Edz280zx Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'd like to thank you Layedout for answering my trivial question. And to Skib, as I seem to be the very newest of newbies here, may I offer up my biggest apology for interupting your otherwise steller day with my question? From now on I will ask for your permission before pissing in your pond.:D I think he was referencing this thread in general, not you in particular. Quote Link to comment

Smiley720 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 This weekend I should be able to cut the frame out of the notches and let it sit all the way down. I will have pics Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lynch I believe that is the first thing we have agreed on. I am the same way which is why I have tried to keep my mouth shut but sometimes my fingers get the best of me. Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 me too lynch id like to meet some of the guys on here Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 indeed sir, i think you should do hydrolics man, that would be so awesome, not to mention that video i posted is the only 620 i've ever seen that could do 3 wheel motion.. unless you can doit with bags???? i dont know shit about bags or hydro's (which is why i havent commented on those subjects lol..

Smiley720 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 hydros are old skool, messy, and a really bad ride (like a skateboard). air is the only way to go for adjustability Quote Link to comment
1Low620 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 why do these wanna be "mini truckers" or "rat rod" guys come on here thinkin thats what ratsuns all about... not to mention they ask questions an when someone disagrees or trys to point them in a better direction they get all butt hurt.. WHY MUST DOUCHE BAGS COME TO RATSUN? i think we should start banning mother fuckers.. who cares if they get mad an talk smack about how those ratsun guys are assholes... we've been able to do well here without the douches for a long time, now all the sudden they're commin outta the bushes holdin hands an such.. i think we should make it so new members have to be mod approved, an the mods should message these people an talk to them before they're able to join the community.. btw smiley, why dont you just do it the correct way, instead of tryin to do shit half ass? you should go to the minitrucker forums or something.. maybe they'll accept ya there.. On several mini trucking sites, you don't see lots of old datsun build threads or questions being asked about them, now when someone does ask/show pic progress 99.99% of the time they are directed to the Ratsun site. As for the thread topic, no comment..... I don't have a stick to whack the dead horse. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 me too lynch id like to meet some of the guys on here alot of the guys people think are assholes are actually the nicest most knowledgeable people.. EVERYONE should come to canby.. dont be scared we dont start big fights or beat people up, everythings all gravy an everyone always has a good time.. half the time you'll be talkin to a guy an not even realize he's on the forum until you or he asks or if he has a name tag lol.. its always nice to see everyones rides, wheather they're beat down buckets or full show cars.. if even just to have a laugh..

lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 hydros are old skool, messy, and a really bad ride (like a skateboard). air is the only way to go for adjustability hmm, that sucks.. can you make a bagged setup do 3 wheel motion?

lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 good to know, thanks :) Quote Link to comment
oldsklminitrk Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 hmm, that sucks.. can you make a bagged setup do 3 wheel motion? I can......just do the best of both worlds....install the hydros up front with the bags in the bed when you inflate the air bag it pushes fluid to the cylinder when you release the air the fluid leaves the cylinder.....What you get is good ride but less space is taken up in the front suspension....You can do it in the rear suspension also Quote Link to comment

Smiley720 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Run hydrolic cylinders on the front, the fluid line runs to another cylinder in the back that is attatched to an airbag, as air is put in and out it pushes on the fluid moving the cylinder in the front end. I saw this done on a civic about 8 years ago and totally forgot about it. that would make life so much easier on the front of the 720, thank you for the reminder Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 the lynch man strikes again muahahaha see sometimes dumb questions DO yeild good answers.. who'da thunk it heh :lol: Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am stoked to see that the whole thread settled down..man that was total BS for a while... and Smiley..you just do your thing man...See you when the snow melts. Ratsun seems to be gaining a ton of followers all the time and the site is growing in popularity among the Datsun crowd and the other mini-truck folks...it might be a great idea to not be flaming sandpaper az-wipes to each other...I think it may just be a little bit more wise than acting like caged zoo monkeys. Any monkey can fling crap. Oh..by the way...these are the 17s I was talking about...just so you can get an idea what I got...they might not be what you like anyway. If you don't like them..just write all kinds of insulting responses in a public forum, perhaps insult my intelligence or my manhood and then call me real mature sounding names...please make sure to add a smiley face that is flipping me off too..cause I love vulgarity anytime I can get it. It would be really swell if you could conclude the entire rant with the word "whatever". This short film was recently a feature on YouTube...as a conclusion to my point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRlidY7XVlo Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 awwww mannnn just when everything was settled you had to make some comments.. bah i'll let it go, this time.. :fu: btw those wheels are crappy, but tell ya what, i'll trade you straight accross for my z71's to save you some embarassment.. heh, jk they're sick!
