Hopefully won’t need to, but that’s part of the testing! The spindle is mounted through a 2x4 3/16th tube which is gusseted in the rear and bottom. It’s welded top, bottom, and vertically on the inside of the tube before the end was plated shut. Frame mount is 1/4” using a grade 12 1/2” bolt...
Buddy of mine helped build it, 1 off right now as we work out how it performs at Moab. Frame mounts were all table cut though so could be replicated. We’re using the E3 latch, and a stinger design because I was worried about a regular tire plate carrier flexing too much with the 37. The swing...
I’m bringing a trailer with me because I don’t want to go deaf riding 37s from Florida, so I’ve got space. Just swapped from ARB skids to budbuilt ones - if anybody wants/knows someone who could use the ARBs, I’ll bring them and they’re yours for a case of PBR.
Took a page from @Atwalz book and installed the Rago Fabrication washer bottle (pulled mine for 37s). We have a bracket between the radiator core support and the bumper support that is bolted in. Removed it, drilled 2 holes, and use a bit of 1/8th aluminum plate to space it away from the...
As I was fiddling around after replacing alternator/valley-plate, I did notice there's some decent tension on the power steering lines to the reservoir. No problems yet, but it's on my list of things to attempt to address. Might be as simple as shifting the mount inwards (my air pumps are...
Any way to open the ring up with drain holes on the front? Those little hidden slits don’t really do all that much, but larger visible openings might look cool
Do you have sliders? That adds significant time since you need the pinch weld to jack from. Overall it’s an easy 2 hour job. Hardest part is removing the interior carpet to reach the center bolt mounting the body to the frame. You don’t have to loosen the steering or brake lines. Radiator/fan...
Just did this crap job - id absolutely recommend reinstalling the coolant pipe before reinstalling the plate cover. Generous coolant around the o-rings and it goes in quite nicely.
