this is not an option. Wheelin is life! :D:D:D

In high school, I had a '51 flattie. Should have never sold it. almost 20 years later, I finally have the financial ability to purchase another jeep. Of course, I had no idea that it would become a huge money pit that eats my paycheck before I even get a chance to see the amount of the check! :D

Won't take you too long before the addiction takes over, and you will begin to care less and less how it looks, and more and more how it works. Soon it will look like grocerygetter's ride!! welcome!!

I know SukaB will make bends for you pretty cheap. you should PM him. His number is also posted on this board somewhere. They guys at rocklogic are also equipped to do bending. You might try giving them a call as well.

you know, that is why there are different classifications of sport.... this one happens to fall into the motorsport classification. whether you compete or not, it is a motorsport

I think he means 6x5.5 lug pattern. Same as toyota, chevy

Triple!!!!!!!

When it is warm, have you actually pulled a plug cap and checked the spark? Also check your timing. do a compression test when its hot and when its cold. compare the two. If you find low compression, do a leak down test in the cylinders both hot and cold. look for leaky valves or rings...

Looks like a killer area. Perhaps we should plan an RME trip out that way??:D

At this point, I'm planning on being there. Who knows some trails in that area? we could do a little ride afterwards.

yeah, a little :D [B] For new stuff, you're right you probably have the best deal in town. Used rebuildable is a different story [B] I'll let you know. The BlackSheep against the BlackWolf??? I don't stand a chance in hell, but I'll give it a shot :p [B] the ones on my...

careful suka.....the lift I currently have is probably the cheapest out of the box kit on the market for a TJ..... You've seen it in action, it doesn't do bad. I'm working on making it better though.

Thanks for all the input. I'm going to stop by and see 1/4 elliptic and see about getting it fixed up.

thanks, but fabbing something up is gonna cost me a lot less than what I would spend buying something from rockkrawler. Especially since this axle's life is limited only by my ability to get the 44s built up (and those are limited by my $$)

The whole reason I bought the trailer. I didn't necessarily want to make it a trailer queen, but when stuff like this happens, I am very glad it is.

James, I think you meant to say tire width.

Yep, that's right, Desert Mountain claims a second wound on this victim. Somewhere along the way, I broke my lower front p-side control arm mount. What a Bi#ch!! Looking for suggestions on how to most effectively repair. should I cut both front lowers off and have new mounts welded on...

For a bolt on, direct buy, I say go with Rubicon Express 4.5" or 5.5" Xtreme duty long arm kit. A bit pricey ($2200-$2300 not including shocks), but excellent lift If you're on a budget, talk to SukaB (on this board). He has a long arm kit that isn't terribly expensive.

Yeah, after reading jamesgeoligist's post, looks like I need to brush up on my terms a bit more. It makes sense that backspacing and inset/outset/offset would be seperate measurements.

Jeremy, got to argue this point with you. The backspacing is typically measured from the center of the wheel. For truck (like you drive for work) it is called inset or outset. I would say that he has 2.5" outset (the center of the tire is out 2.5" from the wheel mounting surface.
