some updates on the rig. (air shifter update)

[Desert Beast]

Have you tried dual relays to split up the amperage load? Using the output of the spal controller as the low amperage trigger for two relays.

i was thinking of doing that, but the spal controller is a pulse width modulator type of controller. Starts the fan @ 50% speed then gradually increases the speed proportional to the engine temp. So I think that if i was just using it as a trigger for some relays it would be all or nothing.

That is correct

nice!!!!!!!!!!! what size tires are you running? i have a 74 j-10 truggy on one tons. i am goin to use 42 in. irocks! there is really not much left on the body of my rig. i will try to post up some pics later!---BRIAN

[Desert Beast]

yup, 42" iroks. cant be beat. but im gonna upgrade to ltb's when these are worn out. (man, i havent even run these tires and i already know what im gonna get when these are worn, i gotta stop doing that. it gets expensive.)

[offroadman1973]

cool! if you want to check out my chassis you can go to rgv4x4.com and go to members rigs- i believe. you can't miss it! it has changed alot since those pics. i put the axles in it already and the engine is getting rebuilt right now!---BRIAN

flex from what? the rad? the rad is mounted to the frame and cage (isolated w/ rubber) and wont flex at all (hopefully ).

that'll do it.

Decided to delete the pictures of my brother's truggy so not to interfere with the original poster's post. Sorry ---------------------Kyle

i know aguy who wants a set of 42's,sell em and go ahead and get the 47's

[Desert Beast]

jesus man, dont tempt me!

i think that it would be in my best interest (and my banks) to run the 42's for now and just get the 47's next.

but that (unless a better tire comes along) is defenetly going to be my next tire.

[Desert Beast]

got it driving today. still gotta work out some kinks, but after 14 months it felt good to drive it again.

heres some of the requested pics.

not to impressive but it was the bigest things @ the yard.

[CowKiller]

biggest thing in the yard? i see a semi parked there.

i think he meant that log was the biggest thing available for a poser flex shot

DB, in the 4th pic(the one of hte rear drivesahft) what are those pieces of square tubing sticking out from the left side of the pic?
