Back in it, and made good forward progress today. Dana rear is all welded and waiting for paint to make it look pretty. 16 days and counting till we leave and feeling concerned. Moved the track bar mount as far left as we could comfortably, and we’ll have to be happy with that.

So I’m confused on why these are more prone to contact than others. I’m assuming the tie rod offset is standard, so they have a shorter arm on the casting? Giving up uptravel would suck.

Having the ability to lift the body off to work on shit must be really cool. It looks like you’re having a lot of fun. How long is this supposed to take?

Try having someone with a volt meter check the battery voltage while touching the posts only, while trying to crank it. If that checks fine, then put the leads on the cables only, while cranking.

This was one of the albums that you could listen to the end, and start it all over again. And again. And again.

Sometimes.

The older I get, the better I like Kid Rock. This dude is hanging with absolute big wigs and acts like his house is still on wheels. Grounded, pretty cool.

Started working on the sliders this week. Mapped the Jeep out before I tore everything down in November and recently started putting it to metal. The design is similar to what I used on the JK and I was happy with how it worked. I bent up a sample piece and like the way it looks so I cut the...

Sounds like a very fun time. Anxious to hear back what you use the super low for.

So is the 3.8 the lowest in the set? Is this going to require new drivelines?

Very nice. What made you decide to do that?

Finished welding the third link bracket for the axle. When it cools I’ll drill the holes from the template I made from the dimensions I got from Dynatrac. Hope the axle is swinging by the weekend.

Farming season is upon us so not much time to spend on the Jeep, but finally got the engine skid done. I anchored it to the rear of the engine mounts. I used a piece of solid 2 in long and threaded it to the M10 of the bolts that hung down about an inch. I threaded the other side to 3/8 which is...

We didn’t make it down there last year because of the birth of our grandson. Made it the two years prior and it had noticeably changed.

Enjoying your posts of Moab, I hope to own a piece of it someday. It looks like you’re having fun. Is it crowded? My son saw Nate heading East today driving his Toyota following a couple of JLs on a trailer. Kinda jealous. Have fun.

Super cool. The OG VanHalen fans had a struggle with the VanHagar thing, me included, but let it go. Everything is cool, give it time.

I’ve never had one go bad on a solid axle, but my wife’s H2 drove like shit when they went bad and never had any feedback in the wheel. I just went back several pages, looks like you’ve been fighting this awhile. Do you have balancing beads?

Unit bearing?

What did you end up with for the caster angle? Curios also as to the joint angle at the axle. .
