so i bought this friday night.... step one. remove 3" body lift, step 2 new tires(maybe), step three load on trailer for next wheeling event. I do have 40's in the garage that are not being used at the moment...
Sweet Jesus please do something with the front diff. This thing would work so much better locked up front. If you end up selling the 8 lug 44 let me know.
That is down the road. Gonna leave it mostly alone for a while.
That YJ impressed me with what it did at Clayton in 2010 with a baby open front axle. Its really not all that far off. What motor did it have in it? I think it had a 5.3 at one time many years ago.
it had a 5.3 when craig had it, now it has a tbi 350
Gonna disagree with you sparling, for what this jeep is, it's really impressed me with how capable it is.... or maybe that's just corey's driver skillz.. guess we will see how colman does with it :flipoff2:
It doesn't suck by any means, it just fell on its face every time it tried to crawl over something. A locked front would just make it so much better.
and i forgot to mention that I have a d300 with a 4:1 that is going in it..... gearing is always nice.
Original post says it had H1 wheels. Did he change that to some regular 16.5s? I thought I remember it being on aluminum 16.5s and having too much air in the tires. You need to run the 42s at 4-6 psi to make them flex well. Find some sort of double bead locks or wheels like mine for it.
it has recentered h1's, didn't originally but he put those on about 1.5 yrs ago.
i'm willing to bet open front end, gearing and bald tires all helped with that. all things i will attend to. the locker later as that will require a front end swap....
its gonna be nice to get 65% better gearing with about an hours worth of work...
O yea, and it needs round headlingts. Real jeeps have round headlights.
