my rims are 16x8, i bet they would work, just let me know if you want to use them

[colman]

I was thinking, how wide are your rims that you have now? I might want to try and 'borrow' them to get the set of claws. Do you have any rock rings for those rims? I may have a set of the aTm ones at the house for the H1's that could be turned down to fit I think.

i thought you said earlear that they only offered them in 20's, what tire sizes have they offered you

[bcolman]

you can get some 46's for a 16 inch rim

What Brian said. I forgot about the 16"s. I haven't heard from them yet, and starting to lean towards just keeping the boggers and running with what I know works. Besides, I can give a bogger grooving class while we are there.

List of ****...

Gears for 60 (they are trashed pretty good right now) and rear axle shafts for the 70 (The pattern is a 3.56" spread on the axle,) (Yukon is a sponsor of the event and I should be able to get them at a discount/free I hope) still waiting on info

New Flange for front of atlas (from high angle, this will make it easier to remove the shaft if needed)

Power Steering Pump (psc) on it's way w/ a 3"x9" ram (screw you kopecki!)

starter (get from napa for the warranty)

[bcolman]

why are you getting a new ram?

[bburris]

I have a discount with Randy's R&P but it's just enough to cover the shipping at this point. Wish it was more, but that's all I've been able to come up with...

[DRAGOONRANCH]

To 'slow' down the steering just a touch and give it a bit more leverage to push the tires around. At speed, the steering can be touchy. The body roll is partly to blame, but just the slightest touch on the steering wheel causes it to move pretty good.

Ok, thanks. I am still trying to get ahold of Yukon, but will get with you pretty quick if I can't find anything.

Thoughts on swaybar? Modify a factory one, or try and get an aftermarket to work?

I have asked about this before, but have never made time to do anything about it. Seems a factory would be 'easiest' as it would mount right in place and may just have to fab up some connecting bars. The old one has been swallowed up by the metal gnome we had living out at the ranch, so I would still need to source one.

[tigweld]

why do you need sway bars with a leaf setup? i dont think it is needed from what i have seen

[AggieTJ2007]

it has a good deal of body roll but I think that it is induced by the anti wrap bar more than anything else

[RCcola55]

mota is built, as soon as i get the right pan gaskets it will be going in!

[AggieTJ2007]

pictures dammit

[DRAGOONRANCH]

The headers are on their way I believe. I haven't recieved a tracking # yet though. This is the picture of what they sent me.



I think they ought not be much different than the ramhorns were space wise.
