Wow! Thanks for the updates... sure wish I could be there! Looks like you guys are having a killer time. If you get a chance, could you shoot some video of a truck with the 2. 65 system?

Oh, and I like the bed/tailgate supports!

Video of the Carli shop truck with the 2. 65's can not do it justice

I drove it out to Olds and back to Camp through the whoops section at insane speeds. Up OLds with a cab full of women laughing their *****es off.

Mike's truck is WILD. Took a few hot laps in the Megapig as well I made beleivers out of many Dodge owners of what the Carli suspension is capable of... ... ... ..... 3200rpm 37"tires on 3. 73 gears up the wash road... ... ... ... ... ... anybody care to do the math :-laf



Bob,still coming down from a wild Glamis trip.

We had a few non Dodges too. My son and his GF both got their stock Tacomas up Olds and then up Comp in 2wd

Man, that's awesome... I know it'd be a 4,000+ mile drive, but I think I'm going to start planning now to make it next year.

Thanks for the vid...

Bob, what system is the megapig running?

Thinking of planning for next year... I plan on added some front bumps this spring. Am I good to go on everything else? Can I get out and play hard with the Carli LT bags, or do I need rear bumps as well?

--Eric

The Megapig is running the 3. 0 kings front and rear King bumps and the std Carli springs front and rear.



I was running the whoops at a pretty good pace with my lt bags. I have front and rear bumps.

The faster you plan on driving the more you should step up.

Truss should be considered mandatory for those obstacles that you may not see in time

Bob 4x4 I'd come out sometime but I would scare you guys with my one wheel drive

Well, the truss part is at least taken care of... I ended up making one out of some HEAVY wall DOM, and steel treadplate. I reenforced the upper c's as well. The truss is probably the most bullet-proof item on the truck! :-laf

I just took it in for an alignment, and was somewhat worried about the front end being bent, or warped from welding. However, camber was 0. 2&shy;° and 0. 3° for the drivers and passenger side, so all's good there.

Now just some bumpers, front bumps, steering stabilizer, thuren's steering, and some Carli ball joints, and I should be ready to go!

When you get it all set up remember to build up to warp speed as your skills progress not before :-laf
