It uses all chevy parts including the knuckles.

I torqued it to spec and set it up like I have done many times. The inner locking nut was missing the small pin that locks the inner nut to the indexing key that is between the two nuts but since the nut was damaged when the bearing failed I don't know if the pin was gone and allowed the nut to...

I had to go rescue my son's jeep last night after he left a massive skid mark on 4700 South. He was heading home from SLCC when his left front wheel locked up at 45. When I got there I found that one of his wheel bearings had exploded. This axle is a HP F250 Dana 44 with chevy outers. The wheel...

I watched one of the PBS docu-dramas a few months back about Antartica. They were down there to study the effects of global warming and the ice packs. They said that they couldn't explain the fact that the ice pack was actually getting thicker when it shouldn't because of the warming.....

Looks like a fun trip. My kids were down there that weekend too. They did poison spider up to the waterfall which was too icy. Metal masher up to rock chucker where the snow got too deep. Gold bar to the big ledge where only my SIL was crazy enough to drop off of it with snow on it. They also...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have been making small changes to the spread sheets to improve the numbers. I have also put in placements that will fit the frame. I am planning to build some adjustability into the uppers to dial in the anti squat. The main issue I am having now is roll...

Too bad on the Atlas. Did you by chance run into my kids that were down doing the trails in Moab over the weekend ? My son had his red Comanche, son in law in a white XJ, SIL brother in a red TJ, and his friend in another XJ ? They said they met someone with a black comanche and an XJ and I...

They are a member of the cod family and quite good eating.

Here is a live web-cam picture from this morning from the Moab Rim RV campground. This link shows the Red Cliffs lodge camera: http://www.redcliffslodge.com/webcam/

Deer Creek is frozen we went up once and did OK. We fished on the north side of the island. They have caught lots of perch at Pineview. Mantua was good early on but I haven't heard much lately. East Canyon has been good this season. My dad has done well at Rockport. We have done well at...

Sorry I am late with the report on our Gorge trip. We went up on a friday afternoon to the Buckboard area and went north a ways to get away from crowds. We found a likely spot and set up for an evening attempt at the burbots. When the bite started my son in law started getting them but my son...

My problem is that I can't ever get rid of a rig and my driveway and garage are overflowing. Even after my old 330 K mile XJ got totalled by an old granny I kept most of the parts.

On my old cj7 which had stiff springs I found that a nice set of seats helped a lot.

The YJ springs are also longer than CJ springs by a bit. On my CJ I tried to use YJ lift springs but had to move the shackle mounts to get the shackle angle correct. The YJ springs sagged quickly so I went with CJ lift springs instead.

I'm not seeing one, hopefully my inbox isn't full.

Thanks, I'll stop on by once I have something that I think might work.

I'll go look that one up. There are so many posts on Pirate and you are right everyone has different ideas. I'll see what I can come up with. If I show up at your shop with some drawings to make sure I don't screw it up, what will it cost me ?

It is hard to overcome all of that training I had in school.

I have been playing with the four link calculators and reading pirate till my head aches. I am trying to come up with a good design for the four link system that I want to put on the commando project I am building. Using measurements from the commando that limit what will fit I can get a fully...
