nacho.diesel - an ultra performance build

[aFatBird]

its flat out obscene how much the suspension droops and still the system stays balanced. Working on some videos. So far the jeep has climbed everything like a spider and stable at least up to 65 in some preliminary desert testing.

I think you need a bigger jack or at least a foot tall stack of wood to stick under the jack.

A good platfom that works on all surfaces is in the works. Otherwise the arb jack is awesome

Does the arb jack have some kind of mechanical safety like a latching mechanism or something similar?

My assumption for the base you got planned is some kind of plate steel with bitters or rubber underneath so the base doesn't slip.

Either way, that's a wild picture you got. It makes me want to drop the jack quick to see the damping those coilovers can do.

Working on some minor tweaks after some repeated jumps.

Who makes that crazy Jack?

How short does it get? I stopped carrying a hilift as it took up space I all of a sudden needed. Now I have a bottle jack and the stock scissor with a couple 2x6’s.

Not bad at all. Way better than 48 or 60.

Its also way lighter and 10x as safe. Up & down are completely controlled

The jack doesn’t really drop that fast but the jeeps been much higher than that under throttle no problems.

its got a lock out for the air canister but no mechanical lock since its pneumatic. The jack base we sketched up some designs for would work sort of like sharks teeth or maybe terrain velcro is a more appropriate description.

First night of music fest was awesome

Sadly todays wheeling concludes Trail Hero and most people clearly left this morning because we barely saw anyone

out ran two well built side by sides up Sand Hill to the top of the world. After answering about 30 questions from them about how that was possible, I went with my friends through the maze and did all the tough lines including “you gotta be nuts” minus two that are buggy only.

its virtually impossible for me to accept just how incredible this jeep is. I used the winch 10-12 times this week but not for me. No straps. No notning. Every non buggy option was a cake walk

Didn’t get to run all the 9&10 trails here but it walked all of them that I did

I would be curious to know what someone would need to spend to accomplish the same without sponsorships, too rich for my beer budget I'm sure. Nontheless, I am extremely happy for your success on this "because we can" project.
