In fact i think Fat Bastard has a locked super 35 for sale. If you dont want the hastle of the 8.8 or 44 swap, go super 35.

Spring 2002 - I decided to put a 6" lift, and mini spool and Winch

Spring 2003 - I put a new motor in.

Summer 2003 - I flipped the Steering rods to the top of the knuckles and also did a Shackle flip(brackets from sky manufacturing.)

Any dammage to the bronco? What are the specs on the new jack stands? Link?
And exactly how *could* you have been under it when it fell? you're telling me you'd get under a rig being supported only by a highlift?!!! 
The upper pin on my highlift didn't seat properly and as I was pulling down the handle came sideways and whacked me in the head. I've got it on video. 
I just got back from a funeral that I was video taping. Some 95 year old lady commented about a 15 year usher boy saying something about being 80 years too old but still enjoying the view. Strange, especially for an old church lady.

I doubt you would get full power at 1600RPM unless you have a 3-3.5:1 pulley system.
And don't go on ebay and look at the ebay alternators that magically put out 200A+. I showed phill a stock alternator that I rewired from 60A to 97A (what a lot of the ebay guys do). Then I showed him a 145A semi truck alternator. The winding wires were 2x the size, and just by looking inside you could tell everything is of better quality.

300A, just to let you know, would scare me to death comming out of a little alternator..if it were possible to sustain. I have an Electrodyne that produces 250A @ 12v. It weighs about 50lbs and is about 8 inches in diameter.

Normal driving, I don't have a problem. Plenty of cranking power when it's cold.

After that, my check guage light comes on and it will read 9 volts in the system until I shut the Jeep off and restart it. At that point, back to 14 volts... like nothing happened, only as soon as I start winching again, it eventually goes back down to 9 again.

I load tested the battery and that checked out fine.

Those amperages sounded almost like field current values, except in the wrong order.

Run it down the frame to the UCA. wrap the entire line with Rubberized 3m Tape (that really thick shit)this will provide good chafe resistance.

I'm expecting at least another 100k out of her before she goes.
Just for kicks, the factory Toyota 1HD-FT turbo diesel puts out 168 hp and 280 ft-lbs of torque. Guys in Oz say you can turn the fuel pump up and get around 200 ponies w/ an intercooler. Even more with LPG injection. Granted a SBC would probably be cheaper though.
For now, lockers will do me more good. I'm kind of partial to diesels though.\n\n

| Well it's a 92 bronco with a 302 fuel injected. I can get a carberated motor cheeper than I can fix my damn efi. I took it into the shop the other day they told me the parts I would need to replace and they were going to run me close to $1200.00 |
First, get a second opinion. That sounds way too expensive.
Second, replace an entire engine because you have a fuel system problem? That is stupid. Why would you want to pull the whole engine just to fix a sensor problem? Sounds like too much work to me.
Third, a carburetor will run good at one temp, maybe not as good at another. Altitude effects how it runs as well. Computer controlled fuel injection will compensate for all conditions. 4000 ft of elevation, no problem. -5* outside? No problem. 92 Ford 5.0L engines are MPI. This mean each cylinder has its own injector, very even fuel distribution, something a 2 or 4 barrel carb cannot match, ever.
Fourth, legality? I am unsure if you live in Michigan still. I also do not know the emissions laws of that state. In Alaska, installing an older motor into a newer car/truck is not a legal swap. True you can get a waiver from the city, but that doesn't make it legal.
Basically, what you are asking to do is a step backwards. Odds are, the hidden costs of the swap would eat up the $700 you are "saving". Mechanical fuel pump, exhaust manifolds, exhaust work, wiring modification, distributor changes, accessory problems (power steering, alternator and waterpump mounting may not all be the same as the fuelie motor).

Your right I don't know very much about Toy's.

If you built it the way you described, then it would form a triangle. This would not work. When you try to turn the wheels, the tie-rod will "move closer" to the ram. This will completely destroy the rod. In order to have a double ended ram function properly, it requires 2 joints per side. This allows the tie-rod to travel away and close to the ram itself. Think rack and pinion on cars...Full Hydro removes the stock tie-rod and adds two shorter tie-rods extending from either end of the "double-ended" ram (see the thread you linked). This is necessary since the tie rod (stock one) moves in an arc with the knuckles. Basically, when you turn your wheels all the way in one direction, the tie-rod is now closer to the axle assembly. Hard mounting the ram and adding 2 attatchment points would cause something to fail.
The Pirate thing: Yes there is good tech on there. The shear number of posters and threads dictate that some important and useful information will be on there.

Because it's balanced. Equal force turning both directions. So, steering that isn't using a "balanced/double-ended" ram will be faster in one direction vice the other. Most people complain of faster steering in one direction.

Also, how would you connect a "double-ended" ram to his current steering set up without going full hydro?

By using welding two brackets to the tie rod instead of one. Then welding the ram to the axle housing.

I run the Q78. I didn't get to put a whole lot of road miles on them before I rolled my junk, but the miles I did put on them were fine.
They dig really fast so if you looking for a floatation tire this is not it. They have some seriously deep lugs though. They measure in at 35.5x11. Put that nest to ta 36.12.5 TSL and the width is the only way to tell the difference.
Personally I like the looks and reports coming in from the Irok owners. Decent onroad ride. Good performance in almost every condition (including the midwest mud running guys). They have scooped lugs like a Bogger so they should do as good if not better than a TSL in the mud.
They have a much better center section than the bogger. Seems the manufacturing process is much better as well.
But the bogger is king of the mud still. Personally I don't see any need for a bogger. So my choice would be IROK.', 1, 0, 149, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL),

Well, I have finally figures out what links will be made, and put under the Jeep. It was a hard figure out. Every time I would come up with something, I would go outside with my PVC link arms and they would either hit the D-shaft, our motor. Heres the plan. I will be running a upper, and a lower on the passenger side. They will not be connected together. They will both be seperate links. And then on the driver side, there will just be a lower. And of course a trac bar. TPIJeep off of the POR board is helping me out a ton. I have known him for a couple of years know. He set up the same thing under his CJ-7. And says that there is no bind. And they can flex his 16" travel coil overs out. Of course, I will be running bump stops, along with 3 limiting straps. For the links I will be using DOM Tubing 2" with a 1/4" wall, along with 1 1/4" hiems on all the ends. I figure this will work the best for the Jeep. And I just thought I would put a little update up :) Here is a picture of my passenger side mount, along with the trac bar connected.

First the flatter the links the harder the nose is gonna "dive" under hard onroad and offroad braking.

| Frank, do not put bushings on your tie in bar. The bottom of the hoops appear to be welded to the frame, so if you put a flexable member on the tie bar, the joints at the bottom of the frame will eventually fatigue and fail. Most likely the weld will be fine, but it will tear loose from the parent metal. If you want to use a bushing, use an aluminum one. If your not partial to a bushing, just make some 3 bolt flanges... |

I bet it would make more difference than on say a WB of 120+ like brooks. Infact Brook has run both the Linked and sprung versions on the Freak So What is it Brook? Did it make a huge difference or little difference?

I was gonna say its a night and day difference, but thats not enough.... Its a night in the winter, and day in the summer difference at the very least, and thats without having had time to play with spring rates, and valving! Just ask speedo how much different the ride is between our two rigs.
His was built for a different purpose, but he has basically the same suspension I did, before I went to links front and rear.
I bet that if frank is even close on the spring rates and valving, he will notice a bigger difference than I have, because of his short wheel base.

The stick on oil heaters are good. But they don't do much for the tight clearances in the motor, the pasty oil in the bearings, the frost on the cylinder walls (really it happens) and the reduced battery output.
The best thing to get the motor itself warm is a freeze plug heater, You can pop one in your 2F in no time. Avoid the external tank type heaters if you can, they loose a lot of their heat to convectiion and radiation before it even gets into your motor. Plus they can be awkward to install on the 2F.
If you have a header however, a tank heater can be a great addition. Install a "preheater plate" on the botom of your intake. These are designe to run fluid from the cooling system to the bottom of the intake to replace the heat that the exhaust originally supplied. Makes a big difference in warm up time and operating characteristics on that straight six engine. You really want one if you have a header. Then you can install a tank heater, plumbing it so that the heated fluid is fed through this preheater plate first, before it enters the engine block. You can plug the heater in and after about 20 minutes at 25 below your intake and carb will be warm to the touch. It will start like it is a summer day.
A battery heater will do more for you than the oil pan heater when it comes time to start on a cold morning. That is a large part of the reason that everyone has trouble startign in extreme cold. The chemical reaction of the battery just grinds to halt. No reaction, no current, no crank. |

the problem with too low is you only have one gear backwards. Brook's double is a good idea - you get a low thru low with the option of just using one low range for wheelsping.
I am getting around with stock gears by using a motor with 3 or 4 times the low rpm torque - sometimes I could use a bit lower, but mostly not. So if you have a good torque engine, you don't usually need the low low gears. Usually, that is. Sometimes it would be nice to have. |
What motor are you running?
I agree, a doubler would be ideal. Recently I have 3 options for doulbers, plus lower gears for my cruiser, which is a plus.
My biggest problem right now is my axle gearing. I'm having to slip the clutch quite a bit offroad w/ 3.73 gears.', 1, 0, 153, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL),

1.9 liter, not sold in the U.S. with a turbo - has about 70-75 horse stock, with about 135 ftlbs of torque,starting with about 100 ftls down as low as the turbo spools up, say 1750 rpm.

A 1.9 DI turbo ( the new diesel VW puts in the Bug) starts at 90 horse, and 150 ftlbs@1500rpm (it has a variable vane turbo) - the install is much more complex, as the engine is electronically controlled, like a modern gas motor.

I've got about 200 miles on the new gears and they are better, though they still howl - mainly at 25-40mph. After that it quiets down.
With the old set, slow speeds it was pretty quiet, LOUD at around 50mph and noisy on the highway.
Hmm, Genuine Gear just a China ripoff??
I figure as long as I know that it's not something that's wearing out I can deal with a little noise.
The pitting on the spider gears on the ARB was disapointing. A $700 locker that is already falling apart with 4500 miles on it?
What does annoy the fawk out of me though is I still have a vibe at 65mph. The new gears didn't change that.

If youre saving pennies, get a winch first.
Next i would regear to coincide with the size tires you have.
Lastly that lmited slip you have is a joke. regear and detroit it.

I was thinking about the lock-right.... no slip locker.....
As for the winch I was planning on saving some cash and when I go down to california in march (hopefully) I was going to get a warn m8000 winch and a locker... but I don't make a ton of money so for now I was only gonna be able to get one locker. I know the LS in the rear is a joke but it's better than nothing. I was just figuring that if for now I was only going to be able to buy one locker, I thought I'd just get one for the front for now so that I had a locker up front and LS in the rear. Then after that when money can afford it I'd replace the LS with a real locker when I can. As for experience I've been going out every chance I can get. I kinda surprised though that nobody's planned any runs lately with this nice weather we've been getting. Currently I'm running 31's. I plan on going up to 33's in the future and when I do so regear to 4.10's or something.
So what do you think frosty.... get the front locked for now and have the locker and LS for now.... or replace the rear first. I've found a winch for 495 with free shipping just not to here.

When it does cycle (when not attributable to turning the unit on and off of course), it is because it has sprung a leak. If yours won't hold air, it is obviously leaking. If it is leaking from the air lines or from the solenoid, repair the line or clean the solenoid. If leaking from the locker inside the housing, you need to decide how much it is worth to you to have this repaired. If the fittings are loose, this is easy. If the annular ring is leaking down, that could be pricey. I have known knowledgeable offroaders with ARB to tolerate leak-related cycling as long as it is not often enough to piss you off because it is just an air leak, not a device failure. As long as the system maintains the 90 or so pounds of pressure needed to lock the diff, it is working. Excess cycling is noisy and will get to be tiring on a long trail, and is hard on the pump, which is not a 100% duty cycle quality unit, and will wear out faster if you let it cycle all day.
On the other hand, if you turn on the ARB pump without locking the axles (leaving the system charged but disengaged)you are probably wasting the effort, and if you lock the ARB at the trailhead and leave it on all day, you are probably not using the locker to its full potential. I turn mine off and leave it off unless and until it is actually needed, then turn it off again as soon as it is no longer needed. This saves wear and tear on the unit and allows the vehicle to steer a lot better. Also saves you from sliding into the downhill side of offcamber slick stuff, etc.
So, if you only use it when needed, and such uses up here rarely require 9 minutes of continuous use, I would not panic just because the system has a slow leak. Find it if you can and don't worry about it if you can't.\n\n

As for only using a locker when necessary, yes and no. It is an advantage having a selectable locker, but mainly in the sense that it's street-friendly. My theory used to be take everything in 2wd, 4wd is your reserve. I have slid off the trail, or gotten stuck too many times, and now I leave it in 4wd, and use lo as a reserve.(4.10s and 33s).
Also, excessive wheelspin caused by not using all available traction-aiding devices isn't treading lightly, just a friendly reminder.

If you are not using a storage tank, consider your volume is tiny, any loss of air in such a tiny volume will cause enough of a pressure loss to cause the comp to kick on. A tank will mask a small leak since the larger volume will lose pressure at a much slower rate with that same small leak. No doubt there is a leak, but it's a very small one. Use water with a little dish soap like ZJ said to "snoop" out your leak. If it's worse when driving, I'd say vibration is irritating the leak site--like a fitting or coupling where the tube is simply pushed into the fitting.

badass,
might i recommend building the hell out of a 4.3? i think you can get the partial crate motors with just the pistons (and rods and seals and so on) and the crank installed into the block, then you can supercharge it and do some other internals like a cam, billet roller rockers, aluminum head and intake, carb or multiport FI, etc. plus some fuel and ignition upgrades.

It is the same as AWD setups, exactly the same. AWD only pertains to the transfer of power between front and rear, not the front axle. Some Jeeps have AWD and solid front axles.

Umm, no. Most trucks with IFS have an offset front axle, so one side of the housing is longer than the other. Pesky little thing called an engine gets in the way of a straight on shot at the diff.

GM IFS is as independent as it gets without being a 2WD. GM basically uses a modified 1/2, 3/4, or 1-ton solid axle center section (an axle without the axle tubes) and then puts constant velocity axles coming from there out to the hubs. the problem with just ditching the suspension and puting axle tubes on, as you advised doing, is that the IFS center section won't receive axle tubes, it must be positioned so that the pinion is on the correct side, and it is most likely too weak to be used in such a way. i'm sure there are multiple other problems as well.
Tacomas have a similar setup, but the side of the diff the power goes through is elongated because the front output of the transfer case isn't centered, obviously.
you have to completely remove the IFS and everything attached to it, so the frame from the cab forward/down is bare. then you weld on the suspension and steering stuff and mount a real solid axle.\n\n

1) just take your front bumper off
2) cut off any crumple zones or what not so that you have a straight line across the frame rails
3) weld on a square tubing crossmember
4) weld on your front spring hangers
5) measure the correct placement for the rear spring hanger based on the truck the leaf springs are designed for (54" GM soild axle?) and weld it on
6) locate your shock mounts and weld those on (possibly a shock hoop for more up travel)
7) mount your leaf springs
8) install your axle with your NEW u-bolts and nuts and what not else
9) take your fabbed or bought IFS steering box mount (Saginaw for this application) and weld it on
10) bolt up your IFS steering box
11) mount all your steering parts
12) torque all the bolts and do the finishing touches: brake lines, brake bleeding, etc.

The first guage on the regulator shows the pressure in the bottle, the other shows the outlet pressure. I assume that's how it works.
Vapor pressure of any liquid will be dependent on temperature. Raise the temperature of the bottle, and the pressure inside will increase. I'll confirm that tonight, but once I get the plumbing finished up and move the bottle out of the fridge, the pressure in the bottle should increase some. Or were you just saying the outlet pressure shouldn't change at all?
Unfortunately no back-up plan. I have a hand pump for a regular macro-brew style bung, but my kegarator set-up is only capable of running 5 gallon soda kegs at this time. (no, I am not serving soda, places like Sleeping Lady Brewery will fill soda kegs with beer) I don't know of any manual back-up pumps for that sort of configuration. Unfortunately I've never run the CO2 empty since I made the kegarator, so I don't have a basis of how many kegs it will run.

Sounds right. At a given temp, the vaporized co2 will fill the headspace in the bottle to a certain pressure. This pressure will remain constant at a given temp until there is no more liquid to vaporize.

I may not have a 'real keg', but I get my kegs filled with real beer, Mr. Bud Light. Ask FB, the stuff I usually keep on tap you can feel after a couple pints.
I wonder if we should have any cheerleader beer on hand, not sure if many fem's are going to be there.
As far as the CO2, yeah I'll just swap the bottle out Saturday to be sure I'm good to go. Shoot, it'll only cost $13, I shouldn't have thought about it so much.

The test connector for an '85 will be a yellow plug that's in a rubber socket on the driver's side fender in the engine compartment. It's the one with only two connections. Jumper those two connections and turn the key to the ON/ACC position and count the blinks of the check engine light to get any codes stored. This will usually give you a clue to what's causing problems.
Also check your intake tube from the AFM to the throttle body for cracks or leaks.

An '82 isn't a Quadratrac; I think '79 was the last year for those. The commonly accepted term for "Quadratrac" is the Borg-Warner model 1339, but the label "Quadratrac" has been used by Jeep over the years for a number of different transfercases. The NP 229 was never called a Quadratrac while in an FSJ, but I belive Chrysler used a later version of the 229 and called it a Quadratrac in some ZJs. The FSJ NP 229 isn't all that bad of a transfercase as long as you don't do something stupid with it, like drive in four-high without a front driveshaft. I was very happy with the 229 in my '89 Grand Wag.

They make them in the same size I am considering, 36x13.50R15, and they are about $50 more per tire.
I wonder if the conformability of the tread would be as great as Four Wheeler has claimed on the 3-stage bias ply model.
The wear should be better, and the load rating is lesser so maybe they will ride better under my lighter-than-a-fullsize truck.
I am looking at about $1000 and change for the radials, versus around $800 and change for the bias ply model.
I am also concerned about the actual diameters, seeing how a 35" Baja Claw or BFG is close to 35" or is actually shorter, while the 36" Irok is over 36" and sometimes close to 37".
I suppose I could always design my shackles for more lift to thus clear the larger tire, and then drop them down when I relocate to Utah.

Old mans Ramcharger with a 440 has the same problem. Do this.
Buy some thermotec Headerwrap and wrap that header. Get the Starter wrap as well (a big fiberglass bag actually). Install it all and enjoy. I bet it clears up the problem
Starters and hot motors just don't mix. Couple that with a small engine compartment and your gonna get slow cranking.

Dual cases would help the driveline angle, but not as cheaply or effectively as rotating the knuckles perches to point that pinion at the tcase. but I see you already had that done. I'm not really how far is too far when pinion bearing lubrication becomes an issue. Also consider less lift will improve that angle too. What's you caster at right now, anyway?
