    Tig rig recommendations

    I have had an Everlast 205si for about 5 years. I love the way it welds no complaints at all there, well maybe more amps 250 would be plenty for anything I do. I do regret getting a multiprocess machine. If I replaced it I would get a separate tig machine and plasma. Probably a cheap plasma at...

    Bump stops

    Mounting location looks good. You don't' look to have many options for pads if you mount them behind the shock. Agree on articulating before welding them out. I would set the bumps to bottom out right before the shock shaft bumper touches the body. Shocks are to expensive to not protect them.

    I’m thinking of replacing my glass windshield

    I have a Jeep YJ. I used a grinder to removed the windshield hinge pin. Tapped the outside part of the hinge to match the threads of a 3/4 ton gm brake caliper bolt. I use a bolt on each side. Tabs and a couple bolts at the top. 4 bolts and unplugging the wiper motor and the windshield frame...

    I’m thinking of replacing my glass windshield

    I ran a Lexan windshield in my YJ for about 6-8 years. It gets scratches from dust/mud and limbs over time. I decided to go back to glass after not being able to see driving up v notch in the afternoon at Morris Mtn. The sun hits the scratches and creates a big glare. I only ride with the...

    Favorite Wheeling Picture

    Thanks for the info. I makes sense that I've never been on it. We always hit the left side of the park. All I have ever done is a hot lap down the powerline and back.

    Favorite Wheeling Picture

    Is this at Hawk Pride? If so what area of the park? That looks like fun.

    Ball Joint Eliminators for old Dana44?

    I've used them on a SD 60, I like them. For $150 I would do them on a D44.

    Engine swap...options

    I ride with a guy who wheels a 95 YL 2.5 and AX5. We swapped his 231 for a 231/Dana300 doubler. He absolutely loves it and lets the 2.5 sing it's song. WeePow! Could be an option.

    Is this a new build or has the engine been running code free prior to this?

    Mounting a phone in your rig.

    Update. Found this one for the same price and more obvious as to what it is. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L9R2XTS/?tag=hardlinecrawlers-20

    Trail safety

    This thread has inspired me to do a little rethinking. I've always carried a first aid kit and have some first aid training but it is usually stashed away in an ammo box in the rig. I think will be looking into these boxes and making a quick release mount for my vehicles so it is out in the...

    6L80 Tap shift issue

    Following as well for info as I'm working on the exact same build. I would think the cam and converter should be the trigger to the problem or any changes to the tune due to them. Do you know if you lost tap shift prior to the tuner connecting to the ecm,pcm? or as you stated didn't find out...

    Reconditioning shock bodies / rust?

    Planning to rebuild shocks. Seals, shims and bearings are easily sourced. My question is on the shock bodies themselves. The bodies are starting to rust and corrode. I'm looking into options other than new parts. 4 new bodies are over $150. I have 8 coil-overs I would like to do hence my...
