you know you want it too
Werd..
Nice score on the truck though. I needs some property to let poeple leave their junk on.
If it makes yall feel any better I am in the process of buying a house so I will have to sell my body for gas money and walk the neighbors poodle for enough dough for a 1lb spool of flux core haha.

Foreskin envy, male prostitutes, this thread went from cool to homo in 3.6 seconds.
Well got some front bumpstops done today, not really happy with the way they came out, but it was pretty much free so whatever. Anyways got rid of my roof rack and lights...got tired of the whole safari look. Was a little hesitant to sell the rack since it was my first little jeep fab project and some how that stupid thing kept from definatley flopping TWICE!!! Don't ask me how I think it was enchanted or something. It looks way better in my opinion....like sleeker and more baddasser.
I wanted to do the whole hockey puck bumpstop shit, but they are rather hard to come by in texas and I'e been trying to not spend ANY money on the heep while I am buying this house. The inside diameter of my springs are like 3.5" so I found a 3 3/8" hole saw and cut out a bunch of pucks rom some 3/4" plywood and painted them black. " South Texas Hockey Pucks." haha
Got my little brother's dweeby ass to sand them.
A little spray paint.
And the stickiest glue in existince to mu knowledge.
Put glue on paint stirring stick.
Sanded down the coil perch the best I could and started smearing glue on it.
Then slid in one puck at a time with glue on it.
My shocks have 5" of uptravel till they bottom so I stacked pucks until there was 4" of up travel between the pucks and the coil post. 11 per side.
It turned out sketchier than I would like so I might end up taking the coils out and doing something else thats welded in so I KNOW it will not move. I'm not that worried about it I had all the materials already except the glue so im 8$ in the hole if I scrap it.
you could screw em all together and make it a tad less sketch.
Yea that's true, but if i'm going to take the coils off and all i'm gunna do it solid and out of metal....possibly use those Trail-Gear bumpstops I have.
linky?
edit nvm, i found it.
Thinking about welding these to the bottom of my coil post and finding a 5 or 6" piece of 3" pipe, capping it and welding it to the perch so I can come down hard on it and have the cushion of the rubber and the stability of the metal pipe.
i say cut your bump stop about an inch above the cup and weld the pipe downwawd and go that route.
Looks good. Oddly when I see your rig though sleek is not one of the words that comes to mind LOL. I dont see your plywood deal lasting long on the housing but it should still do its job while flopping around inside the spring.
I know exactly what your talking about the Texas hockey puck availability! There are none here! I'm trying to find a bulk buy of them on ebay or something.
screw the house, get air bumps
hey yall let me know the diameter and length of the bumpstop yall need and ill ask my cousin if he can make something. He welds plastic and all kind of crap and has made some stuff like that before.
I've been wanting to try some of these:

At least a couple guys on pirate had good results, and I used to see them fairly often before airbumps got popular. Posts 2 and 10
