Guess it could work if you had a limiter on each one to keep it from slipping out
alright no pics cause this is being built to fast. over the last couple days i got the oil pressure gauge working(old line was klogged up), installed water temp gauge. Karl has removed a ton of vacuum lines and swapped out the crappy stock jeep carb for big nasty's 2 barrel motorcraft. I figured out how long my wheelbase is and have started to make and tack on the rear spring hangers. I've got all the parts ready to rebuild the front axle, and the rear is close to being put together. If anyone in h-town is bored this weekend come on over and help, there will be beer involved.
big thanks to karl for doing the carb, it runs like a champ now.

Anyone want to start a pool on how long it takes for an engine fire to occur?
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
yeah, who tried to wheel moab w/ one?
In defense of the carb, it is a 2 barrel on a 360, it has zero hesitation. It is fed by an electric fuel pump. I have the accelerator pump putting the most it can to it. The acc. pump seems like a small feet, but I the linkage was boofed from a big nasty install.... I have reduced the engine from like 15 vacuum lines to 4 (brakes, choke pull off, reservoir, and tranny modulator). I made the choke actually work, something most of the rigs on TAMOR do not have working right.
To start when cold all you have to do is slowly depress the pedal and crank. When hot it cranks right up. Should be ok for decent angles....
Side note, this heep is equipped with Quadracrap... It has 2 vacuum lines going to the t-case. Apparently this t-case has a carrier to separate the front axle from the back. Then with a flick of a switch it locks the carrier???
My question is for a straight off road rig, what is wrong with me hooking the locking vacuum line to the engine full time. This way it is always in 4WD.
Thoughts?

Its a Quadratrac. It IS always in 4wd.
As long as its only driven offroad, I don't think locking it in emergency drive permanently will hurt it. Personally, I'd leave it with the factory setup using the in-glovebox switch, as the q-trac's diff is a picky mofo. Plus new parts for them don't exist.

who had their hood up half the trip? good thing the battery was charged
cracks me up. first you knock the carb and then it was awesome.
Yeah, sometime in this jeeps life that e-switch was removed???? It's really a miracle it ran, I mean there were loose vacuum lines everywhere....
If it has some gay carrier in the t-case it is not always in real 4WD. Like you said, leave it in e-mode and call it good. Axles will be an 8.8 and 44 w/ 4.56's so there will be less stress on the t-case (in theory)....

Yep, more or less.
Regular Mode: Part Time 4wd, functions a bit like a limited slip
E-Drive: 4WD High
E-Drive + Low Range Lever (if you have one): 4WD Low
Make sure y'all check the chain tension and make sure its using real q-trac fluid, you CANNOT use any old oil in a quadratrac. These two things are the reason its gotten such a bad rap over the years..
