"Thinking" about hydraulics? Check out this quick vid

--------------------------------------------- Originally posted by sonikk71 Everyone keeps talking like this is something new...comments like "hydraulics have come so far" etc. The tech to do this was always there. Nobody bothered except for some of us. I've had accumulaters on my dawg since late 95/early 96. The truck was set up with super beefy airshock mounts so all I did was go to a 6 inch side ported cylinder with a hiems joint screwed into one end and welded a shock loop into the other end. They bolted right in and rode great using greerolator accumulators! There was a pic of my setup from "Oregons main event" in minitruckin in 1996! Nobody believed me until they rode in my truck.  --------------------------------------------- yeah man this shits been present for a min, but the guys at hydroholics are just tryin to dispell some myths of juiced rides that you hear so much..."my buddy had a friend with a cousin that had juice it rode like shit.." that kind of shit. and more power to em, i just love my juice, 2 pump 36 volts 4 dumps and accumies, parkers too, i love em...nothin like hearin a pump spool up!!

I had piston style accumulators in my isuzu pup in 97 and the setup was used. I bought it from Derek who was running them back in 96. I also had those Greer accumulators a couple years later in my wagon, but they would keep blowing. I think I went through 7 of them. Which was ok, because Derek bought a whole bunch of them to turn around and sell for a profit. So you could really say that Derek has been selling hydraulic parts for over 10 years now, LOL.

That is weird cause I have had the same set in my truck since I built it in 95. 

That video is rediculous. The surface of the earth is 2/3 water. I think we have a lot more to worry about in the world other than water. I had the Greers charged up to 1000 lbs, and it rode great! I don't think they were designed to go that high though... probably why the bladders went bye bye.

Ha! I didn't even watch that video I just saw that it was labeled Hydroholics and saw that it had to do with water and not juice. But everyone knows juice is much tastier!

the song in the video is adagio for strings, kind of an interesting choice. How did that happen? lol

If I recall correctly they are arent good for anything near that.
