bro and this will be our new

one I jumped 47

ft this may have seemed like it was a

dumb idea but you only know by time

what's up guys happy Monday we're diving

back into the Safari GTR project it's

been kind of on the back burner cuz I'm

waiting for a rear LSD the biggest

complaint I have of the car right now

rear diff is stock it opens up and we

got to fix that but in the meantime I

just got a very special package from BC

racing and that is even longer travel

shocks that's going to add an extra 2 in

of travel in the front and about an

extra inch and a half in the rear but

before we throw the long travel on I

want to illustrate to you guys what we

got right now so we're going to jump it

we're going to jump the car for the

first time we got the leftover drift

ramp I'm going to put a GoPro in the

wheel well we're going to see how the

car acts from the outside I predict

we're going to use all the bum stop that

we have and we'll throw it in the air

and show how the longer travel is going

to change how the car acts put it on

jump it again maybe even make the jump

bigger and we'll be able to learn some

cool stuff stuff together the funny

thing is this ramp is almost exactly

like the ramp we were contemplating

jumping in Colorado except we're next to

our shop so if I break something it's

not like we're stuck in the middle of

the Colorado Mountain I'm pretty excited

I've been wanting to do this for a while

this is like the most lame jump in the

world but this will be a good way

instead of just thrown Parts at the car

we can see what it did before and what

it's going to do after uh we're going to

drive off the ramp very slowly to make

sure we can make it what well I'm

curious if it has enough ground

clearance to like drive off the ledge

this High it does we went up curves

already

oh come

on oh yeah oh your mud slap hit more mud

slap keep done oh yeah you're

good

y the rear hit theud unless go fast I

feel like the exhaust maybe I'll go SL

just like walk it down the the Curve

Go real slow I can always put in

Reverse you're

good going to hit the mud

okay oh

yeah the exhaust is like film it Mike

Mike film

it let off the hard it was like yeah

we'll buckle up for this one kaai hit it

in her velociter didn't she yeah all

right so like this should be this is not

even like anything serious but it kind

of

[Music]

is

hell yeah no problem at all damn dude we

went like at the line is where we landed

yeah hell yeah I felt like I didn't even

hit the bump stops that was impressive

as hell it felt really good you landed

it like this line dude from the ramp I

mean I'll go faster I mean I guess it

made a clonk when you landed you hear it

uh no it's probably the rear though yeah

the rear I definitely feel the rear I

know has way less travel than the front

yeah I felt like um I could probably

give a couple cranks on the dampening

did it look like bouncy after it landed

a little bit I don't know we have to

watchh the CP maybe I was too ecstatic

yeah let's let's let's give some cranks

have a little more compression to

[Music]

her

[Applause]

right locked him

up that was

[Music]

nuts I feel the bum stop in the rear but

I don't even think I'm hitting it in the

front that's I was just surprising cuz

the RB is like a boat anchor so it nose

dived a little bit yeah that just has to

do with like the the spring rates and

the length of the ramp and stuff but I

mean already it's like drives really

good do well it's going to be even

better oh I definitely want to do two

ramps I don't know if I want to do two

ramps with this setup though cuz I'm

definitely in the bum stops in the rear

can I see the play back going to

pendulum

more

[Music]

see you Adam that was the best one right

that was sick he

blew I'm not going to lie that went way

better than I expected it's only going

to get better I think we're just barely

hitting the front bump stop but the rear

I could definitely feel uh you guys saw

in slowmo kind of what's going on so now

we're going to throw this thing in the

air show you guys the travel that we

have to compression and full droop and

then change out the shocks for even

longer ones and then see what it does

and hopefully we can make the jump twice

as

big don't mind me see what jumps are

supposed to feel like when you're in a

car that's made for it lucky for me I've

got a simulator that's really good

practice if you AR familiar this

simulator it's our podium one racing

ultimate simulator fed at over

$50,000 so we're giving away for every

$5 you spend you a chance to win guess

what I've got some new stuff to show you

too we got some new stuff added to the

site they took a little while to get

here but if you wanted to get your hands

on a shirt from our Australia stop of

our LZ World Tour we got a small amount

left riging from the event never going

to be made again limited sizes available

same thing with the mandelo shirts fresh

from Ireland leftovers from the event in

limited sizes both of these are on the

site in addition to for the very first

time ever we are now selling stickers

separately on the website so we've got

many different options with some of your

can be practicing in the comfort have

your own home for free 70 three Bri TI

of aest

100 turn three right a opens

0 six right of a

jump this is what we're working with we

have our shock now here with no spring

on it you can see right here here's our

bump stop and here's essentially our

stroke so what I'm going to do I'm going

to put this with a wheel on it measure

the fender Gap to put it where it sits

at ride height and we're going to see

how much droop how much compression we

have with the old shocks took a

measurement of the ride height when it

was on the ground it was about 7 1/2 in

from the edge of the rim to the fender

so this is effectively our static

position of the wheel now what we're

going to do is we're going to measure

the difference to figure out how much

total droop we have both on the shock

and on the wheel and then same thing

with compression so we can compare it to

the new shocks all right we'll measure

our total droop so from seven and a half

we go down to almost 10 so I'll say 2

and2 Ines of droop on the wheel yeah so

on the wheel 2.5

in interestingly enough the uh amount

that it is on the shock is about the

same as the wheel I was expecting there

to be some more like amplification and

from what I understand when you have

longer arms and I guess that's maybe why

people in off-road put like longer lower

control arms and stuff less shock travel

will translate to more wheel travel but

here it almost looks like we have an

equal relationship at least in droop

because 2 and 1/2 in of shock travel is

the same as 2 and2 in of wheel travel

we'll see if it's the same with

compression too all right now let's see

how much compression we have now I want

to remind you I mean you can see right

here look it's not going to be a lot

this is where the bum stop is so that's

pretty much all that we have and Watch

What Happens ready long before the wheel

is even close to hitting the

fender we're effectively going to hit

our bump stop so we're obviously

compressing the bump stop a bit but take

a look here we still have a solid three

fingers before we can hit that uh upper

Fender up there and that's what I want

to use the extra stroke for we're going

to have an extra 50 mil of stroke which

translates to about 2 in so in essence

we could leave everything the same if we

want to keep droop the same still have 2

in of compression before we hit anything

maybe this Fender will need to get

trimmed a little bit but at least

upwards we're looking like we've got

plenty of

room five so so we've got a total of 5

in of travel on the Wheel let's see what

we're at at the shock so 5 in of travel

in the front total 2 and 1/2 in of

compression 2 and 1/2 in of droop I also

do want to preface it may sound like I

know what I'm talking about but I've

never set up an off-road car in my life

I just know that droop is important and

I feel like it's probably pretty good

that we're somewhere in the middle a lot

of people when they'll raise a car for

like off-road and safari stuff they'll

essentially just max out the height of

their car and have no droop um but droop

is important to keep the tires planted

on the ground as Wheels lift up and the

car moves around and stuff it is really

interesting to me though that we're

seeing such similar changes from both

the wheel and the shock and I wonder CU

essentially the the premise is you

change the motion ratio the further out

you get but also maybe because it's not

on a lower control arm and it's not

mcferson style that's part of the reason

why we're seeing less of a change oh if

you know what off-road and you want to

comment something intelligent feel free

if it's not intelligent Feel Free as

well but I'm just being honest with you

guys what's cool though is like this is

a good place to look obviously our axle

angle is good here now ready I'm going

to drop it down and we can watch what

happens through the range of

motion pretty neat right

yeah oh that's our sway bar acting up

yeah that's pretty cool first thing

we'll do is measure droop and on the

wheel we have about an inch and a half

so less than we had in the front on the

shock again even in the rear you know

maybe it's a little overkill for me

doing this I just expected to see much

bigger difference I know in the rear for

sure if the wheel was out farther than

we would have a bigger change in the

motion ratio but inch and a half of

droop is the same both on the wheel and

the shock four so about 2 and 1/2

in of compression in the rear so that's

good we had about the same amount in the

front and the rear yeah but

interestingly enough we were hitting

bump stops in the rear so do we have

room to go up higher yeah a lot this is

going to be a problem I think mud flap

probably but also who cares right all

right here's the numbers that you should

really care about we had a total of 5 in

of travel in the front split evenly

between droop and compression we had a

total of 4 inches of travel in the rear

uh split kind of more favoring 2 and 1

half inches of compression one and half

inches of droop uh the rear I know we

need more travel because we're hitting

things and it sounds aggressive the

front we haven't yet but we're going to

add travel to both and then we're going

to take measurements and see where we

land I just realized something we have

an arm bindage thing going on in the

rear so so I don't think my dro

measurement was correct cuz it was

sitting about here and then I pulled

down you see yeah it might even go more

than that it almost need to like measure

while I hang down oh God is the front

like that

too no front's front's maxed yeah the

rear though I mean that tells us that

there's no point in adding any more

droop than this one has right this makes

much more sense now instead of 1 and 1

12 in of droop we actually have

technically 3 in we're just not able to

use all of it which means in the rear we

have more travel in the front a 5 and

1/2 in

which now makes me feel better because I

knew that I had more stroke on the

shocks in the rear but something wasn't

adding up um to fix that uh we would

probably just need to get different

joints I imagine something here probably

this ball joint right here actually

binding yeah something is just making it

hesitant to change in motion yeah that

one's pretty steep and it could be

something too where we just crack all

these loose and then retighten them and

then they want to more

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

she so this is the longest available

skew from BC racing which is 185 mil of

stroke which equates to about 7 and 1/4

in which would take us up about 2 in

both in the front and the back not too

shabby so we're going to swap over the

parts confirm our measurements and we're

going to actually figure out where we

want to set the shock body based on

where we want the bump stop to hit so

I'm going to time that so it hits right

before it hits the chassis that way I

don't have any rubbing issues and then

we'll set the spring height to get the

ride height from there kind of backwards

compared to how a lot of people do it it

takes more time but it's the right way

to do it so you hit the bump stop

instead of the chassis all right we're

going to take a look at the rear first

right off the rip we can see that we've

got more stroke in the rear not a huge

amount but it's going to be enough to

make a difference and because we have a

shorter shock what we're going to be

able to do is thread this in more which

is going to allow us to have more

compression in the rear before we hit

the bump

stop

what I'm essentially doing now is kind

of a little bit backwards I'm adjusting

to get it to be as long as possible

before it doesn't reach Max droop on its

own and then that's probably how I'm

going to dictate where the bump stop up

top is rather than having the wheel go

all the way up until where it's almost

going to touch the frame that might be a

little excessive but before as you

remember we had like this area where we

able to pull the wheel down we don't

really want that we want it to be able

to naturally fall all the way all the

way so we'll see where we're at now as a

starting point we can still get our

measurements we just might play around

with where that Center Point is Tire

lets us go

now might need to clearance the mud flap

a little bit in

back it's called self clearancing I mean

at least it's not the bumper It's just

mud flap all right so this is our new

Max compression point we're not touching

the chassis that's good so that's good

now let's get our measurements stany

boy

so if we use the same starting point if

we keep the car at the same ride height

we'd have 5 in of compression which is

double what we had

before so in the rear we've got a total

of 6 and a/4 inch travel so we went up

about an inch of travel in the rear but

the important thing is we weren't

actually using all the droop before if

you remember we lost out on like an inch

and a half because of where it was

settling so now we'll actually be able

to use a full range of motion so it's

really like we're going from like 3 or 4

in up to six I want to have a little bit

more droop than that though so now what

we can do is we can adjust the shock

body if we know that we want to keep our

height the same as before cuz I

definitely don't want to lower it so

what I'll do is I will raise the shock

more based on my target ride height I'm

going to leave the bump stop right

around this area it could go up farther

in the wheel but then I would

essentially have to run it at a lower

ride height where ground clearance is

pretty important for what I'm using it

for so this is our total stroke in the

rear and I think once I have the spring

on there that will help pull it down

extra tiny little bit that we get but

it's a decent amount yeah for the front

I was a bit of a dumb dumb my

measurements didn't take into account

one really important thing if we're

looking to get the wheel to go higher up

into the wheel well the only way to do

that is to change this length no matter

what the bum stop is saying the same so

when the shock's all the way compressed

the length is going to be from here to

here I didn't take account for the fact

that it was already pretty much bottomed

out on the shocks that I had and I went

even longer so the biggest problem is no

matter what we would actually have less

compression if we kept ride height the

same I really don't want to go too much

higher on the car because everything is

really happy right now so what I'm going

to need to do is order another shock

that is either the same length or

slightly shorter ideally we'd be

probably like 10 or 20 M shorter so for

now what I'm going to do sacrifice a

little bit of droop you can see this is

what it was before this is what it is

now we shorten the shock body all the

way now so we're going to sacrifice a

little bit of droop for a little bit

more compress pression in the front

which should help uh quite a bit with

jumping the only one way to find

out I apologize if I've lost you at any

point in this video I've essentially

lost myself probably 13 times today cuz

I realized something and then I realized

something else that completely

contradicts what I realized my latest

Discovery you see how long I I have to

make the spring now before when I was

just going to run this tiny little

spring up here we did the math and this

spring fully compressed is 3 in in and

if the spring is 3 in long we're going

to have the spring bind before we're

even into the bump stop and then I want

to look to the front and I was like huh

I wonder if it's the same problem the

shock is right here so if the spring

bottoms out at 3 in yeah we're like not

even going to be able to really get into

that bump stop so the front I guess I

would technically need to lower a little

bit to avoid that so I'll lower this

perch back down oh boy I'm doing my own

head in yeah all right here's your new

droop if you want to look at it we're

about to lower it down on the ground

ride height staying about the same but I

took out a little bit of reverse rake

come and look at our new numbers over

here the front unfortunately because of

my bad math we're we're left with the

same amount of 5-in travel but we now

have an extra 3/4 in of compression and

a little less droop but the rear we've

gone from 2 and 1 12 in of compression

up to 4 and A4 droop we lost an inch

however we fixed a lot of other stuff so

we're actually getting full travel with

the suspension we're no longer having

spring binding so everything should be a

lot happier and hopefully we'll be able

to see that off the Jump

too

[Music]

[Music]

on

y'all did some that rebounded

immediately good job guys heck yeah that

look it looks way different does it like

when it lands it like takes that yeah so

you can actually see a difference I

think so that's really nice to know that

all day is work of changing Springs

around made I think you doing anything

so I'm I'm surprised good job the uh

it definitely like I hear a rubbing

noise now but I don't think it's the

tire hitting the fender I think it was

the mud flap rubbing yeah in the rear I

should probably trim those um but yeah

it definitely feels a little bit

different I'm going to hit it a bit

faster now and then we'll double stack

the rims cuz why not oh

[Music]

God yo he sent that thing that was sick

I that a lot he's going to fly

oh I broke the ramp hey can we use the

other one on top of it will that fix

it did it does it actually look

different yeah yeah no it does it feels

different the compression is way less

now it takes it what when it lands yeah

well it should be more it should take it

better I think it has something to do

with raising the spring so high in the

back so when you raise it too much that

does actually amplify the spring ratio

yeah I do want to lower it back down a

little bit why can't you stop what why

can't you stop I can you're like going

in the shed every time dude you need to

settle down let's go another ramp on it

yeah two let's

go are you sure bro yeah we'll be all

[Music]

right oh

man

[Music]

sizing them

up oh my

God

[Music]

bro I broke something holy thank God I

was wearing my helmet that hurt yeah I

wish we had a GoPro in the car yeah I

hit the front bash bar I think yeah you

did oh no did I tweak the front end just

on the bottom that was no the headlight

popped out this headlights broken here

yeah no that means I pushed up the rad

support that was just dumb

God I didn't think double the height

would be that big of a difference I said

not to do it I said it that was dumb we

I'm just not stoked about moving my

headlight did it hit the the fan it

looks a little close in there but oh my

God bro no oh man I shattered the

headlight yeah you did oh no big sad on

that how is that's crazy the bumper did

the bumper move it had to have bent the

the front crash bar but you do you think

it bent the frame yeah I mean that Bol

to the frame I heard some crazy noise in

back God this thing was like perfect it

was like Immaculate I'm just saying in

retrospect I think the problem is the

ramp was too sudden this happened to me

before in a Crown Vic actually so the

car didn't have time to settle so as

soon as the rear compressed it acted

like a nose dive ramp I was worried

about the front bash bar hitting but

like that was bad that's pretty high

that's that's that's some Quality Air

time yeah that's pretty nuts yeah

definitely not doing that again damage

report the front crash bar actually took

brunt of it and it seems like it did its

job however the I don't think the frame

is tweaked I think where this ties into

the factory bumper is tweaked mhm so

either we'll need to bend that down or

worst case scenario um red it's probably

going to be a just slide out what

probably look how look how much higher

the bumper is no yeah that's because I

think it's because this is p pushing it

up right now so I think once we fix that

frame looks okay I'm glad we didn't tie

into the radiator support that would

have been bad news look this may have

seemed like it was a dumb idea but you

only know by

trying yep a landing would have been

nice for this actually yeah we had a

Third ramp I was kind of impatient why

do I have a weird thump on my chest you

need to get out from under that

headlight before a piece of glass Falls

in your eye hole I can't believe that

broke my headlight I know hella bummed

about that look at how far I landed from

the jump that's true that's crazy I

didn't think about that I'm going to

count it you ready one my neck is

starting to hurt a little bit my back

doesn't hurt I learned oh I stopped

counting I learned my lesson and I

strapped in real tight for that one

[Music]

one 47 ft

I jumped 47 feet look at it from

here that's crazy you can't even oh my

God I'll go further there I

won't not in that yo go get the side by

side that'll feel like

butter yeah dude that's insane that

looks crazy you can jump the pwn you

could bro you're not wrong you could

have actually jumped the pawn the

problem is though you land on an incline

I regret my decision but I don't don't

regret it enough to where I wouldn't

have done it again I know I now know the

limitations pretty much irrelevant what

I just did we got the shock data from

the lower jump y but I wanted to see if

it was I mean to be fair this isn't

really a shock test if the car went

level this was just a uh a test for the

car basically I'm pretty sure when

people do big jumps with cars they have

like people that do math and like

calculate to determine where the landing

will be you were the calculation for

this so now we know where you're going

to land and now a boat anchor yeah in

the front but now we know where we can

put the fall down ramp not before we do

our damage report I've had uh an evening

to reflect on my actions of jumping the

GTR in a way that I probably shouldn't

have I want to be very clear about

something two major problems one the

ramp is too short I know this from

watching other videos of cars jumping

talking with Colette talking with other

people that jump cars there needs to be

enough space on the ramp for the car to

hit compress and settle before it leaves

the ramp I essentially hit and before

before the rear Rim was done compressing

it basically was back up in the air way

to avoid that maybe I could have gone

slower but I exaggerated the problem if

you're watching the footage I'll play it

again listen to the throttle I lift

before the rear wheels are off the Jump

and that also unloads the rear and sends

me on a nose

dive oh my God regardless I don't think

that uh I should be jumping that high

not really relevant to what I wanted to

test on the shocks but we now know the

limitations of the car so I can avoid

doing that in other scenarios good news

is skid plate worked great uh bash bar

worked great didn't damage any radiators

didn't damage intercooler didn't damage

oil pan on a normal car if you jump it

like that you're smashing a lot of stuff

so in one way we pass the test you think

about it 3500 lb with 60 MPH of momentum

came all down to this bash bar that Bell

made and didn't total the car pudos the

Bell yeah that's pretty legit so we're

going to pull it off see what we messed

up hopefully we can bend These Bars back

downward I've got some headlights that

hopefully we can Hodge bodge together to

fix these unfortunately they're

expensive ones but could have been a lot

worse could have been a lot better also

[Music]

though damage report in the rear that's

it I guess a little scrap in the muffler

too that's not too bad no you know it's

funny it's good that I made it so the

wheels can go all the way in like I I

basically adjusted it as the wheel could

compress more but if I had the old setup

where be hitting the bum stops way

sooner that wouldn't happen yeah but

that's okay I'd rather that happen than

how the car bounce and feel terrible

yeah look at this

dude this is like not even a scrape yeah

everything basically caught right here

which I suppose is a good thing mhm so

let's see what we got to do to take this

front bash bar off we'll take this plate

off take these off looks like

everything's good up there so it's

probably just that front bash BR that

Twisted no bent bolts no broken heads or

anything fingers crossed yeah

[Music]

that was glass from my headlight I

that that's so heavy what a cool what a

cool

plate I think it probably helped that

they're slotted so instead of bending

the bolt it can kind of move around a

little

bit I'm really happy with how

serviceable Bel made everything makes it

really easy this may have actually just

got a lot easier if you look um that

bolt up there that's where the bash bar

mounts you you can see it just kind of

it slotted and it slid up so what we can

do literally loosen it push it back down

it should be golden yeah it's like it

was designed to take impacts reset

itself you should just fall back down

here all right all right go ahead ready

yeah oh my God that was it yep holy that

was a lot look bumpers back lined up oh

the corner lights are good dude we

man that was crazy that was oh I don't

think you only seen the video no I

showed the video this morning he was

like dude what the heck I'm way less

regretful of my decision now that I

understand that I really didn't damage

much headlights is an L for sure but

Adam it was pretty cool it wasn't

calculated and it definitely was

careless but that was that's that's one

of those in the- moment hype things

where you just want to go bigger been

here that day and she wasn't yeah no she

would she would have yelled at me for

not that you know I got home she goes

you let off the gas too early are you

serious yeah she's right she's not wrong

any normal human would have took the

intake off me you're not normal human

hell

yeah that's not a good thing yes it is

means I'm a ficient it's the opposite of

a fish oh hello there so you can

actually buy um replacement lenses for

these so we're not going to throw these

away yeah I knew that

yeah going to give them away not having

me Sean won't let me give things away if

you guys wonder why lzmfg sales are down

it's all cuz of Booth Booth

Consulting oh

[Music]

man I needed the little receiver for the

other

one now I got it all right we're going

to wrap up the video here spoil alert

for the next video the GTR is going to

finally be getting an aftermaret LSD in

the rear plus some other new goodies so
