Story of the orange turtle

Jaco · 11-20-2008, 01:04 PM

I haven't really had any pictures or a writeup of the new pile- thought some of you would get a kick out of it... Someday it will have real axles and tires

Now the turtle is getting a SAS with a Dana 30 and King 16" coilovers...

Jaco · 03-22-2009, 11:31 AM

I realize that it was a joke, but I joined in 2003, thanks again capn' dee da dumb ... My old user name was tacominator... I know tacominator isn't spelled correctly, sorry...

Max · 03-22-2009, 12:56 PM

articulation? Where is it? Ive seen golf carts that could take a harder line. I guess thats what all the tubing is for, its gonna roll boys flip your beers. Will be sick when you get those kings on it.

Jaco · 03-22-2009, 01:25 PM

Haha, well believe you me, I'll flip and flop it just as much with the kings- it'll just be time to run some harder trails.

awsumdc · 03-22-2009, 05:51 PM

I'm speechless!

Kaistie · 03-22-2009, 09:50 PM

Yeah Jaco, you fucking NEWB! Can't you build anything worth a shit?

Jaco · 03-22-2009, 10:36 PM

I'm honestly surprised I haven't got more shit for the dana 30

That's a straight up newb move right there! But hey, it was $50 for the axle $200 for the wheel adapters and $100 for a spare axle with the right gears in it... I traded some welding for a driveshaft and I'm ready to rock! And it's a high pinion grenade... Really, don't people spend more than $350 on blowing up stuff for fun?

These jeep axles also have this "unit bearing" thing where 3 bolts and 10 minutes later and the whole axle shaft, wheel bearing/shishkabob is swapped out

They must have sensed explosion when they designed it haha

At least you've improved on user names. Now if we can work on your comebacks. :doubleflip:

hockeyplayer4 · 03-23-2009, 08:41 AM

that thing is awesome. i love how its still got the stocker tires on it haha. nice welding it looks great. i bet i could have a TON of fun in that thing. and if you think about it all the extra weight of the exo cage just takes place of all the long gone sheet metal and glass. nice build. cant wait to see it when its complete.

FAUX X 4 · 03-23-2009, 12:59 PM

I look forward to watching the ticking time bomb under the front have a happy ending!

Jaco · 03-23-2009, 02:35 PM

I have my list of things to do- this is going to be close as far as AZ rocks is concerned... I want to go so bad!

Thank you guys, I'll put a couple other links on my website- I am actually going to head down and get some Ballistic joints tomorrow, these bushings just aren't going to work with 16" of travel
