I'm considering pushing 37s off until 2017 or at least until after next summer. My 35s have so much life left in them and there are other things I can spend my money on. My truck has already proven I don't NEED them.
I think this would be a great choice. The 37s will be a much bigger upgrade in Washington than in Moab. Ground clearance isn't the biggest issue on the vast majority of trails. Maximize your value in the tires you have...What kind of RPM were your turning on the highway going to California? The the tire diameter should be under 7% different so at 3,000 it should only be a couple hundred RPM difference. Is that enough to get you out of the powerband or really impact your fuel economy? I know some engines are more picky that others.I'm not sure my nearly stock gearing is really the best combo with my midrange cam...it doesn't seem to pull at higher RPM like my 85 did.
Why is it that almost every rig I see on here guys are running the drop pitman arms? I have always asked for a flat arm when I order high steer kits because I don't want the spring to whack it on up travel. I realize for a taller rig a drop arm helps with steering geometry, but on lower rigs what's the deal with it?
What size springs are you running man
what? you planned a Moab trip without me?
Thats really odd i run the same setup but with 5 in shackles, I no clearance problems with my pitman arm. Is your steering box in the factory location?
The pre filter is a great idea. Is that an oil type filter like K&N?
Yes AEM are the best, k&n filters with there oil is what gets inside your intake and collects on your throttle body,i have an AFE dry plus filter. i like it, non restrictive and oil-less and washable and reusable
I'm using the 12voltguy wiring kit. It is great and was not to blame. What happened was i was stupid and hit the switch to turn on the rear locker while it was submerged in the creek at Fordyce. This appears to have caused a short that ran to the contact you see with the burn mark on it.
You won't have to worry about water in Moab, at least nothing deep enough to submerge a diff.
you better find someone to drive for you then
Can you manually engage an e-locker without the motor? I'm thinking that it should be possible. It seems that air pressure is required for an ARB, but you can manually engage the cable type locker and I think there's a cable conversion for the e-locker, right? You can do a lot with a "spool" in the rear vs. an open differential like an ARB would give you.
i am just kidding . i just saw an opening for a joke. I'm sure he's a fine driver.
2. Shifter boot tattered (Remove/Replace - Only place I've found them is on Ebay)http://www.ebay.com/itm/321265721447?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649Very nice build!! Are those the Moab seats? How are they holding up?
They are very high quality. Didn't find them very comfortable at first but now i love them. I compare it to a pair of quality boots. You've got to break them and your body in and then they become very comfortable. They have a lot more support than most seats.
