:rofl: I've noticed that I'm one of the few wheelers in the world it would seem who appreciates having a functional E-brake.

Am I the only one who knows how to use an E-brake? :ugh: :laughing:

I for one believe this is all about personal preference. My friends all drive Autos, but I prefer a manual. I have more fun with it offroad. It makes the trail seem that much more of a challange, and that way I dont get bored. Granted, wheeling on the east coast is a little different than what...

Thank you I Lean. I was just curious. Now I know haha.

What is the stock low range ratio in a D300 anyway?

Thanks for the compliments guys. They may be old, but once I get them fired up they run like champs! :D

It is a TJ and it currently has a clayton longarm kit, so most of the geometry is already figured out for me. I will try to take a closer look at this teraflex kit however, in hopes to see how everything needs to be routed in order to fit. I feel thats going to be the biggest issue here.

I could have sworn when I looked at fabtec's site they had a panhard in their 3-link wishbone kit for the rear. I did think that that would have caused binding, but i figured 'what did i know.' so i guess if that is out of the question (as i want to keep a panhard up front) I suppose i...

Panhard is there to stay, as this is a street driven rig. im kinda leaning toward a non-triangulated 4 link. i dont like the non-symmetry of a non-triangulated 3 link. must be OCD haha. I just dont think i'd trust it. but a wishbone wouldnt work up front? even with a panhard?

Sooo, its getting warmer, and I was thinking about what to do with the jeep in the upcoming weeks. One of the points on my to-do list is the issue of my control arms. I have a long-arm setup that Im beginning to think about ditching for a new homebrew set. the arms on there are pretty warn out...

Saw this thread, figured i'd contribute. My recent project, a 72' Hodaka Wombat. As it sits now: a little older pic: and what I started with: Will be getting this registered so I can ride around town this summer. I also have a 1970 Bultaco Matador that I have yet to clean up.

I have a bit of a running tally going on, and lets just say its not pretty. Ive been dating the same girl for almost four years now, and every once in a while i get to hear about how stupid it is of me to drop this much into a vehicle. So I went out and picked her up a full size 78' Cherokee...

thanks for the link. and i pulled the tape measure out and went to the hood for a good laugh... no go on an 11 wide sittin there. my windshield is only like 16" or so haha.

:laughing::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: ow. Hot coffee up nose, and on computer screen. thanks Cody :rofl: Also, you guys have me pretty sold on not putting it up top, so im going to be looking into other mounting solutions. Thanks for all the feedback so far. If only I drove something...

yes. yes i do :rofl: and although they are tough, ive already got a slash in one sidewall thats been patched. I guess this is about me just covering my bases. also, i dont know if i'll be doing a cross country trip on these tires. i may pick up a cheap set of hummer take offs because I hear...

Ive also done this before. Ive got ARBs front and rear, so it would work, but a full size spare would be nice for the type of trips i do. I will keep this idea in mind however. thanks!

Just bringing a tire and ditching the rim might not be a bad idea. i may also search for a real narrow 38 on a plain steel rim just to be safe. also, If i could find a narrow 38, i could mount it to the back deck with my rack over it. with the 14.5" wides I have now, this isnt really...

:laughing:

And really? that much? wow. that would also suck. especially because i drive a big ol brick anyway. :rofl:

I was just trying to point out that COG is the only thing im really worried about with my response. I will say that you are right, and that I was leaning toward a roof mount, but you guys have me thinking about going the other way with this. I know I must seem annoying with this, i just wish...
