Sorry to hear about that steering box. You can go ahead and put the shaft and pitman in that box andmock up your steering box, plus it will be lighter, and mabye easier to move around while you figure out the perfect placement. You will of course need that front axle under there in order to get everything parallel.
Did you get your shackle tube holes cut out of the frame as well?
Forgot to mention that I called Hendrix Motorsports about the 6-pin mod for the locking hubs. They told me it'd be several months before they would have enough people's hubs to justify changing tooling on their CNC machine. He also told me people don't do it hardly anymore because ARP hub studs have solved much of the problem with snapping studs and dowel pins. So, I'm back to saving about $100 and buying ARP hub studs. It gives me some time back, too, because I can use my hubs without waiting on shipping and tooling time It's snowing here right now, so I might go out to play with Snoop and bank on class getting canceled. I'm kinda sad Michael didn't give me more grief. What's up with that
Good idea I'll use it for steering mock up!Huh? I've got an 85. I'm just gettin' a little beef and lift out of the new hanger
I'm just proud to see you finally got off your duff and did something.
I may have to come down and finish it, in a weekend,
If your going 12.5 or wider tire go ahead and get a 10 inch rim to add the beadlocks too. Your tires will wear much better especially if they see any road miles.
The SXs will last much longer than the irocs, and will be a little better suited to muddy conditions if you see that type of terrain much. IROCS are awesome in the rocks, even muddy rocks,(probably due to their softer compound) but they don't clean out well in gummy mud.
I always viewed anti coning rings as a gimmick. I know what they are supposed to do, but are they really necessary?
You can get 2.5" or 3.5" backspaced RockCrawlers from here: http://www.4wheelcustoms.com/Products.asp?Cat=415Looking good so far!
