how would yall mount the crossmember?
bushing & tabs like: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/...ing-p-154.html
plate the ends of the cross member, and run bolts horizontally through frame rails
or built a bracket above/below cross member and run bolts vertically through the ends of the cross member?
thinking of building it out of 1.5"x3"x3/16"
or?
paint awesomeness
there are a bunch of old school chassis design books in evans, and the ones I read state this is the way to go.
45* will prob. work, but there are some calculations like an intersecting line at the cog.
This is what I wanted to do to the sunbeam, but space constraints made me do it the way you first posted. The engine mounts are done similar.
dont know how i would accomplish that? this is the mount i plan on using. which way would still be best to attach the cross member to the frame?

then there is this way. but i dont like the way it mounts(read too much on breakage) and lack of full protection. seems like the case would still suffer from a shock.

I would think a hard mount (bolt directly to the frame). Two sets of bushings would let it move too much, no?Quote:

so no bushing on the x-member.
which is better?
first one is cheaper and easier to make, and you end up with more room.
Work smarter, not harder. Which ever one is easier to remove from the vehicle.
if you dont have anything to sleeve the frame with the first one will not be as good. the second can be done with all flat plate if you added a flange to the side of the crossmember you wouldnt need sleeves for the crossmember tube eaither.
WTF could cause a fuel pump relay to get fuggin hot while the truck is running and possibly blow the ECM fuse and maybe even make the horn relay hella hot even though the horn hasnt worked in over a year?
electrical issues...Quote:

voltage regulator maybe? I would think all those circuits are separate so my guess would be something in the charging system
How do I Identify a Dana 300 from other jeep cases like the Dana 20? Doesn't the Dana 20 say Dana 20 on the case somewhere in cast letters? Does a 300 have the same type of name spelled lit on it?
No, it does not say Dana 20. It is something with the bottom of it.Quote:

if its a jeep 300 it has the round pattern, aluminum rear output housing, flat oil pan, and all but 1 year of them have the easily removeable speedo gear held in by a fork clip thing.

Jeep thanks flem
oh i thought you were asking what a 20 looks like
300... what flem said
a 20 has a texas pattern if jeep, 300 is round 6
is a ford kingpin dana 60 with drums worth anything? it is out of a 1975 f250 custom crewcab... had a divorced t-case but that is already missing. can it be converted to disc?
I'm assuming closed knuckle?Quote:

by the way... j-yards have almost nothing but clunkers in them right now... some of them it was a shame to see in there... really clean tahoes, lots of jeeps and broncos
I also found what would be a perfect donor vehicle for the "emma project" too bad i killed that plan
killing that plan when you did was the smartest thing you've ever done.
ever.
i dont disagree... but it would have been cool if it happened... would have been nice one ton, 37"s and an atlas 4 speed
in newer dodge trucks how do you reset the change oil warning in the overhead... i got the oil changed at walmart instead of at the dodge house and it is still on
I'm not gonna lie...if I ever run across a RAV-4 body and frame for cheap the uglytruck's gonna become a drivetrain donor.Quote:

For real though, I don't have a clue. Posting the idea was as far as I've gotten on the "project." (;)) That and looking at one at a stoplight and thinking about how to cut the fenders. They look remarkably like a Prado though. edit: I swear I saw a prado-badged rav-4 in Morocco but none of the pics of prados that I can find looks like a rav-4
Cruise control lever on left side of steering wheel, also functions as blinkers and high beam lever.
I am cruising down the highway (no literally, cruise control is on and working). As soon as I:
Use the blinker
Turn on/off the high beams
Depress any pedal (gas, brake, clutch)
The cruise shuts off
It will also shut off randomly, the only way to get it back on (that I have figured out anyway) is to shift to neutral, hold down the clutch, kill the motor, and start it back up.
Is it possible this thing has some water damage?
Thanks in advance.. going to take it in to the stealership tomorrow
more likely that it's just a volkswagen and be happy that cruise is the only electrical problem. And turning your car off at 80mph is a bad idea. Worse than most of your ideas, even.
meh, I do it all the time whenever the stage 2 airbag deployment goes wacko. Beats having the blinkers on the entire trip, or wasting time pulling over.
As long as you know that any power assist options are dead when the motor is off whats the big deal?
I would trust you to have sound enough judgement to only do this at an appropriate time. The key word here being "you" :)Quote:
