[crazy91s10]

i need a job like yours whore... i can't afford to wheel mine anymore let alone break it and rebuild it 8 fvckin times

dunno if you can consider student teaching a job. i pay full college tuition to work well over 40 hrs a week

maybe when i find myself a real job i'll be able to afford to break my shit in the woods with ya again

[Tim99Zr2]

ha, sounds like a plan.. mine has come along way since we been wheelin together! hell i think i was still IFS last time i went with you

oh yea. update.. tore out the interior and carpet today, sprayed some under coating in it.

[wrekd]

I knew that was coming. I was gonna ask ya the other day when you were gonna strip the interior


Did you use undercoating or some kind of spray on bedliner/chipguard??

[Tim99Zr2]

hahaha. good call!

yea i tore it out today.. it was damp under it. and i used 2 cans of rubberized under coating. but i got excited to put it back together it didnt have time to set up. so i gotta touch it up

[wrekd]

Mine was fvckin soaked when I pulled it out. And it smelled like ass.

I still have no clue where the water comes from. After a heavy rain I always have a puddle on my passenger side floor.

[Tim99Zr2]

hha, who knows..

i dunno where my water comes from either..

[wrekd]

Ummm, lack of a back window maybe

Now that my friend is sig worthy. BTW, I wouldn't say that to just anyone

[wrekd]

That was payback for the Disney pics you got me with the other day .

[Tim99Zr2]

so..

whats easier to do. hydro assist or full hydro?

Id say assist... well maybe not. I think all you would need more for full hydro is an orbital and a few more lines. Regardless, Im going full hydro. Im done with steering boxes and pitman arms. Plus Im gonna be turning 40's. I still gotta do some more research.

thats what i was think.. itll be tough to turn locked 37s. plus steering boxes suck lets just say mine is keeping my nut lubed up on the pitman arm

would it be worth going full hydro on a D44

It depends on how your steering is working. Are you getting lock to lock with no problems?? Hydro assist is plenty for turning 37's. And if it ever fails, you'll still have a way to steer. Full hydro has no mechanical linkage so you're fvcked if you blow a line.

exactly.. full hydro seems easy to hook up..

time to research

[wrekd]

Besides for a little more money, I think full hydro is definitely the way to go. No more drag link, steering box, or pitman arms to fvck with. The only issue with it on a 44 is the weak ball joints. If you get really bound up, you could very easily break a ball joint.

[Tim99Zr2]

hmm. shits confusing.. im reading up on it right now.

what would a ball park figure be on full hydro vs hydro assist?

[wrekd]

It depends on the parts you use. But minimum for assist, I would say somewhere around $200-300. Full hydro Im not to sure on. Alot depends on how much you can get the orbital for.

Id go search over on Pirate.

[Tim99Zr2]

ugh, search for me! hahaha.

if i do hydro assist then i still have to make the 100$ drag link. if i go hydro, i dont have to make it

[wrekd]

Thats correct.

I'll be researching, but its gonna be full hydro. If you're going assist, its all you man

[Tim99Zr2]

im leaning toward full, if any

[wrekd]

http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billav...ing/index.html



Im gonna start reading this. I did a quick ebay search on orbitals, and theres all different kinds with different outputs and shit. Gotta match the ram and the orbital to work good together.......On to reading

[Tim99Zr2]

oh fvck. this shit is confusing. LOL

ill read that later. its too late. haha

[JollyGreenMini]

I've looked at it a little bit, and hydro assit/full hydro setups don't seem that difficult. And Tim, your truck fvcking sucks to turn!

[Tim99Zr2]

hahahaha.did you drive it? thats why i wanna do hydro..

Just around the block, fvcker leans like there's no tomorrow and doesn't like to turn under 10mph

How'd the grinder work on that lexan?

[Tim99Zr2]

it worked good actually.. just a little messy. haha

[DieselS10]

Keep in mind that full hydro isn't street legal or safe at speeds, so if you want ot drive it one the road then go assist. I was looking at JWGlovers assist setup a little over at Disney and that's what I'm gonna do.

this isnt always true. it is legal in some states. im trying to find out if its illegal in my area. i read that it being illegal is a rumor.

ill have to look for some pics of his set up.

buuuut i did notice this thread has been getting alot of updates they might not be great, but its making progress

[wrekd]

How much did that cost ya??? I wanna do my windshield

Dude, its Pa. Of course its illegal

[Tim99Zr2]

i bought it off jollygreen & his dad.. twenty bucks.haha


and im gonna have my bro bring a law book home from work.. what the hell.. fvck it ill just have one more illegal thing on my truck.

then someday when i get pulled over they'll just have that thing impounded.

Sad thing is it will probably be one of the safest vehicles on the road. Cause everything is either new or rebuilt. I dont know about your area, but there is some hacked up pieces of shits on the roads down here. Then combine that with the highest drunk rated county of the state and we got some problems

[Tim99Zr2]

hahahha. i feel ya. there is a yota up here runnin around with like an 8" block in the rear!

We have the inspection book at the shop. It has the vehicle code and the inspection code in it and i'm not 100% sure but i'm pretty sure it doesn't say a damn thing about hydro assist or a full hydro steering setup being illegal.
