Yes I'd actually thought about doing the original one and there is options to upgrade suspension etc. Would recommend boxing in the center of the frame. Also there are certain companies like art Morrison that sell rear suspension kits that can be completely welded in it. Can have a pretty sweet setup without anything very expensive. Only real challenges when you are welding it all together you want to make sure it's clamped down on something flat so that way you don't get it all done just realize it's not the square anymore.

Custom chassis start at about 16k

I'm not totally sure do you know if that works?

@ yes. Did it this morning it retracts the parking brakes so they can be depressed. Super easy. You will have to manually depress with the tool but none of this turning the parking brakes back with an impact opening master cylinder etc.

Makes sense. Good tip.

Hello, I did replace both upper and lower a arms. The position of the upper dictates the handling / better handling in corners or high speed. Let me know if it doesn't answer your question certainly willing to help if possible. Thanks for checking out

Actually don't have my CV axles yet. Hopefully coming relatively soon. Will be doing a video on how I fabricated bracketry for the gas tank though because gas tank got shipped separately so the chassis wasn't actually built for it. But definitely will be more videos. Tons of body work modifications etc. And once I get those CVs ill show that. Thanks for checking it out.

You're welcome, thanks for checking it out

Yeah I could see that. I think probably had I started mostly on ATVs I might feel the same way, but spend almost all my time on dirt bikes. Glad it helped and thanks for checking it out.

233+ would be fine we're similar those just work well as they can come off easily even if they've been on for a few days. Just make sure paint is clean first

Most of them are 20 gauge. Few exceptions like rocker panels 18 gauge

@MotoXr917 Thanks, getting ready to do some hammer dolly and PDR on a bedside next week...

Probably 3M 233+ or 301+ or similar. Basically green or yellow tape

Make sure vehicle is very clean first that way it not dirt between paint and tape

@@MotoXr917 sounds good bro thank you, and what about normal blue painters tape? I’ve seen people use that and some other one called graffer tape or something

It only came with the spacers, but depending upon where you order it from they'll set you up with spindles center section etc. ATV Galaxy is what I use they had everything. Lone Star racing also has a ton of stuff directly. I used ATV Galaxy because at that time they had better prices. Not sure about now. Let me know if any other questions

Thanks

Glad to have you here

That is a super great question. I asked the manufacturer the same thing because I thought to myself what's the point of upgrading the wire when you have a fusible link that is so small/current limiting. They said just get rid of it. No need for fusible link.

Been working great since I installed it. No problems at all. Guess kind of makes sense as well as everything else is fused so the fusible link from the alternator is redundant.

Actually not too bad. If ur quad needs it definitely worth it and doable. Thanks for checking it out

Definitely agree with the statement that the ball joints are tapered and self-centering / that part is not adjustable but caster and camber on my quad with the aftermarket a arms are definitely adjustable.

Agreed. Big trucks are great but hard to work on... Thanks for checking it out

Hi Pete, attaches via factory mounts with the exception of the mounts that are over the independent rear suspension and those need to be fabricated. Going to use all the factory style body mounts elsewhere

1978, but G-Body applies to El Camino Monte Carlo Chevelle I think the year ranges that would work for this one or 78 through 87

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback

Thanks for checking it out

Thanks for checking out the video and appreciate the feedback. If you do start the project and have questions feel free to message me.

Great question and thanks for checking out the video. Your process sounds pretty good,. One thing I have found that dictates more than anything how well the tape comes off is that it's removed within the time frame the tape is designed which is not very long / a few days. Also be very careful of placing over fresh paint. I have not been in the habit of putting anything underneath the tape to help it be removed any easier and do be a little bit careful with some of the adhesive removers as they can be sort of harsh on paint. Historically if I have additional adhesive that is sticking(tape did not come off evenly) and I want to get it off and I'm not going to be repainting or anything like that then I will use a silicone-based product like wd-40. Seems to be pretty gentle on paint surfaces. However would not want to use that if any additional adhesive products are going to be used or paints etc. I do clean as well before I put the tape down. 233 plus just works really amazing and I've always put it just over the paint. All that said that's my advice based on experience I have no formal training and paint your body work, but thanks again for checking out the video and let me know if any other questions

Glad to hear. Thanks for checking it out.

Yes totally just like OBD2 port on a vehicle. With the tuner I bought can make all kinds of changes which is really great. Thanks for checking out the video.

FYI I do have a separate video on the tuner showing parameters that can be modified etc

Sorry for the late reply. Was on vacation. I think three is on the outer limits of what I would recommend two to three is fine though especially for more aggressive trail riding.

Wouldn't necessarily worry about short lengths on the road. I wouldn't recommend setting it up for that since unlikely to perform well under those circumstances anyways so may as well optimize it for aggressive trail riding. In other words think you're fine. Thanks for checking out the video let me know if anything else comes up.

@MotoXr917 thanks, I ended up making it about 2 degrees with no weight, angle gauge drops to about 1.5 with weight, looks like tires will wear better this way.

Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. My experience was good, but obviously good for people to hear the other side as well. Thanks for commenting

South Bay Moto Performance is the distributor for TSP in the US, they were above and beyond awesome in regards to customer service. I cannot recommend them enough. Did you try calling? I work in the powersports industry and sometimes when customers email me the emails get kicked into the spam folder and I end up finding them months later which sucks for both the customer and myself. I hate to have a customer feeling like im blowing them off and im sure TSP would feel the same way.

@@Ellwoodsss1 Are you suggesting that the TSP contact email is kicking customer inquiries into a spam folder? That would be very odd as well as bad for business if that were true. I doubt that. No, I did not call them. I have since sold the bike and gave the head away since TSP made no attempts to respond to my inquires. I have provided the exact date and time when the initial inquiry was sent. I don't see any response either here or via email as to what happened and why TSP never responded.

@@booger65man awwww you poor thing, i know that attempting an alternate contact method must have been to challenging for you and of course, they are all just sitting around the table laughing at your emails while they wipe their laughter tears with your money because thats what these businesses are like……. Give me a break dude, you must be a wonderful customer to deal with. I have customers like you, no matter what everything is everyone elses fault and every business is only out to rob you of your money right? Anyway, South Bay Moto and TSP has consistently exceeded my expectations of customer service even once long after i bought my reflash kit, i cannot recommend them enough.

@@Ellwoodsss1 I doubt that someone who responds with that sort of an emotional filled diatribe, operates a business of any significance. Emotionally driven comments from the peanut gallery do not alter the facts as explained above in any way. TSP did not provide lousy customer service, they provided none.

You definitely have a point. Bikes are pretty expensive at this point. Even 80s are going for $6,000. Thanks for checking out the channel though and appreciate the comment

Thanks for checking out. Yes I definitely go a little overboard sometimes. Use a lot of sealers and thread sealers etc sometimes when not even necessary. Historically I typically do apply them dry as well, 1 reason I didn't on this was because it was 2 gaskets put together. But you're totally right probably still would have been fine without anything. Thanks for checking it out and appreciate the comment!

That's great info. I would not have guessed. I do like harbor freight and go there a couple times a year. Things like zip ties and such are nice there. Thanks for the info and checking the video out.

Yes, is a good point. That said I’ve had pretty good luck with the higher end fillers like Evercoat. Some of them like Bondo are a little more porous and can delaminate and take on water a little bit easier. But that said your approach may be very good and appreciate the feedback. Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for commenting.

I'll take a look and let you know as soon as I can

Do you have pictures of the spacers you can send. Also I do have video on the rest of the suspension installation if that helps. Let me know. Can text me too. 9205699202.

On some other bikes have used some like works connection that have support behind as well

Yeah that's a good point. Bet that would work... Thanks for checking it out.

Should be the same length as the stock one under those circumstances. Let me know if you don't have the original to measure against and I should have some time on Wednesday to take a look and get that exact number to you. Thanks for checking it out.

@@MotoXr917 thxs for your time and help

I'll check tomorrow and let you know

@@MotoXr917 OK thank you I appreciate it. It barely touches but I still would want it not to touch at all because when I turn hard left it clears it all good. Only turning hard right it touches

Looking at it now. No contact. It is actually pretty far away. That's said I do have a slightly different pitman arm that has limiters on it to keep from turning to sharply. Not sure, but that could be affecting your set-up. II ordered mine from nice CNC.

Feel free to send me a picture. [email protected]'ll try to help you figure it out.

I'll take some picture of my setup tomorrow maybe that'll let us figure out what's going on with your setup.

Motion pro 01-2885 . Purchased mine on Rocky mountain ATV. Also Moto sports has them. That's for the raptor 700r. Let me know if you have trouble finding it

@MotoXr917 ill look it up tonight thanks. Are you still happy with the change ?

So.e reason I'm not finding the kit anywhere

That's great advice. thank you very much.

@@MotoXr917 you will have to buff the area you applied the edge blender also

That is an original equipment Dodge color. Code PDR. If you have trouble finding it let me know

It may. There is a lot of overlap between throttle bodies on those quads and the only thing that really matters is the connections within the throttle body. If you take a screenshot of my video where I have that cover off looking at those cables attaching maybe take your cover off and see if it looks similar. Maybe worth giving it a try. The kits aren't too expensive. Thanks for checking the video and let me know if any other questions.

Thank you for checking it out and leaving a comment. Let me know if questions come up as you're setting your adjustments I'll try to help anyway I could.

I'm a motocrosser and mostly ride dirt bikes so I find it more natural. Some people I think do prefer the thumb but for me especially Motocross style ATV riding I like the twist grip.

In other words better or worse, hard to say. Probably is mostly personal preference, but I love the kit. Definitely worth trying if you spend more time on dirt bikes.

Thanks for checking out the channel. Yes all of these tapes in this video are different variations of painters tape. My favorite is the green one, but as mentioned it's most expensive. The blue one is quite versatile, less expensive than the green, and available at many stores like Walmart home Depot etc let me know if any other questions, Chris

@@MotoXr917 thanks

Could I leave this on the front end of a car for love bug season in the Florida sun and heat for a few weeks?

Yes works pretty great. I use it on all my guns clear, base coat, and priming guns. Was initially a little surprised it worked with the gun with built-in digital gauge, but certainly does. The fancy color changenis a fun trick of video.lol

Hi Steve yeah that's a good thought. Could also work. My only thought with that is that it may be harder to keep the incoming air filtered in a homemade system with forced air intake, but certainly would have been an option... The other downsided to mention is my setup doesn't have the typical downdraft of a official paint booth even though I did Mount my fan low to help with this, professional setup certainly do have their advantages.

Thanks for checking out my channel. Have a great day, Chris
