New - used shoes

After the last Tahuya run, I've been gathering bits and pieces to 'fine tune' my current configuration and prepare for some new or at least newer rubber.

I added shackles from Ebay. These things are really thick and required new bolts. Then I removed one of the 5 leaves to soften things up a little and drop some of the height gained. This combination shold flex better sine the spring eye now has about 4" more travel.

My freeway vibration came back with a vengence then I remembered replacing the driveshaft on the BII before I made Kevin buy it. The double cardan shaft wants to see the trans output shaft and the pinion shaft parrallel to each other. I added 4* shims but it's still about 3* off. I'll pick up some 6* shims today.

Up front, I'm trying several things. The Duff coils have settled a bit so I'm trying some coil spacers. I think I'll get a set of cheap body lift pucks and cut them to several heights so I have a variety to choose from.

I picked up a Pro-Comp drop pitman arm to get the steering linkage closer to parrallel to the ground.

I also have a Trac-Loc rebuild kit. I'll change the clutch configuration and 'tighten' things up by running 4 plates per side instead of 3.

I've been watching Craigslist for a while and there have been lots of 35" MT's but few 33's,,,,until now. Hopefully I'm the first to respond to the posting and I'll get to see them today, http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/pts/633060908.html

I have seen the x-terrians on the trails a couple times and was not impressed with them, the BFG M/T does well here in washington

 

[jrgaylor]

Get a solid axle under the front and be done with the vibration.

Thanks Joe!

Well Joe found me some new shoes

Anyone need some 6 lug rims?? Came off a Chevy.

 

[jrgaylor]

Little bit of drive, once you get the tire off the rims put the rims on craigslist you should be able to get $100 for them easy, if they are as good as they look in the picture, or you can save the rims you may need them when you do your SAS

I was going to dump them on the side of the road in Mt Vernon

I think I've sanded them so much trying to make them round, the original balance has to be way off.

 

[JPistheman]

did you ever get your new tires mounted?

how are you liking them?

 

[Albino 94LTD]

Love em!

They ride great on the highway and not too shabby off road either.

Now for lockers, gears, sliders, etc, etc, etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[JPistheman]
