Be carfull on what you put in there for oil. I don't know the years, the older ax-5/15 does NOT like gl-5. Only gl-3.
Youngs can sell you a re-build kit. Mine (ax-5) was only about $140. Had evrything I needed to make the shirfter shift and the noise be gone. To have a shop do it for you, was about $500 + parts if you pull the box and brought in it. It sounds just like mine before the syncros went completly out.

Go with the Terra. They've been proven time and again down there, why do you think they sell so many of them?
Just get a rebuild kit through them while you're at it, something like $125 or so. You'll kick yourself if you don't.

i built one once from the back half of a sami. i notched both sides of the frame towards the front so i could bend it in together close enough to put a 2x2 thck wall tube. i welded the tube to the two frame sides and to the cross member to use as a tongue. i used the stock axle tube and then went to trailer craft for some spindles and hub. the hub i got matched the bolt patten for my jeep. then i made a plywood box to sit on top of the frame using the original body mounts as mounting points for the box.
some things that went wrong. i originally didn't use the 2x2 tube for the tongue, i had just bent the two frame sides together and used the triangle type that trailer craft sales. the 2x2 tube came later after the original way started coming apart. also they make a lock and roll type hitch ( i can't remember the manufacturer, but i'm sure you'll be able to find it).. it locks for flat towing, but can be unlocked allowing for 360 degree rotation and up and down for off road travel. i would use this type of hitch instead of pintle and hook just for the versitality in switching between vehicles.

good news to hear you are getting money in from what happened to your poor truck!
As to the ball joint D60, what year/truck/make etc. If it is a Dodge D60 with the same type of gay hub a$$emblies, then I might stay away from it. However, if it is a Ford hi-pinion D60 (all ford D60 are HP), then even though it is balljointed, it could work.
The problems with mine were that the coil buckets are so big and they are close to the knuckle on our axles. Well, the kingpins are huge no matter what axle you get. This meant that in order for the knuckles to turn, each coil bucket had to be moved in 3/4" on EACH side. The meant I HAD to use a DT trac bar to make up for the 3/4" on the pass. side.
As to the drivers side, doom was what happened. The SkyJ trac bar drop bracket made direct contact with the coil bucket. In other words, I had no suspension...the frame rested on the axle via that one bracket. Thank goodness for the DT drop bracket. It is moved forward a bit. HOWEVER, it still made contact at even the slightest bump on the road. So I had to grind off the entire front of the coil bucket/sway bar mount in order for it to clear.
Beast and BigGreenMonster have learned from mine in that they have reworked it a little bit so as not to have to move the bucket in quite so far. You can move them in less than the 3/4"....my fabricator was being conservative. You can move them in about 1/2" and shave a bit off the coil bucket's side so the kingpin doesn't hit as it turns. Also, you can shave a little bit off of the kingpin cap to help some as well.
As you can see, I had to chop the front bracket/coil bucket up for it to work. Nothing major, but it depends on how hardcore you wanna go.
I imagine the ball joint version of the hi-pinion axle won't have these types of issues.
Also, ask BGM what he did to improve over mine so that he didn't have quite the clearance issues.
|
i thought the 60 was a balljoint style when i PM'ed him a question.
From what i gather the coil buckets had to be moved in and an adjustable trac bar had to be used to deal with the move. Also that the coil bucket will still hit stuff. Right now im waiting for some one else to PM me back as to what they did differently. Any ideas?', 1, 0, 2944, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL),

I am new to your forum and to jeeps. I have a 2000 SE Wrangler with 2.5, 5 speed and 4:10 gears. I am planning on a 2" BB and 31" tires. I just picked up a set of new in the box RE Sway bar disconnects. The center tubes are 8 inches. My question is with the 2"BB what length center tube would I need. The discos were $20 for the entire set and were never installed so I figured I would get them and order the correct length center tubes. Additionally, are longer brake lines required if you run the disconnects?
Thanks
Mike\n\n

Anyhow, a new piece to the puzzle...
I did an alignment by eye as I have done several times on several rigs. Toe is set to 1/4" and by my end and a buddy's it looks like the tires are straight. Only I drive it and to go straight, steering is to the left about 1/8 turn... the exact same before I realigned it
No biggie, I'll just adjust it.
But then, I turn the front locker on and it pulls to the right. Not super bad, but not mild enough to be normal.
Rear locker on, goes straight. Am I correct to think that the pass side of the front axle is back more than the driver's? I'm gonna adjust the castor again and see what the does.\n\n

I'm gonna measure the front against the rear to check to see for straightness. I don't think the front can be off if the cam adjusters are in the same place. Maybe I threaded the links on one side in the rear a couple too many turns.

The purpose for rubber or polyurethane mounts is to allow the tub and frame to move somewhat independantly. The frame is construsted to move "x" amont, the tub will flex "y" amount. The 2 are not equal, therefore you need something to take up the movement. Flex out a hard mounted tub and odds are a bolt will break or a body mount will be torn from its mount. Go with a poly kit, this fill firm up the mounts quite a bit. Dayco also makes a kit that adds 1" in a body mount. Regular looking bushing, just taller. |

That is the wrap bar in question. It will stop wrap but it most likely is not going to last long.
Why you ask: Well the two bushings on the top of the axle are loaded wrong. They should be rotated 90 degree's to pu the rotational forces of the wrap it is trying to stop in a double shear and in corrected orientation with the bushing.
The bushing will eat itself alive like that. I know that they did that to "improve" flex but if you know anything about suspensions and poly bushings you will realize quickly that the center part of the diff does not articulate nearly enough to compramise the integrity of a poly bushing.
Think about this. How much driving do you see with max articulation in the axles, compared to the amount of time the wrap bar is called upon to control the wrap of the axle? If your sensible you will see that controlling wrap happens a shitload more often than needing that extra 1/4 of a inch articulation (that they probably didn't gain anyway with that setup).

No. Not those Mavericks. The new UK Maverick is basically an Escape. Read the posts.
Welliewearer: 90% chance of bad gas. Diesels are just like that, with those symptoms, when they run bad diesel fuel.
How to fix it: If it runs, replace the fuel filter a few times until it runs clean. Add an additive made for diesel; you can probably get it at Checker/Schucks/Kragen or whatever you have in UK.
If it doesn't run: Clean the injectors, and do whatever it takes to get the water out of the engine.

I would have to say that it is primarily a problem with attitude on the part of a few officers. While there are definiely rigs on the roads that need to be pulled over and impounded as unsafe (I'm thinking of a couple in aprticular that i have seen out here in the Valley that definitely DO NOT belong to any informed enthusist), you have a few cops pulling over every lifted truck, lowered Honda or loud muscle car that they see, while they ignore the fact that there're mini-vans out there with cracked windshiled too, boring passenger cars with broken tail lights and a whole heck of a lot of stone stock trucks whose rear fenders are over 18 inches off the ground and don't have mudflaps.
If the state was serious about the problems of broken windshields then they would require dump trucks to cover their loads and they would sift out more of the rocks that they dump on the roads every winter mixed in with the "sand" tha they spread.
I agree, it would be nice if the cops spent their time responding to calls, about break ins, calls about observed drunk drivers, calls about assaults in progress.

I laugh when people think that 28 inches overnight was alot of snow and that -30 is cold.

| And to you mr. your kidding..You can straight go to hell. Anyone that states "Oh yeah, I forgot. We are the filthy rich guys who got that way by screwing over all the poor innocent angels like you who only want something for nothing. Get real." is a person that I have no respect for. You know what. I am the person who makes sure you have the right to feal that way. We as the millitary make sure you can go to bed at night fealing that way. But I still think your a bag of shit. You make me sick that your proud of screwing poor guys to get rich. I am sure you have never saacrificed anything for anyone or anything. I am sure you have never dropped everything to get on a plane to go to a unknown place to work your ass off, I have more times than I can remember. You will never understand my point I guess. For that I feal sorry for you and pitty you. You keep screwing people because someday it will catch up with you and I really hope I can witness it. Because I will laugh in your face. Your nothing to me, your someone who could never be trusted or relied upon. I for one will never help or associate my self with you. So keep thinking the way you do. But if you have a problem with me Give me a call. I will gladly work things out with you....My name is Dan and my number is 561-2020. I will gladly meet you anywhere anytime to discuss this. I love meeting guys like you. I bet you where the kid in school that took lunch money huh. So give me a call. I get home after 1600. Your one of the reasons that america is the way it is. Screw everyone that you can for a doller. Your pathetic. |
It looks like I owe Country boy a bit of an opology. I overestimated you ability to understand a written statement, and read between the lines. I guess I have to make it simple for you. The guys running the small shops are as much the "common man" as you are. More actually, 'cause we've been out there pulling our weight and serving our customers for a lot longer than you have been contributing anything to society.
You're in the military so that makes you someone I should thank for keeping me safe? If you're 22 and sitting here in Anchorage at the moment, it is doubtful that you have ever seen a combat zone. And if you can't remember how many times you have "dropped everything to get on a plane to go to a unknown place to work your ass off", then you must have an awful short memory. Or maybe you enlisted at age 10 and have been deploying for over a decade? Then again, maybe not. I was serving this country in places you've probably never even heard of before you were even born, and guess what. I don't feel any need to thank you for the fact that they happened to let you too. I served with some stand up guys. But now as then, there are assholes in the Army just like on the outside.
Bt that's okay. Anyone who disagrees with you is a commie and a bag of shit, and spends their time screwing the common man, and you're gonna set us all straight.

I have found the solution! A half cab! After veiwing Gregs over and over again, I decided to build one of my own. I am not down yet. I still have aluminum to put in around the side of the doors, and top of the doors. Just like Gregs on his 7. He said he has been in 0 degree weather, and it held heat fine.
For the doors, I went through Rock Gear. And let me tell you, I wish I would have known about these guys earlier! These doors are the best CJ full soft doors I have ever seen. They are made out of a marine grade fabric (sp) They wiegh 15lbs a piece! Double layered also. And the top windshield part comes off, and the metal frame comes apart and folds up. They came with a bag made out of the same material to put the upper windshield in on hot days. And it take up no room what so ever when in the bag. The mounting latches are made of 1/4 steel. Very nice products. They also make full tops. Here are some pictures. Like I said it is not done. Still needs the aluminum. Which I will do when I get the garage. Enjoy...

3. Now I think you'r making stuff up. Proven dangerous? By who? Cite some instances proving they're unsafe. Seems the trucks running baja and the guys on the dragstrip and the new flood of rockcrawlers aren't having too many issues.

So you can run tires pressures below 8-10 psi without breaking a bead?!? Lower pressure equals bigger footprint/contact patch which give you more traction/flotation.

There is a delay in the secondarys on a 4bbl opening yes. Because you have to have the throttle open a certain amount before the primaries open up.

As for front springs, they are 52" long 4" lift Rancho rear fullsize Chevy truck springs. They have a very nice anti-wrap leaf built in. They make them in two spring rates and I got the stiffer ones at 279 pds. per inch. The lighter ones are 237 pds. per inch. With most lifted XJ coils being in the 210 to 240 pds. inch range, I figured with the added weight of a V-8 and cast iron trans/t-case combo the extra rate would help. I considered the 44044 leaves as others have used them, but they are shorter in length and have a stiffer rate at 300 pds. inch. I may run the softer versions in the rear. The stock rear XJ leaves were rated at like 145 pds I was told.
As for lift, who knows or cares. I'm not into the how high can you go game. (Although it APPEARS that way right now.) Some day I'll measure the stock XJ and then compare it to the XX.

If you went Caddy power you could acheive those HP and TQ numers and still be quite driveable on the trail.
With that kind of HP and TQ, and those tires, even a dana 60 is marginal at best. You will have to lower the power, lower the tire size, or increase the axle size. |

Dude that was a great reply. Now a reply to the reply
Your right about the housing deflection it is not a issue here.
Your right about the schools of thought on the unsprung weight. I am of the school that a little extra down low is a good thing. Some like it light, I like it thick.
Rock Web wheelers- that is what we are BJ, even our beloved Silver Mountians are not like the rocks Piff Daddy is running.

Grand-national cro-mo hubs. $650
Set it up for diskbrakes of choice, mine being chevy rears due to easy come by parts. $20 fpr the brakets, then cost of brakes.
weld on a pre-runner style truss. $150
The only weak link will be the low pinion, and with some simple small tube work, an easyly fabed skid can be made for that on a nine.
That is, if I had the money. Stronger than a 35sp d-60. Stronger r&p in this app. (while a d-60 ring is bigger around, the nine is way thicker.) and will be turning the right way. Plus it would be lighter than a d-60. I still think that it's good to keep the weight down, evean unsprung weight.
and nope, don't wheel with swaybars. Keep them on for winter driving, but thats about it.

Way to much.
Did you break your D44? Personally I would get my shit up and running and then mess with that swap stuff. IMO your just making more work for yourself right now. |
I guess my reasoning was that since the axels currently under my truck need new bearing and other various parts i could take the money i have for that and put that into swaping, regearing and locking axels. I had already purchased a 14 bolt about 6 months ago and was slowly rebuilding it and swaping on disk brakes. The 14b also is alot cheaper to gear and lock that the chrysler 9.25 rear axel, which i have been running with the an open diff with 3.55 gears.
To match the rear i guess i have 3 options, Keep the 44 (5x5.5 bolt patern), go with a ram 2500 dana 60 which a strait swap except steering and the drive shaft,which is $1500 from hill top or go with the ford 60, (both 60s 8 hole bolt pattern to match the 14 bolt) The ford 60 has manual hubs while the dodge 44 and 60 have CAD and the hub/bearing things which i would like to get away from and still be cheaper than a dodge 60. there was some other stuff but i cant think of it now.', 1, 0, 2944, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL),

Also the RA's off the 77 EB are really long compared to the TTB stock RA's. I just looked at a set and they were almost as long as my extended arms.\n\n

It has done this for 10-15 min before it will die, at witch point it will start right back up run fine for a few seconds then begin with this crap all over.

This all started when I did my YJ tub swap and fuel tank last November.
I have replaced the fuel pump twice and rule that out; I have also when this was all going on swapped out the IAC, MAP, CPS, TPS, and the regulator that is on the metering rail.

Probably the most common 80's GM transmission. BUT, it has to be the 60 degree V6 bolt pattern on the bellhousing. 2.8, 3.1, and 3.4.

For the intake to the compressor I used an inline tool oiler from AIH. This I mated to some 1/4" fitting that was a close enough insert into the existing intake hose, and hose clamped down. I got a cheap valve cover breather filter from Schucks (in "performance parts/chrome" aisle) that with a similar fitting clamped onto the oiler intake. All this stuff is just suction, so exact fitting isn't important.
The output from the compressor is high pressure and high temperature, so it is important to get a good fit of components here. I used 3/8" soft copper tubing to a barb coupler fitting which i inserted into the hose and clamped down. Frosty initially used "high temp" air hose, but this couldnt' take the heat and kept bursting. So anything you put under the hood must be pretty tough, not just from the environment but primarily from the hot gas coming from the compressor.
I ran my copper tubing under the jeep, through a 90 degree fitting into my rear footwell and plumbed it up to my storage tank. First though, it goes through a oil/water seperator, then a check valve, then into the manifold provided by the pressure switch. You don't have to run it directly into the pressure switch, but I did because it provided a convenient manifold. At this point, Air is in the tank at high pressure, all your other fittings, switches, and regulators can be plumbed anywhere that has a direct connection to that tank, either inline or on seperate fittings or manifolds.
The pressure switch i used is a Square D 9013FHG-14J52M1X grainger stock 5A020, $29. This is an air compressor switch set to close the switch at 95 and open it at 125 psi. It also has an unloader valve, which you can run with small copper line to the check valve, this will dump the pressure in the compressor line, which makes it easier for the compressor to start up. I have see many OBA installs not do this, and considering you have a 200hp motor driving it, it's probably justified. If you don't do the unloader, then you can run an electric pressure switch, which is smaller, I think scott does this.
I have a good regulator that outputs to my ARB solinoid, as you don't have an air locker, you probably don't even need a regulator, as 90-125 is probably safe for most air tools you'd be running.
For safty's sake, you also need a safety valve that will pop at 125 or 150 PSI, this can be plumbed anywhere that is directly connected to your tank.
I probably purchased twice as many fittings as I needed, as I had so much trouble with all the different sizes, going from different types of tubing etc. Unfortunately all my spares were in the jeep when it was stolen.

The reason I replaced the 242 is because it broke. The outer splines on the diff assembly ground away becuase one of the snap rings broke. That allowed the main shaft to move around enough to cause damage. Couldn't find a used diff and shift collar. New diff was around $600.

If you can't afford a 220 or don't have access to 220 then I say get a readywelder and a bottle of gas and go that route.
Price for that setup would be about 400 bucks plus you now have a trail welder.
Oh and a readywelder will stick anything you want together.....Need more juice....Use more Batteries.....And Grillman has welded for a long time on 2 batteries somethin like a hour or so....crap that is A LOT of spark time.', 1, 0, 2821, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL),

to me it is sorta scary seeing all the rigs running around that have been welded with those little welders. i would just get a stick no reason you can not make nice welds with on of them. i have a power mig 300 with a push pull torch setup and i love it but i run dual shield wire in it. on anything inportant i still stick weld it. i do know alittle bit of what i am talkin about i have 5 welding certs in my pocket and do it everyday for a living.', 1, 0, 2821, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL),

This was on my list of projects to do some day when I'm bored... I've looked into it, and the impression that I get is that you should use a shifter that is non-indexed (doesn't have any clicks) so that you have more adjustability in it. If one click takes you from idle to 2500 rpm, it won't be very useable. The way that I understand it, the non-indexed ones have a little d-ring screw that you can tighten or loosen without tools to adjust how easy/hard it is to move the throttle. If you want to hold a higher rpm for winching, onboard air, or welding, then just set it where you want it and tighten it all the way. Definitely take lots of pictures and do a write-up.

It's not hard to do Corey. A handlebar clamp and shifter a cable and holddown clamp and poof your in like flynn.

I plan on going to a bike shop and getting a gear shifter, but should I be looking for a certain amount of "clicks" in the shifter?
