eXpeditionXterra Build Up

Am I the only one that is having trouble viewing the pictures on the first page?

No. They have probably been removed from whatever photo hosting site he uses.

It Lives!

After dealing with braking problems, it looks like the X is alive again. Had to replace the master with an early Chevy that could push more fluid.

Rear end is finished, fox piggy back racing shocks, custom shock towers, Toby did a really slick job making the lower shock mounts to be low-profile and integrate with the Light Racing jounce shocks.

Whats the total lift amount... 12"?

How is the body roll in the corners? Did you fab up new swaybars?

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Nicely done. I plan on a similar adventure with my rig soon.

I'm not sure what the total lift amount was. There is no possible way of getting a sway-bar up front. The location that Calmini uses (the valley between the tranny and the engine), is intersected by the third link. Coming from the front is also impossible due to the pitman arm, and the tire clearances.

Luckily, with the coil combo I have on there now, the front doesn't sway much at all. The rear is another story though... Due to the weight I have up top with the tent, the new height of the vehicle, and the flexy deaver leaf pack, the back sways like a drunk monkey. To combat this, we are installing a bad *** rear sway-bar. Should be just about perfect for me with that. And I drive some nasty roads.

Nice rig, pics after 4/28/10 work for me.. the rest dont

Guys, I am working on the picture issue.. hang in there.

More progress made. Changed spring configuration in the front which dropped it an inch or so, and eats up some sway.

Installed a rear swaybar that means business!

It is really dialed in now.

Looking pretty BA!
Nice job on the shock mounts too!

This has been quite a build. Now you need to publish everything you've done and learned in this project

With the new configuration and swaybars, 80MPH is no problem at all. Handles like a race car.
