Same here. I was running D rated Nitto's, but switched to E rated when they came out. Could definitely tell a difference when towing.

 

As soon as you are ready let me know. No need to wait until the Chilie Challenge!!! If I can't take you out the the trails I am sure I can find someone you can hook up with. I am also in the "working on it" stage. Trying to streatch the length in the rear about 6 inches and go to coil springs with a four link.

 

Is your avitar from the Challenge? Looks like it is from tobasco twister or rocotillo.

Friday was very windy.

Hey D, did you have your surgery yet??

 

Yeah, that was the last obstacle on Habenero Falls. If you and 53Willys decide on a run this fall, let me know. I will definitely be there

 

OH Habenero...Good trail!!!!

I am hopeing to be wheeling this summer but will also be doing the work on the suspension. By fall I should be just fine. Either of you are more than welcome anytime.

 

you guys will be hearing from me as soon as my junk is done
I really wanna run those trail and now I gotta do it before they close them

Thanks for the offers guys Cheers

 

What are you doing to your rig anyways?

PM me any time.

 

pretty much building it from scratch it's been a ton of work and it's my first full build up
specs
1953 ****** pick up
4.3 FI motor
4.3 atlas
700r4 trans reverse Manual VB
16" Fox 2.0's

I will be so glad when I can get out on the trails again

 

she looks sweet

 

Too much fun.. I also have cj5 ****** that someday I will restore. My grandpa gave it to me for a graduation project!!!

Shahe

 

Looking good so far. I've always loved that body style. Mog axles are great and the tube work looks awesome. I just have one question about your steering. Is that just a mock up or final for the way the hydro cylinder will attach to the steering knuckles? Kind of hard to tell but it looks to be a possible weak point. Also, any driveshaft clearance issues with the oil or tranny pan using the Mog axle? Overall a great looking rig so far. Keep it going!!!

 

Thanks
The steering is pretty much done other then I plan to double shear the high steer arm's where the heim joint mounts, is that what your talking about??

I took it to my d-lines guy and he says it will be no problem....it will be a 2 piece front d-line tho..
