Tell your friend thanks. I've never seen anyone else willing to go to the effort of posting their adapter specs. One question though....What is the thickness of the BH adapter plate? I didn't see it anywhere and there isn't a side view of it like the crank/flywheel adapter. I read thru your...

Didn't even take note of the front shackles already being done!:26_7_2:

LOL sounds like about 1/2 of my outta the norm improvements. "Wow, that looks good!" : one week later: "Crap!#%*!, didn't think about that. Now I gotta tear back into a stage that I thought I'd checked off the to-do list." Don't sweat the YJ. Everything on it was good enough to have been...

You're right. I'm sure they are crap and should have just stuck with the 44s from the Rubicon as the SF 60 is a POS. Anyway since Chrysler Fiat has gone full nutjob with the pricing on these Jeeps why didn't they stick their whizbang new portal axles in? Then it would have something that...

My point was made about the J8, not a hardcore weekend thrasher that can be destroyed and then rebuilt during the offseason. The J8 is an expensive outlay of money. It is built for a specific purpose and that purpose is not to be an extreme machine for any application. They aren't intended...

We have 4 fur flingers, and they are a major reason for me wanting a larger cargo area in my build This is a bit of a misconception perpetuated by magazines and the aftermarket. A Dana 60 (even in SF form) is a 3/4-1 ton rated axle for fullsized trucks and vans, either vehicle style is...

Fluid film is great stuff, but it does remain tacky and doesn't wash off easily. If I lived in a place with high salt content in the air or where they salt the roads I 'might' consider using it as an undercoating on suspension parts. The problem is it makes working around it messy and...

i didn't see it until today, but this may help others.....for making the curved outer sections you can also use strips of board (not plywood). Use strips 1-2 inches wide, bevel edges to approximately match as they go around the curved framework. then go over the blocky edges with a belt sander...

I REALLY like this. Could be because its sorta like what I've been going towards with my project. Big, heavy, comfy, easy to use and completely practical for 99% of the time. Not a crawler, not a mud basher, a great DD that can still handle some fun offroad and be driven to/from with total...

Yeah I figure about the same number who'll admit that paying through the nose for a stripped down work truck version of a JK is 'better' than grabbing the dolled up cushy version. I've had Jeeps, early Broncos, big Broncos, and trucks of every shape, size, and configuration. Comfortable seats...

LOL I guess I just don't get it. Everyone goes all googly-eyed when they see a Jeep with big tires, great ground clearance, and articulation like its the 2nd coming or something (they even come up with a whole new category---LCoGs i.e. JKU on 40s). Then along comes something with 'regular'...

Exactly what I was getting at. I didn't know what you were intending to seal with and do for a final over all coating, but we'd always put several coats of resin on the ends and around the edges before glassing something. Since you'd mentioned undercoating I didn't know if you were going with...

Thanks guys I'm not a black wheel person, as every 9 out of 10 aftermarket wheel on the road is now black. I like my stuff to stand out a bit but I also hate the way polished and chrome wheels' finishes are essentially ruined cosmetically after 5-6 years from corrosion or brake dust. Atleast...

If you have the option, always treat the mating surfaces before assy. If I read correctly you were going to glue and screw, wood glue probably won't adhere well after coating, BUT 5200 is legendary. It will 'stick' to nearly everything and once it sets, its there for life. Removal will...

That looks nice. Where is that?

My quandary about whether to go LJ or CJ8 length has also been made! I was kind of draggin my feet on tearing into the stretch since GOOD used tops for a Scrambler are either absurdly priced or they don't turn out to be that ‘good' when viewed as the person handing over the money vs being...

The thought of cheap 2-1/2” spacers on the front of my rig at interstate speeds began to give me reason to pause. A couple of the holes weren't perfectly drilled on the lug circle and the material was so thick that I had a couple threads still showing on my normal height lugnuts. After...

Get a Tahoe, Take the "extra" money from your budget and put in some lockers, real sliders/step bars, and possibly aftermarket bumpers/winch. There are some very nicely built bumpers out that will blend into modern vehicle's body lines so that they are unnoticeable to all but the 'normal'...

What do you like? tinkering, modern technology, nostalgia, car shows, classics, performance, V8 rumpity rump, something to give you a reason to hit swap meets for? I will only assume you are looking at vehicles with 'modern' conveniences (good sealing tops, AC available, power steering and...
