my cheap suit lasted 5 years. hopefully the not as cheap suit does as well. has gussets at the back of both arms, zero tightness at full articulation.

the belt line in the rear is where i rip them apart

There's a cure for that... ;-)

I originally bought a sparco suit but apparently European sizes are much smaller than US sizes.
Ended up with the G force for hammers. Went through the same BS with roadracing leathers, Custom suits are the only way to go.

this one fits in the gut and croch and overall lengths, but feels like it's got room for moobs and extra room in calves and forearms. I think it'll be good though. It's a shitton softer than my cheap suit even brand new.

Decent progress. 2.2” or so more uptravel in front than ever.

Need to mount coolers, check clearance at articulation, mount steering resi.

Swaybar and rear bump fab is the next big set of stuff and will probably be the only other big change accomplished.

Need to order and make new front upper links and mounts too.

are you guys running 1.25x1.25 on both uppers and lowers?
I currently have smaller joints on my uppers (matched the johnny joints I replaced). I don't see a reason to run anything bigger. I'm pretty sure they're 1" thread, I don't think there are taps for that in play right now?

[M4wdFab]

all 1.25 heims.


i dont have 1" tooling.   i do have 1"  4 lefts and 4 rights (minus what has been lost in a couple years) new bungs, not sure what tube size. 

[mr.mindless]

pair of taps probably runs $75-100? I wouldn't have a fucking clue what to buy.

[mr.mindless]

Booo


Gonna try to get something done on this tonight and see how my back feels about it.

At least need to do something about upper links since there is both lead time on materials and necessity.

I think at a week out, there's no point. I should button up what needs it, and move on to the bro for a race that I'll probably miss due to having to work.

pick this up - hopefully with shocks in hand - AFTER Rolling W, and be ready for the 6/4 race. all the while cursing Fox for missing the one opportunity to race at Rausch this year. I'm pretty pissed about this, and it REALLY concerns me for availability of parts when I have issues down the road.

Thing is, I know Fox are the best of the best and I'm sick and tired of shock issues. They have the hardest strongest shafts, run the best seals, etc. No idea on body strength (which is where my issues have been until now) but I'm still pretty settled.



Maybe ADS could do something for a set of Bro shocks though? 8" and 10" 2.5 smoothies? I was planning to give Fox my money there too but at this rate I wouldn't have shocks until August without an order in place already.

[mr.mindless]

at least a day later than intended, but I ordered link material and joints. probably sit on it now but if something changes at least I have the parts. I think it'll be a monday ETA since I didn't expedite shipping, so no weekend lathing requests I don't think.

stupid.

[M4wdFab]

drop your ranger off at m4 with some parts in it.   im sure matt would work the bugs out of it for you if you cant make the first race

We are running ADS 2.5 10" & 12"
