There's the issue.. thanks Nate! Now to figure out how to move the body mounts forward or rectify this issue in some manner.

 

[Natedog]

TLR let us know.

Hey Nate I got home from work last night and completely forgot. I'll run downstairs in a few and get those numbers for you.

Edit:

0.76" or 19.39 mm

Is that the clear lens or the housing OD?

 

[TLR_junkie]

Nate one of my buddies put these on his truck, next time we crawl i could try and get measurements but for the price a guy could pick them up and try them out anyway...

Housing OD. If you need any other specs on it, let me know and I'll get them to you ASAP. Today is my short day at work so I'll be home by 3 for you west coast guys.

Thanks, but could you measure the lens OD? :mrgreen:

 

[Ascender'nMN84]

Absolutely. As soon as I get home I'll run in the basement and measure that up for you.

Sweet, thank you looks like they are the same lens then! 8)"thumbsup"

Hey no problem. Happy to help man! I appreciate and thank you for everything you contribute on here. Seriously. The knowledge I've gained from you guys is immense. I wish I could look you and Ernie in the eyes and shake your hands when I say this, but thank you.

Thanks, means a lot and I always try to provide positive answers to problems. This section has lots of helpful peeps, maybe we'll see each other at a comp or gtg one day. "thumbsup"

Nate quick question for you. I've made it thru 30 pages of your build so far but didn't see this posted, if it is answered later sorry. In your posts you keep saying that you've been able to lower the body post from stock, so how many holes are out of the body post holder ? Give the rest of us something to shoot for.

 

[Natedog]

Blazer front body posts have 6.5 holes showing. Rear has 10.5 holes showing above shock tower.
K10 front mounts are bottomed in the shock tower (4.5 holes showing above shock tower). Rear cage is setting on frame rails.

 

[Ricochet]

Thanks Nate. My front is at 7.5 and I'm at 9.5 in the rear. Haven't actually driven it with the body yet just flexing by hand to see what rubs.

You're welcome! Dropped my Blazer rear one more to 9.5 holes, I like it!

Break time, beautiful day!




K10 rear shocks stood up again without moving towers or frame rails settings! Using old Blazer body mount. Shaved the tower rib little and used VP black anodized servo clamp from the parts bin as braces (probably not needed) and spacers so that preload adjuster clears tower. Flipped the upper screws around after the picture so that nuts are out to make quicker spring and shock changes. 8)

 

[Ascender'nMN84]

Glad to hear. Happy to help. Nice idea to get that shock upright too!

Cool, those Axial headlight buckets with lenses should be here soon so that I can get some scale lights in the K10!

Been working on several other things including cleaning up the chassis down low, rails are smoother now battery tray pivots and RULRs inside the frame rails. Working on RULRs made with 0.055" thick steel inside the frame rails and with some different adjustment holes too. "thumbsup"

 

[Schs2013]

Awesome build Natedog

 

[Natedog]

Rear link geometry testing. Dang 'ol big red Va'Blazer just goes everywhere. K10 made it up too. Little cage trimming. ;-)

 

[Ascender'nMN84]

Looking good Nate! Stretched K10 working like you'd hoped it would?
