Badd azz project.

What are all your trophies in the background from? Looks like you've done something good.

buckeyezuk · 03-16-2010, 03:51 PM

Thanks for the compliment. the trophys are from the ol dirt trackin days.. i ran dirt modifieds, mini stocks, and go carts for the last ten years and got lucky a few times..ran modifieds locally at florence speedway and moler raceway..

Sweet build... did you have to take anything off the OD of the 10.5" ring gear for the 14 bolt shave? That 14 bolt cover looks like the stock one modified... those things are paper thin... I shaved my 14 bolt too... (took my ring gear to 10.125" OD) but I bought the build-your-own 14 bolt cover from DIY4x.com ...it was 3/8" plate... best $36 I ever spent...

Upgrades for the 300?
Two piece front driveshaft?
Relocate the passenger side HEGO? (looks like it's gonna be in the way?)
Front lower link length (approximately)?

BIGRAM · 03-16-2010, 07:11 PM

AH HA, still got a couple dirt chassis myself. Was on the verge of turning my sportsman into a crawler at one time, not too many tracks are running my class anymore. But, found my truck and erased the thought.

mckeddie · 04-08-2010, 03:23 PM

that's a pretty ballsy place to haul em to try em out! looking damn good! i'll be working memorial day weekend unfortunately.

butch and joey are jsut about done with theirs, we are going to take it to haspin so he can try it out before he heads up to the RCQ with it (hoping he'll be able to open it up on the main trail done there if we can do it while no one is there, and tune the shocks some) supposed to go around the 28th. i'm down to just getting my front shafts swapped out (ordering drive flanges tommorrow), charging my shocks, and getting my front bumper and winch mounted. a couple of hours of work and i'll be ready.
