Off Season Sled Pulling Mods

[bullfrogjohnson]

Now you have me thinking.... If only my five time TTPA points champ LLY was an LB7 how much better could i of done? :spit:

If you had a LB7 you could have done all that with a 2.6 charger:woott:

IIRC Merchant had some neat quick change valvecovers on his LB7. I thought the pics were in his garage on DP but i dont remember. IIRC they were just two big nuts and there were studs in all of the bolt holes that just helped align the covers. I would thing something like this with an o ring seal on the top gasket would be a slick operation.

Yeah seems I remember seeing those too. Very slick indeed.

We Got mine tore down i will post some pics along the way. Damn.... I think i just did this last year.

 

[durallymax]

Forgot to add our custom FICM cooling setup. Finally got it working. Should keep it a few degrees cooler....:roflmao:

I picked up a weight rack and some more weights this weekend,,,,,

 

[maxthis]

Would that be JT's old one?

 

[madmatt]

yep,, sure is. hope his luck came with it lol :roflmao:

 

[dmaxfireman]

that looks good on your truck. When I made that bracket I had two others made that are identical to it. I got one identical to the one you bought of me that is getting ready to go on Logan Armstrong's puller

 

[madmatt]

I'm just hoping the stock bottom end likes what i have in store for it,, hence the reason I need your luck lol:woott:

 

[JD Dave]

That's a nice weight bracket. My twins are on their way to Tony B's so hopefully I'll pick them up late this week. I bought the built dually rear end out of the Dirty Hooker so I'll be able to run 6 33x12.5 STS's this year. I just prey everything hangs together for a little while. Have to install electric fans also. Time is ticking away I really need to get the truck in the shop before we get busy on the farm.

 

[HogAssWild]

Man dave I would really like to see your truck in person...

Make sure u take plenty of videos at the pulls this year!!

 

[JakeBrakeIH]

I'm going to a different deal but how I set it is my truck is on solid bump stops with no weight on it, set my hitch & then when I hang weight the front does go down accept for the bulge in the tires

Do you have any pictures of your solid bump stops? Did you make them or purchase them? I really like that idea seeing the factory bump stops are super soft and think that would be a huge help.

Step 1,,,,, beef up hitch!

 

[Dozerboy]

Why its really cool when you tear it and your bumper off the truck all at once?

 

[madmatt]

I get a kick out the the new tractor supply co specials that show up shiney and new then promptly break right off lol!

 

[jheyob]

Hey, part of my hitch came from TSC :hug:

 

[madmatt]

did you beef it up though? I saw one make it all the way out to about 100' one time before it broke :roflmao:
