How did you move your front end 1 1/4 in forward? Did you re-drill the spring perches in the front?

Yep! easy as pie, took a little less then an hour with 2 people. easy when you have a forklift, air tools and a plasma cutter

rednk1980 · « **Reply #1385 on:** Apr 23, 2007, 10:03:03 PM »

did you have to re-drill the u-bolt plate the 1 1/4 back to keep the center pin square? Im doing the same thing just cant figure out if i need to re-drill the ubolt blate or not.

Hyena · « **Reply #1386 on:** Apr 23, 2007, 10:12:30 PM »

thats what the plasma cutter was for. i could have just redrilled it but i decided to cut it. a lot quicker.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #1387 on:** Apr 23, 2007, 10:13:50 PM »

thanks that helps me out alot now i know i need to drill them out. One more thing is your steering arms going to hit because you moved the axle that much more forward?

Another thing that helps is when you have no bushings in your spring eyes, once you get the u-bolts undone and the weight of the truck off the springs you can just push them out of the way to drill the perch.

that truck just gets cooler every day

Don't give away my secret to better flex!

So what'd you break on the jambo? It wouldn't be a wheeling trip without breaking something. You and I have the same luck I think.

Hyena · « **Reply #1394 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 01:26:44 PM »

"I" didn't break anything on my truck. Brittany tried taking my truck up Backdoor saturday night. She gave it hell with the pedal to the floor. ended up shearing a front spring center pin. leafs went flying out of it. found the bottom leaf about 50 feet back down the trail some how. the only spare center pin i had was only long enough to put 4 leafs back in. and then the u-bolts wouldn't get tight enough for just 4 leaves. so i had to ratchet strap the springs to the axle. limped it back to camp with the gangster lean. i haven't fixed it yet. did bend a lower link slightly on one of the trails.

gotrocks · « **Reply #1395 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 10:20:50 PM »

Haha thats funny. Just flip the link around. I did the same thing and just flipped it around, that way when it hits again it will help straighten it back.

gotrocks · « **Reply #1396 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 10:21:56 PM »

I can't wait to wheel with you guys at the roundup. It's going to be a lot fun.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #1397 on:** May 02, 2007, 09:41:11 PM »

Brad i gotta pick you brain for a second. Do you steering arms touch at all when flexed to the passenger side. Im worried that the two arms are going to hit each other when im flexed all the way passenger. Could you show me a couple pics of your steering box and how you mounted it as well. Thanks it really appreciated.

arms hit each other??? and by flex what do you mean? up or down? either way im confused? didnt know arms could hit? and steering box. he doesnt ahve one. he magically gets it through any rock he wants. you have to wheel malls for a long time before you can wheel curbs and elemtary parking lots

Hyena · « **Reply #1399 on:** May 03, 2007, 06:02:19 PM »

my pitman arm from the box does contact the tie rod after i redrilled the spring perches and oved the axle forward 1 1/4 inches. i need to do something about that. my steering arms don't hgit anything. and the frame is plated where the box is front and back. i tilted it as far as i could to move the pitman arm up higher.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #1400 on:** May 03, 2007, 07:32:00 PM »

thanks thats what i need to know.

how much tire pressure you running brad? and have you ever blown a bead with them iroks. i ran mine at 5 and still havent blown a bead

Hyena · « **Reply #1402 on:** May 04, 2007, 06:09:27 PM »

not sure what they are at. the gauge i had wasn't working right. i haven't blown a bead yet. i never blew a bead with my mtr's either and i ran them at 5-8 psi every trip. the Iroks hook up a lot better!

yotamckimboy4x4 · « **Reply #1403 on:** May 04, 2007, 06:32:56 PM »

ToYocRawleR · « **Reply #1404 on:** May 06, 2007, 05:02:20 PM »

How does your motor stand the beating???

Hyena · « **Reply #1409 on:** May 07, 2007, 09:43:20 PM »

i have been tryingto kill this pos motor and i have not had any luck in doing that. it runs good for just crawling. but when i try to go fast it cuts out like no other. i think the injectors maybe clogged or something. it ran better after i rolled it and hydrolocked the motor here.

and i did finally hit the roof!
