My third bobber

[Joeinderry]

Just posting a pic of my 3rd bobber build. Still needs a little finishing. The turbo is a screamer.

Snorkel, light bar, and MRAPs... I like it! What size tires are those? Did you do much different on the third one that you wish you would have on the first 2?

Nice looking truck.. did you go with the M105 springs?

The 3rd one I did the M105 bed, I like the look better. The driveshaft was also extended 12". I made a visor for the roof. Put a lot of marker lights on it. Raised the bed 3" above the frame. I'm not sure what size tires they are (too cold to go and check, but they are 47" tall. I think the next truck I do will be a winch truck, I'd use trailer springs because they seem to give a smoother ride. Also would extend the drive shaft maybe 24" and extend a trailer bed by 2'. It would also have to have a dump system installed. These trucks sure are fun to play with.

I put in some front springs. I do like the ride of the trailer springs better though, seems less bouncy. Trailer springs are more difficult to install than the front springs as well. Next truck will get the trailer springs.

You should look at air ride for the rear. Welldigger did this on another truck, came out nice.

You wouldn't believe the ride quality. After building one truck with it I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Nice looking bobber. I'm torn on whether I want to build myself a bobber one day.

I can't remember, did you do standalone air bags, or air bags over spring?

 

[welldigger]

Uh I believe it would be called air over spring. There are leaf spring like things that attach to the axle and are anchored by perches. Then the bags attach to the rear of the springs and to the chassis.
