Hmmm...I wouldn't necessarily call rings and bearings "freshening up".:(Quote:
It should be freshened up a little (rings & bearings)...

Sick fab. There's a fat bead in the first picture that isn't structural, we just wanted to make sure it stuck since I think that was the first attempt at welding plate to the cast diff. The silver lines (one on d-side plate, other is above outer p-side LCA mount tab) are the center lines of where the coils will need to mount. I did my best to mark/measure everything based on where it was on the stock D30 and got it all burned in.
What are you talking about? I didn't weld anything. I just stood there and drank a beer. This is your chicken to **** Brett. :)
No, it doesn't. I don't want my name documented anywhere on this project. :flipoff2:

this was interesting, even has the same middle name
Or cut all that crap off so you can put leaf perches on it!
It's been a little over a year since I posted anything here so I decided I should moved the Jeep around a little bit. Replaced the bent rear shackles and and some misc hardware so the rear axle is finally bolted under it again. Got the front control arms half-assed back where they should be, but it seems that some angles have changed drastically due to the size difference between a D60 and the D30 that angles and measurements were copied from.

I suppose a truer 4-link with no track bar is in the future. Lower link mounts should work, but I may be replacing the piece that is currently over the diff with one of THESE soon. Was doing some searching around on PBB today and I'm more confused than when I started. I saw a lot of different setups but it looks like the lower arms can stay where they are at the axle end but using a bracket like THIS at the frame would give triangulated uppers and negate the need for a track bar...? I was looking at THIS as an option for uppers only but the current lower control arms are 33" long and from what I was looking at/reading on PBB people are going a bit longer (~40") with lowers and uppers are either about the length of my current lowers or longer.
Couple more of the passenger side.

That 3-link kit is my next project after I finish the rear.
have it shipped here so I can copy the brackets and then I will ship it you
Ok. I'm not gonna order it until mid next month though.
I've decided on that 3-link kit. Just a matter of buying it now, which is hard to justify with wedding and honeymoon plans being made.
