Where are the pictures?

I;ve seen him driving all over the provo area, the jeep turned out looking great. My brother and I installed a lock-rite in the rear axle. Although he still needs to paint his flares haha.

I do need to post up some pics. I have had it done for about a month and like chocflip said I still need to paint it. Ran out of money after I got everything done. So there was no money left for paint. I am repainting the whole thing though so it'll look totally different. I've secretly been stashing money for the past month so a paint job could come soon. It drives great and since I did the hifender I had to get a k&n intake and since I did the long arm, I had to get new exhaust. With the 37" iroks it still has more power than previously due to those 2 things. Took it to Moab and it did awesome. Even though I did the hi fender kit, in the rear I have a little rubbing at full stuff but that'll be taken care of as soon as I trim the extra off the corner guards. I just need to remount the charcoal canister somewhere else other than the rear wheel well so I can trim. After that I should gain another 3 to 4 inches in the rear. Here's a few pics I guess....

So I was wheeling this last week and I already posted another topic that I broke my rear upper arm mount on the axle end. This is the same mount that the track bar is bolted to. So needless to say the axle is all over the place. Because of this I have a pinched brake line from the axle sliding back and forth in the sway bar mounts. A few people put the idea in my head of just eliminating the rear track bar and doing a triangulated 4 link. So needless to say, I'm doing that this next week.

 

[Cascadia]

The jeep got all finished up today...for now. This thing is never ending. The triangulated 4 link in the rear is all done. Got the rear trussed and got some new brake lines back there too. Everything was done by John at Ben Hanks. He even trailered it back to my house for me from Salt Lake and then his little girl locked his keys in the truck while we were unloading it. The truck was still running..haha. I let him take the Jeep to get his spare key. Anyways, I drove it around a bit and did some mall crawlin. It handles way better than before. I'm happy with it. Next on the list is hi steer. Anyone got a knuckle laying around?

 

[Devel]

maybe its just the pictures but it looks like the pinion should be kicked up a little higher?

Looks great though!

 

[Cascadia]

It's not the pictures. I need to point it up a bit but I was just gonna wait til I get the SYE and new driveshaft.

 

[Devel]

might consider doing it sooner so you dont wear out your U-joints

 

[Cascadia]

True, maybe I'll get on that later this week then. Didn't think of that. Thanks.

37's weight like 100 more pounds a tire i dont see the problem at all and have seen built 30s run 37's fine all day if your not throttle happy im going to run 37's on my 30 till and get 1 tons and well hold up just fine

 

[Cascadia]

I was all decided on running tons under this thing 3 days ago. As soon as I decided this, someone called me and wanted to buy my jeep. I thought okay I guess. He came today and didn't want it. So I'm back to the tons idea. I'm going to buy them before I change my mind again so there's no going back. I want tons not just for wheeling though, I want them for pulling my trailers also. I have run 37's on my 30 front and 44 rear for about a year and I haven't broke anything yet....I take that back, I broke a detroit. It doesn't really make sense but it exploded on me. I'm not throttle happy but I haven't done pritchett or anything like that since it's my daily driver. Soon enough maybe.

I killt four or five XJ D30s with 35" MTRs.... It'd be tough to get a 30 to last with 37" tires. I wouldn't quite call myself throttle happy, but there are times when you need to hit it.

Do the ton axles and don't worry about it.

 

[Gravy]

You could run 37's with RCV's. But your weak point would be the ring and pinion.

 

[UNSTUCK]

I've got a 60 if you're looking...$600.

 

[Cascadia]

I've found one but yours is a little better price. What is it out of? Is it hi pinion, kingpin, drivers drop? Anything been done to it? Got a rear to match?

 

[Cascadia]

I was at discount tire today getting a tire for one of my trailers and I got a quote for 40 13.5 17 mtr kevlars. He happened to have one in stock. So we walked around the corner and I saw this huge one sitting there. I was like, what size is that and he told me that was the 40. It's absolutely massive! It looks way bigger than my 37s I have now. I hope they fit!

Late 80's kingpin, Ford HP, 4.10, completely torn down and sandblasted. Ready for rebuild. No lockouts or rotors. I could help you will all that if you needed.
