making my 5 a 6

Chuck ,that's not including the tire size,right?l

crap I will need help getting the spare tire on the jeep cage.it's a killer

 

O;o

 

I love forklifts for twisting junk up.

 

????????

 

ok no pics for awhile now ... lots of little stuff done .

radios run'n

twisted Sway up with a buddys forklift .got 30" of upward travel before a 3rd tire lifts off the ground .probably a bit more with real world stuff




installed bumpstops from MPC in the frontend to keep tires from beating fenders(thanks Mike )



cut 3/8"off front yoke so I don't drive shaft through transfercase if I hit a bump at speed .I have shackle reversal

 

Preety good for a leaf spring set-up, with my coil spring on my 5's i can lift 32 inch before another one get up. You can have a little more if you do it with 5-6 psi in the tire.

 

drove it around today on and off road , OBA filter was not fully tightened on to the York compressor ,it rattled loose ,fell off onto the header and melted the plastic oil site glass on the side,spilling oil on header not good lots of smoke .......found I forgot the cotterpin on the AA chain clutch , no biggie,pin didn't fall out
drove on the hwy . man people drive so fast ,,WHY??? what is the rush
no real shimmys or vibrations .didn't really notice the 35's,,,,, I thought I would loose more power .

Johneyboy give me a year to break it in and I'll make 32" .

 

Lookin great Steve! Can't wait to see it on the Rubicon with the group

 

Thats great news (aside from the smoke show anyway)! So does that mean you are roading it up in July?

 

that's my plan/goal but we shall have to see how work plays out .......right now I'm booked solid .if I have work I need to take it,,,,,since the first part of the year was very bad .

 

how did you sink in your headlights like that?

 

it uses an m38a1 grille...

 

Right on Steve, glad to see its goin!!! Looks awesome. If you slap some yota springs on, you can hit right between 38-39".... Just sayin haha. Hope you can make it, I will be there long as work dont cancel my vacation.
