    track bar

    The drag link and track bar angles and lengths still need to match to prevent bumpsteer.

    Family Truckster LJ build

    Love all the choices so far. Ironically my Silver LJ has the same scuff on the passenger rear corner. I have a narrowed 05 D60 and Sterling with elocker and 4.88s. I'm considering selliing them and building 9's due to using a 37-38" tire.

    New here need help

    Welcome, Unfortunately more salvage yards removed the calipers and send the on to reman companies. I've had good luck using rockauto to get part numbers and then comparing on Amazon due to the cost of shipping heavy 1 ton brake parts.

    French Tickler buggy

    I have been looking at the BK Offroad for a high steer solution for my 05 up knuckles. I see that they machine the F450 knuckle to leave a key behind. It looks like there is no key in the F250 knuckle. I think it would be great if they could incorporate the key onto all the knuckles they...

    French Tickler buggy

    I like the idea of milling the factory knuckle flat and bolting on a steer arm vrs the expense of purchasing new knuckles. The factory knuckles are very strong. We just need a high steer solution. I have noticed a couple of different versions of the style of steer arm you used. Most use the rear...

    NP205 doubler mounting

    I would advise 3 mounts. Obviously 2 engine mounts and a single transmission/tcase mount. BUT!! I would build a solid mount bridging the transmission and the tcases and then use a single mount under it. This designs puts all the torque load through the engine mounts and doesn't break tail housings.

    King of the Hammers (KOH) 2022

    Those Gomez boys have been so close so many times there were due one. This years race was the most entertaining for me as an internet fan. Raul's pass in the rocks twice for 1st over Scherer had me cheering. Good to see Wayes and Schofield finish strong after last years event.

    Full hydro steering, unequal length tie rods causing major handling problems?

    I disagree with this as well. I have charged shocks from 0 psi/kpa to 200 psi-1378 kpa and the vehicle height will raise. The King engineer may have been trying to focus on coil-over spring function vs an air shock. I would have had to hear the conversion to agree differently.

    4 link front jeep tj

    If you have straight lower links, I would not go below 40 degrees with the uppers. If your lowers are triangulated to 45 degrees, then your uppers could be straight (no triangulation) Think MINIMUM triangulation = the sum of the all the links of 40-40 degree total.

    4 link front jeep tj

    Front 4 link is a stronger design due to the additional upper link. It also does not suffer from the axle moving laterally because there is no track/panhard bar. 4 link does require full hydraulic steering though. What type of steering do you have now?

    Trying to get it mostly right the first time: A 5.9 Magnum and 46RE swapped, Tummy Tucked Daily Driven Jeep TJ

    Results from car-part.com 1999 Explorer V6 4.10 ratio. I think these are open, easy to add a lunchbox locker. Birmingham Area Digging the build so far.

    Just another LJ Build

    I did some searching and found where people are getting good results from writing the PCM with a similar tune from a 4x4. ( should be some in the HP Tuners repository) Then copying over your tables / settings. Then the transmission would shift correctly...
