That's pretty much what I did. Works.
Did the same on my pump and it does work.
For the ram mount I used 1.5" chromo, ran it through the bender and welded it in. It's mounted in between the spring perch and housing.
i didnt do any mods to my pump, and it runs fine
the ram should not be too hard to mount
it just may not be completely where you would like it
I moded my pump I'm not sure it did much good. If you have the pump out I would do it, if not I would leave it stock. John did you see the 39.5 tsl's with rims on craigslist Houston?
if your looking for tires. . .

those r the fittings u need john
I got the fittings and a cooler yesterday. Summit's delivery is fast.
what size bore and what length stroke did you choose for your ram?
1.75 bore
8" stroke
.75" rod
The Donkey has 40s on the way:D
sweet, what kind, did you get chromo shafts too
IROKS.
No bling shafts just yet.
The insert was broken. Here it is next to the beefy PVC insert from 406 YJ on Pirate
how did you break it?
Another insert was also broken, but had not completly seperated yet. The new ones are probably 3/4" thick whereas the old ones are probably 1/4". It is sitting on jackstands awaiting new tires, new spindles and bearings, and hydo assist. Hopefully I can get someone at Dexter house to weld the tabs on for the ram and it should be ready for Clayton.
I dunno. I just know I was surprised when I lost a bead at Katemcy. We reseated the bead and I did not feel like breaking the tire down until I had to for new tires. Those inserts were cheesy. It was like a flat peice of plastic, rolled into a circle, then somehow melted back together. It seperated at that seam.Quote:

I hope to not have to break them down for a good long time, but I will definitely check them out next time I do. I wonder how hard it is to get the new thicker insert into the tire. With a little bit of water, the thinner ones slide in pretty easy.
I am not looking forward to it.Quote:

The tire lube I used to use here at work was nothing more than vegi oil with some type of stabilizer in it that smelled a bit orangy.
It was not that difficult once I figured it out, though if there was a hiddne camera in my garage, you would be laughing your ass off at me.Quote:

If you do not put your feet inside the tire and just jump on top of the tire, the insert will pop all the way through.
I ordered some brass 45s and some metal valve stems, but they are threaded, which means I would have find a 9/16x18 tap and tap the hole. I think I might just put some new rubber ones in.
I plan on repainting the rock rings this weekend and gettting it all mounted up.
Does anyone have an extra locking hub for a 30 spline 60? I tried to warranty my Warns, but those hubs are on backorder until mid December.
On the steering, maybe a dumb question, but how can I manually advance the ram out, so that it is centered, so that I can figure out mounting with the tires straight.
what part of the hub do you need, or do you need the whole thing, i have lots of parts so let me know and we can work something out
as for the ram, you mount it with the tires turned full lock one way, which ever way the ram will be when not extended
My list:
mount 39.5"s
hydro assist
buy/install CB
refill the iPod
fill the cooler
pray F150 transmission makes it to Clayton.
I need the whole thingQuote:

I also forgot to mention that I scored a free practically new 39.5" TSL for a 16.5" rim in the trash tire bin at 4wpw. It has a small cut on one of the sidewalls, but does not come close to going all the way through. Perfect spare.

John, i live 5 mi from your place. if you need anyhelp. give me a call
Well the tires have held air since I put them all together so I am happy about that. The first time I took her for a spin, I took out the neighbors dachsund :( , so they already have one casualty. He was known for chasing cars on our street, so I guess it was his time, but a ****ty way to meet your new neighbors thats for sure. Nonetheless, I got to take my family out in it on the backroads out here on Thanksgiving and my Dad actually liked it, despite all his ****talking over the past 12 years about what a worthless pile/moneypit it is:D
Today I was able to get the new housing on the back of the pump as well as drill out the fittings to a larger size. It went from a 1/8" hole to 7/32". I also stretched the spring a little bit. There were no shims inside the piston, so I left it alone.
I got the new gear back on as well. Tomorrow I plan to find a decent location for the resevoir, and determine the cooler mounting. I think I am just going to mount it with some of those plastic 'go thru the radiator fins' type mounts. It woudl give me plenty of space to mount, and it would be outside the engine compartment for the most part. Problems with that?
A package of "o-rings" came with the kit, except they are not rounded on the edges. Like you took some rubber hose, and cut little pieces off of it. Where do these go in the system?
I used teflon tape for the fittings Clarke tapped for. Ok? Or do I need a different type of sealant on those threads?
I used the same type of mounting setup on my old trans cooler with no problems.
Teflon tape will work fine in this application. The square cut o-rings are for fittings that can rotate, I think. Probably on the back of the pump.

Sweet! Now you'll be tall enough to ford that creek in Clayton:flipoff2:

Probably dumb question, but does the yellow thing do anything or is that just how they come?
