JumperAndSon Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 And General Ike, yes, it currently has a top speed of 64mph but that is with a 4.33:1 rear end ratio. We are going to switch it to a 4.10:1 which should get us right around 70mph which would be perfect.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43829-jumper-and-son-are-back-starting-a-new-major-project/page/2/#findComment-323184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCat Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Air ride would be a nice update, you could get a cutoff with a good ratio probably for what it would cost to get better gears installed in your pumpkin.

Popular Post fxfymn Posted February 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2016 I find it pretty amazing that it takes a year to build a fire truck and you can completely disassemble it in a couple of weeks. Nice job! 3 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

I may or may not have a bunch of pix of the finished project- which towed the family RV and the family down to Virginia Beach, Va. last Saturday. If young Ben does not post anytime soon I will post some- don't wanna steal his thunder.

Hobert62 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 A finished project? Already? How did that happen?

Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted March 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2016 Here is a teaser. I have more but again don't wanna steal thunder. It came out better than I ever would have imagined. And they do plan on bringing it to Macungie and we are already talking about parking it, the FWD and the Hahn all next to each other. The Jumpers broke Man Rule #4,226 by not procrastinating at all, not even the slightest. 6 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43829-jumper-and-son-are-back-starting-a-new-major-project/page/2/#findComment-328256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a properly tuned 2-Stroke Detroit. There is no exhaust. I have oceanfront property in Phoenix, Az I am looking to sell.
