Out of curiosity, what do y'all think would be the intended gain from this design? It might be more stable in the water maybe? Being that these tubs will clear 25" tires in the factory position,...

Unfortunately I don't have a 980 to put a set on, but I do think they'll do nicely on a couple of my Big Red 3 wheelers. I should be able to afford a couple sets by May lol, put me down for 4.

1)...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Oil bath chain box, with coilovers on the inside of the tub. You could even run tracks over that kind of setup, since all the movement is up and back instead of...

A simple way to do it would be to use bearing and chain boxes off the main axles, using the axles as the drive and pivot. I don't know how well that would hold up though...

Ahhh, so your going for the "like a Macpherson but not exactly" suspension system. lol :D

Basically the same principle that the old school custom springers used:
...

I'm going to take a guess and say your idea is a torsional trailing arm suspension? I always thought that would be a better springer design for an amphib, but I don't have the means to design one...

Yes, the injectors were a common problem on the LB7 Duramax engines. My understanding is that that problem was fixed in '04 with the LLY engine. I thought GM extended the injector warranty on the...

What I wonder is why they would go to a rival company for a transmission and expect it to be a good one??

I have a 2010 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3, and I really wish that I had gotten a Duramax instead. Seems like now that the manufacturers are competing for gas mileage so much, they've forgotten the...

This looks like a really awesome and capable machine, I want one....

I took a look at their web site, and translated it. Here are some of the highlights:

Price starts at 665,135 Rubles, which...

Okay, so I'd like to revive this thread and idea. I still have the same engine, and the same goals in mind, but this time I may be willing to spend a little more. I DO NOT want a different, more...

LMAO!!!!!! :rofl: "Here's your sign!"



Makes one wonder if this woman really needs a driver's license in the first place......lol

Here's something to think about, remember the title of this thread? It's "The $50 Supercharger", I think your going the wrong way with this idea. We're not trying to get the maximum performance out...

This is so cool, it looks like we've got some real experts now!! I smell some math coming up... I love math, this should be fun!

So are y'all saying that the advantage that Brushcutter was feeling...

Wow, I completely missed this thread....This is a fantastic idea!!! A year or so ago I had a little thread on putting a small turbo on a V-twin, but that idea never got off the ground because it was...

If your switch springs back to the center from both positions, then you can't use it for bot the starter and the ignition. You would also need a standard on-off switch for the ignition circut.

I...

How about posting up some pictures of what you've made.

I am going to say just the opposite of what Mike and Brushcutter said. I think they should work better on the front, since the front should...

I did this on my Hustler. Even if you don't fully understand how all the circuts work it still wouldnt be too hard to do. I used a hooded toggle for my ignition and a momentary for my starter. If...

If you really want to get the best trail performance out of your machine, a Briggs Vanguard V-twin is the way to go. You will still have plenty of get up and go, but in a more reliable and quieter 4...

I think that if you were to take 12 of the 26x9.5-12 ASX tires and run duals you would be unstoppable.... :D

Nobody has suggested just the standard TSL Vampires... If you could find 11" beadlock...
