    Front tube fender question

    That would be good I don't really want to take the fenders forward a bunch. I think I'll stop by the place that I usually have inspect my jeeps and see what they say just to be on the safe side. Do your 4 inch flare fenders cover the tire width wise ?

    Front tube fender question

    I am planning on making some tube fenders/flares for the commando project and have some questions on how to make sure they are street legal. I know that I have to cover the full width of the tread and I'll need mud flaps that go to the center line of the rear wheel. My main question is on the...

    It has bounce I realized its been quite a while since I updated this thread. Here are some pictures of my latest work on it, I got the springs and long arms in it. The welding isn't complete, there will be more plating added for strength but I wanted to see how it was going to look with the...

    submarine jeep?

    That is a test of the new red and black Wrangler rapalla. I saw a similar thing happen up at East Canyon many years ago. Some guy managed to get his truck and camper into the lake. All you could see was the top vent of the camper. On another trip to Utah Lake I saw a truck they had just pulled...

    That is my plan, it actually looks quite clean and hopefully won't draw any unwanted attention.

    my axle shaft's wont go in all the way??

    I slid the axle shafts into the semi float 60 that I am working on under my current project to check wheel clearances and it has a gap just like that. I don't have the backing plate on the axle and for my axle that is the only difference from when I got the axle complete. The carrier also isn't...

    my axle shaft's wont go in all the way??

    The gap is where the brake backing plate would normally go. You need a spacer to fill the gap. Some people cut the center out of the backing plate and put that in or they install spacers that come with most disc kits.

    Rear Dana 60 disc brake options

    I would have to call since I don't see what I need on his lists. There are plenty of eight lug conversions that I have found but not many 5 lug.

    Rear Dana 60 disc brake options

    I have a Dana 60 for my commando project that I would like to replace the small drum brakes on. It is a semi floater F100 axle and most of the upgrade options I have found are for the full floaters. I have done a lot of web surfing to see what I can find. I have seen three basic options for...

    HELP: TACH CONVERSION QUESTION???

    The six cylinder tach wouldn't read correctly with the signals from the 350 so some conversion or aftermarket tach would be needed. I should hook up my oscilloscope to both and compare the waveforms to see what it would take to convert the signal.
