mitch’s track a bunch at the party over the weekend, got some good hucks in before the clutch exploded.

Awesome that you kept it a manual, guess it’s the price you pay for having more fun than a gated shifter automatic.

Ya its nice having a manual trans. Its had the same transmission for over 10 years with minimal issues. I've always used a wimpy clutch to create a fuse to keep the trans alive, but I think it's time to get something more aggressive and see if everything holds up.

what trans is it?

Cast Iron Toploader 4 Speed, been great to me.

 

[4xFoorOffroad]

Just curious what the gear ratios are for a 4 speed / yours?

 

[Raceranger97]

Been busy messing with the other toys and it’s been too hot to drive this thing anyway, but finally going back together. This clutch is far more aggressive than I’ve ran before, hopefully it works out.

 

[Raceranger97]

Finally worked out all my clutch gremlins and drove it for the first time since May.

Wasn’t sure which build thread to put this under, but this is the first time they’ve all been operational at the same time.
