You are right, and I did an early check of each of those - extension and compression each side. I just didn’t photograph it, and I’ll have to do it all over once I place the shocks and coils. This is enough testing for where I’m at in the process. I’ve got to get the overlays burned in so I can get the hoops and shocks mounted, and then I’ll have the parts in place to do the last rounds of cycling.
I built a bracket off the intake manifold so the reservoir shakes on the engine just like the pump. I have half a though that it limits fatigue on the big -12 drain hose over the long term.
That's actually why I'm wanting to relocate mine. Currently I have it mounted on the shock tower. I've been thinking it would be better mounted to the engine.
Do you TIG all of that or use a MIG?
That's all TIG. MIG would work just as well. The most important thing is that it's a hot weld that fully fuses to the frame.
That’s just as a hand rest.
It would be a lot of fun to design a new 4x2 frame, and I have thought about it as a longer term project, but that’s a good bit more time required than these overlays. I’ll probably have these done at 30 hours.
I’m keenly aware. I’ll be there, truck or no. I’ve already jettisoned the rear suspension from the BB20 to do list.
