I used nylon rope, it would work on one or two valves, butwould have to drop it back down and feed in more rope in some cases.

Hopefully I won't have to do it again in a hurry. But got a feeling I will have to. Shims are about the to go back in and seal it up again. Then I will get started on changing rear right axles (bent I think) and plumbing in surge tank and pump

damn thats a really nice truck

 

[Chello]

Thank you. It's a hell of alot of fun, need to put more pictures up and stop being so lazy lol

 

[Chello]

Took it to a test and tune yesterday, did okay. I still need to make up some tramp/axle wrap bars for it

:rofl: Man I wish I had supracharged my old truck instead of selling it now

 

[Chello]

It's a hell of a lot of fun, take it off road, was down climbing and running around in mud last weekend and this week racing it on the track with out changing a thing. Did a 9.1 on the 1/8 and second spun for a fair way as you can here in the video

 

[NashMan]

nice vid

 

[Chello]

Thanks. I think someone else has another video of the same run from a different angle so will see if I can track it down

 

[NashMan]

you need a wrap bar

 

[Chello]

Yeah, I know I do. Still deciding on wrap bar or some sort of Caltrac setup

 

[NashMan]

caltrack not that great work wheeling but they work well going to build a set for my 94 auto cross truck

 

[Chello]

Little update, got a roll bar bent up for it out of 3 inch pipe with a 3mm wall thickness. Taking a break from it atm but halfway through it, the sides/gates will follow the angle or the bar aswell




As you can see it sits a little high

Basically a rough before and after








And a good chance to clean up some wiring and change the thermo fans out, one keeps throwing the fuse

 

[NashMan]

That's a big fuck off pipe you have there. it should be bigger hehehe

 

[Chello]

Aslong as it saves my head when or if it rolls over, I am tipping when it rolls over

 

[Chello]

Rest of the pics, didn't get a chance to do the gates/sides yet

 

[IJ.]

Came out well, looks heavy though

 

[Chello]

Happy with it. And not overly heavy. Anything to keep the tyres in contact with the road a bit more haha. And as I said, to save my head. They are nicknamed the rollux for a reason lol

 

[Poodles]

They're stable as a rock compared to a jeep though Going with a wider wheel and tire package helps too, but I dunno about your laws there and if the tire HAS to be inside the fender...

 

[Chello]

Tyres can only be an inch wider track than stock from memory.

Sorry about the absence from the thread, been working like a dog and got a new toy on the weekend. A Ford FPV GT-P, 5.4 litre v8, this one has been built and has a Yella Terra, whipple type charger putting out around 500 rwhp. No-where near as much HP as IJ's and only RWD aswell, still heaps of fun.
