Air2air, Savvyav...

and any one els that likes big bad shocks.

Bilstein Black Hawks came up the other day in Savv's thread and thought I would show you all what they do.

Warning:
This video shows big narly shocks eating up big woops watch at your own risk!


This was taped at Barstow's main pit area going about 80. For those who don't now what Barstow main is like its huge nasty woops, you need to see it for your self, if you are local go check it out next time you drive by.

Re: Air2air, Savvyav...

great video jehsua. I don't think the Blackhawks will fit our FJC and they cost $2,500 per corner.

sure why not but there +$3,000 each.


Actual they are dang big it would be a tight fit for Air2air even in the front but it could be done. On stock stuff no way.

YOU my friend...are like that girl at the club that dances with one guy, than flirts with another...just so you can sit back and enjoy.

Ok, a few things..

First, a mezzanine or like set up in the rear would ROCK except for the fuel cell issue. The upper tower could be set up so you could keep 2 rear seats or one and a spare to the side. you'd have to open small side door to make you adjustments!

Second, but most important. the front view looking back, you can see how much flex you get (you can really see the shock hoop boogie.) hence waiting on current projects to finish as I'd want/need a cage front to rear to stiffen the frame and tie the body up as well. I'd likke to see what J has up his sleeve after working on two hefty projects and seeing what works best with this body!

Re: Air2air, Savvyav...

Jeshua earns my wrath again. Guys, what do you think Dylan could drive my truck at, on this course, with my current setup? Setup is the same as the Baja truck except for the rear. Tires too.

who wants to make a guess at the speed a stock FJ would stay white side up on this course?

For now I am gonna keep my stock rear with the hoes and Chubbies, until we drive it a little and get a firm game plan. Certain people here on the forum have been sending me things intended to drive me insane.
