PEAK PUTTERS

Again between wife, grandkids, and life in general it's been slow but have done a few things. Seats: Standard PRPs mount to the rollcage but also with factory sliders. Somehow it took me about 3 days of dodging rain and honey dos. The driver's seat went in fine but for some reason the pass side seat...

As the title says, 5.5-6" preferably.

Dang, if I'm thinking of a truck, just wait a couple months and Toby will do a review on it.

What was the problem with the Toy?

Isn't that Purdy.
Maybe not the green box but the yellow mounts should at least hold the engine under the hood.

So, with the front axle moved a little to far forward, I'm having a bit of a problem getting a pitman arm to fit in the SUA setup even with the "MORE" 1" PS box mount. At this time someone was nice enough to donate a TJ arm (thank you very much) that I think will work once the new spr...

WTB/T stock TJ pitman arm (or fits the description below).
5.5" long with ~1.5" of drop. If it's reamed for the Chevy 1/2 ton joints, even better.

Thought the XJ/TJ/YJs were all the same.
Am I wrong?

Anyone know of a stock pitman arm: 5.5 long, with about 1-1.5" of drop?
I have a stock Waggy right now which has about the right drop, to long. Also have a XJ but it has to much drop.

Let's go wheelin and see how it all works!! This has to be one of the best quotes I've see in a long time. I've got an old set of Mountain Off-Road Enterpsises YJ rear upper shock extenders if your interested? If memory serves they allow for about 2" longer shocks? Very I'll get a hold of you.

Little better front shot, little dark this morning.



Good thing is new tabs can take care of some travel length or move the top farther out if needed.

Thanks Toby. I've never been able to squish the suspension on this Jeep even with the stock springs. Also the tires will be way into the fenders at the bumps, so the bumps will most likely need to be lowered a touch. Really having issues with how to mount the rear shocks. I'm trying to keep the axle...

Still going at a snails pace. Never cared for using the stock modified mounts, nothing wrong with it just didn't like it. I also moved the shock from behind the axle to on top with the new towers. So off the stock shock towers go. http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i378/rjewing99/Blue_YJ/9A5DAF32-C...

After a mad scramble around town this morning looking for AN- fittings, wanted to get the brakes hooked back up and the existing 10mm doesn't fit the new 7/16 calipers well. I've come to the conclusion that nobody supports hotrods. Baxter's had the best selection but not what I was looking for and 3...

Or a better mounting system.

Did you end up putting a sleeve in these? or just hope the frame is strong enough?

Got room to spare and can open the doors.

Got more info?
Trailer spec and outside pic? please.

OK, I'll be different. When I ordered 35x12.5x15 tires for the Azer, I got 35x12.5x17. At that time everything was on back order and it's either run 17 or wait. I actually have had good luck with them, haven't noticed any difference between them and 15s, maybe a little extra help (I'm stretching her...

Just call it squatty. 20" to the frame. 73"ish to the top of B-pillar http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i378/rjewing99/Blue_YJ/03B715B9-DAD4-4B76-80DE-786CC82BB947_zpspekv7tsg.jpg http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i378/rjewing99/Blue_YJ/3D156648-2844-43B7-8EB6-8045BC7F6505_zps2qr32wuv....

There is about 3.5" to the bumps and about 3.5 to the flare, thinking the flare could use some cutting. The problem right now is, I really have no idea how much lift is there. The springs are worn out who knows what. The front spring mounts have been "frenched" into the frame. I do kn...

After playing lawn boy, general contractor, lawyer, banker, and overall handyman for my dad's estate this summer, it's time to get back to the Jeep. After wayyyyyy too much thinking, I decided to go back to SUA. Few reasons but the top two were driveshaft angle and just plain sat too high. So with s...

Full-size Chevy will be easier to find and should bolt in to the spring pads, well most of the parts were Chevy and it might be a direct bolt in for a 70's vintage. At least the front.

Not sure what exactly "electrical" is included, but might I suggest: More than minimum, IIRC is a outside & inside light and a plug-in. Run a new powerline with 200amp meter and fullsize breaker panel. You may not use all 36 but if you go to add, it will be nice to have the room. Also ...

And Ford just stepped it up with 440hp/925tq for 2017.

On the other hand, "The fast lane trucks" (youtube), a GM spanked the 900tq Dodge in the Ike test, so the number aren't telling the whole story.

Not sure where in Pasco you are, but definitely need to check building codes. Believe Pasco are pretty good nazis at keeping shops lower than the house. Also if you are on septic, the health department will have a say too, under an acre and thing get really interesting. As above, build as high as yo...

Is stepping up to the more expensive shocks worth it for the ride quality?

Just a single body without a remote reservoirs.

To be used on a YJ with 2.5-3.5" lift springs.
