Winch prices have more than enough markup for them to still be making plenty on the M8000 at $500.Quote:

oh watch drivesshaft/ upper link mount clearance
I just googles warn m8000. A website had it for 539 with 10% off. It expired the 20th though
well I played around with the 3-link parts a little and figured out how all the brackets go together. I will have to get the axle under it to see where everything will mount on the frame and axle though. It is a whole lot less confusing once you figure out that 4 of the pieces go together to create one bracket, two pieces weld to the lower link bracket for the one upper link and there are two spare pieces that are opposite if you are running other side drop axle.
All i got done today after work was I got all the inserts welded into the links and the Johnny joints put on them. I am off Monday and Tuesday and hope to atleast get the framerail cleaned up, pull the 60 from under th bronco and set it under the jeep, lay out everything and see how it is all going to fit under there. Also gonna try and figure out exactly where my wheelbase is gonna end up. I think it is gonna be 110-112".
i worked on the 3-link today and made some good progress. I think I have it how I want it now. I started with the upper link on the pass side but then moved it to the driver side. Busa said it works better on the pumpkin side and it turns out it fits better on that side anyways. I still have lots of grinding to clean things up before I can weld anything in place. My torch screwed up. I had been using it off and on all day, I came back from lunch turned the bottles on and the oxygen bottle PSI went through the roof and blew my hose up. I think my gauge took a crap on me or something because it didn't get adjusted at all from when I used it earlier. Not having the torch is gonna slow progress down a lot.
Sounds like the diaphragm on your regulator took a ****. Some can be rebuilt, just take it to your local welding supply and see if they have parts for it. (I would just get a new one and be done with it though I believe.)
it is a victor and should be able to rebuild for cheaper
There are pics from today on facebook if anyone wants to tell me I am doing something wrong
it is looking good, but i do not know anything about link setups so i guess its not worth much
Just get a new regulator it is like 50 bones.
picked up a master cylinder and ordered a new oil pan. Pan should be in tomorrow. I need to sell some more crap. My off-road account is now in the red.
started to swap the master. I came across this problem. The area circled in red is different. The New one is a smaller size. his means it will not work correct?
nice steel toes...
Thanks. they have been good boots.
I'm pretty sure that is what they call the bore diameter and yes they do have to be the same. I would look up the part descriptions on someones website and see what it said. I remember having to match the bore size when of the yj master when I switched to the corvette one.
No. Bore size is the diameter of the hole for the piston. In these swaps, what you're trying to do is get a bigger bore to push more fluid for the bigger brakes.
As far as will it work, I wouldn't know. Will it bolt up? Is that the one everyone else uses? If so, get to searching the pirate and the google to see if anyone else has had the issue.
ya that makes sense kopeckers. I remember it being like 1 1/8" on mine which is smaller than the OD he had circled.
The mounting flange looks bigger on the new one (but it could be the angle of the pic). Same app as the swap on pirate4x4?
it bolts up fine and it is the one everyone else uses. just doesnt seem right to me
that area that you circled is going to be bigger because the MC has a bigger bore therefore a larger piston.
it is right bolt it up and go
if you haven't seen this. . .

Pulled the Oil pan to put the new one on and the Oil Pickup is a little smashed. Do I need to replace it or just leave it. It isnt that bad and doesnt seem to limit flow.
The pickup assembly is 16 bucks at oreilly...just do it.
Made a little progress on the jeep today.
-installed new Oil Pan (no leaks yet cross fingers)
-installed new Master Cylinder
-Got Fuel lines plummed and gas tank secured
-reinstalled factory tail lights(temporary fix until i find some flush mounts I like)
-got 3-link brackets welded up to the frame
I started it up for the first time in many months. sounds good without a muffler but it will see an exaust shop as soon as it is mobile.
I just ordered the PSC Full Hydro, Austin is gonna pick it up from Lance's house and bring it down next weekend.
Austin will be in town tomorrow night and we are determined to get the jeep mostly done this weekend. Clayton is only a few weeks away and my jeep is gonna make it damnit. Goals for the weekend are brake lines and bleed system, full hydro setup, finish up front suspension, transmission crossmember, transfercase shifter. The. All I will have left is set front gears, exaust, and driveshafts. I think that is prettymuch it.
Hell yeah! Do work son!
I think I've sung this song before.:flipoff2:Quote:

Thank God...I hate getting felt up by a dude when I'm trying to work.:D
I plan on going with Fox air shocks for the front suspention. I was wondering how much travel should I go with?
why dont you flex it out and see how much travel you have first?:flipoff2:
GD captian ovious has joined the boards
Because it is 3-link and the air shocks will be the limiting factor.Quote:
