being comfortable when you're behind the wheel for extended periods of time is critical. I know we usually deal with wheeling stuff, but daily driver road manners are more important in some cases.

Well, this happened. Onto the front axle next. Then the stock control arm mounts get removed, and the "frame rails" get prepped for unibody stiffeners. There will probably be some other general disassembly of non-essential stuff as well. In the meantime, the SD axles are going through final...

Teraflex has a bunch of RHD stuff available due to the demand in the overseas markets, such as Australia. Joe Thompson is the international guy, and would be able to answer most RHD questions.

thats a possibility. The hard part would be routing the fuel lines. I'll have to figure out if there are any "openings" in the unibody that i can use. The 4600 rulebook is very particular about making new holes.

been carrying this Gerber Paraframe for the past few months; been pretty happy with it so far.

This apocalypse is taking much longer than I anticipated. Anyway, not much of an update, but i finally got the front 60 all cleaned up. anyone else who has removed the brackets off of an 05+ super duty axle will know how tedious that process is. The extra 2" that needed to be removed for the...

aint that the truth! its taken me a month to do maybe 8 hours worth of work on my build.

so what're the chances that DCRC 2020 is actually gonna happen?

Had a couple free hours last night, so I went out and got to work on the driver side of the 60. Between an angle grinder and a porta band, it went pretty well. The porta band worked great, as long it was able to fit it where it needed to be.

might be able to swing by later on for a beverage

might be nice to "switch up" EJS from the way its been. shuffle the deck, so to speak

just rumors right now from what i've seen. Someone said it was cancelled during the meeting, but then the motion failed. so who knows whats going on. there has been no official word from the RR4W yet.

ive heard 2.6 ecoboost

hmm.....the ZJ is gonna need beadlocks, and ive already got some 17" steel wheels..... 🤔

Got the passenger side mostly cleaned up last night; just have to remove the sway bar mount when I pick up a few more cut off wheels. Took me about 2 hours or so to get it to this point. Trying to track down a porta-band to make the drivers side go a bit quicker. I’ve also been told diamond...

can't use the stock tank, and can't cut for any reason other than roll cage clearance. stock class is VERY limited.

yea there is a rule about a firewall between the cell and passenger compartment that must be at least shoulder height. still just weirds me out a little i guess. The other part of an internal fuel cell would be the location of the fuel filler, as that must be "outside the passenger compartment"...

Yea it will be a challenge, but with some creative engineering, it shouldn't be impossible. One of the bigger question marks that i currently foresee is going to be the fuel system; 4600 class rules state that you must run a fuel cell. The ZJ's stock fuel tank is behind the rear axle under the...
