I don't really want to use heims. I'd rather not innovate tie rod ends, I'm looking at the evo tre's. They look pretty beef at have plenty of movement. Only thing is $$$ for a reamer.

All will be covered by the skid plate in the front bumper. It has to be complicated to get rid of bumpsteer and toe in. Shouldn't cost too much on top of the tube I bought, just another stock pitman...
Back to steering, Travis got me some 1.5" .25 wall DOM for steering. I want to do something real similar to the YJ and Corey 2011 KOH buggy steering setup. It uses 2 idler arms with a relay rod...
The ttb arm changes 21 degrees at 16" of wheel travel so the ballistic joint with 34 degrees of movement will work fine. Question is, if I go with 1.75" .25 wall tube that limits me to 1" threaded...
No, your shop floor was dirty, after I swept I had no problem
Or the person bending it for that matter.
The plan is for 2" .25 wall dom, but would 1.75" .25 wall be good enough? It would be about 11 pounds lighter, cost less and dowling already has a 1.75" die for the bender.

Haven't decided if I want to plate the sides or run a few vertical tubes between them.

The speed density only works well if you stay below a certain volumetric efficiency. If I want a better cam or maybe some heads, the SD computer won't work right, where as a mass air will adapt to...
The mass air went to sequential from what I could tell from reading about it
I've been looking into converting to mass air on my 5.8 when I swap it in. My main hang up is the E4OD. Conversion kits are $$$, so I wanted to use stock parts from a bronco with a 5.0 and E4OD. Does...
The guy wants too much for everything else, didn't seem worth it for a wrecked carcass
That's the one.
I found a '96 5.8/e4od/bw1356 for my truck that'll be going in very soon. Easy fix to a sluggish motor and a transmission that doesn't shift. Everything works well and is out of a wrecked truck.
I emailed Baja Racing of Texas about using 1.75" .120 wall but Extreme Desert Racing just says you need a 6 point cage with no requirements on what tube size or type you use. I'm looking at class 8...
Well, there's a reason sam, Travis, and I are going to the EDR 200 later this year and also a reason why I'm keeping ttb and half ton rear axle.
MATERIAL
Rollcage construction material may be crew, Dom, whr, wcr mild carbon steel or 4130 chromoly.
This is what I can use, and anything over 4k pounds has to use 2" .120 wall tubing
I meant 2" .120 wall. I can't skimp on that on size. My truck is heavy enough to need it per rules I'm following.
I'll fix it. I need to see if oliver brothers will help me figure out what's...
Not sure why the link is dead, but when the transmission tries to shift from 1-2, it locks up. I'm still trying to find where I found someone who had the same issue. If I can't get it fixed cheap...
Got frame flex?

this is what my transmission does when it tries to shift from 1-2. It doesn't slip when in reverse or first so I'm thinking it's got something...
I just googled it some said it was 97 only but I saw some earlier ones
And I know my brothers '94 is definitely a mass air
the 5.0/5.8 got mass air starting in 94, my brother has a mass air '94 and my '93 is speed density. The 7.5 didn't get it until a year or two later and not every truck was mass air from then on. I...
