    Extended bumpstop pictures needed

    I will get some pictures up as soon as I can. Still getting the last spring on, thought I'd be done today but 90 degrees and humid in my garage makes everything take a lot longer. Hopefully I'll have it 100% this week. I wanted to address the bumps before I get the wheels back on but I think...

    Extended bumpstop pictures needed

    Thank you, that's along the lines of what I'm thinking as far as adjusting the angle as well as extending the bump. My factory stops are either trashed or missing completely so I'm thinking about going the universal route. I already have shock hoops up front and shocks through the floor in the...

    Extended bumpstop pictures needed

    i did a little searching but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I just installed an ome 2.5" spring kit on my 40 and I'm looking at reworking my bumpstops all the way around. Does anyone have pictures I could use for ideas? I'm trying to keep these tires from getting destroyed by the...

    Installed Old Man Emu springs and shackles this past weekend

    Thank you for the replies. I don't know what to do now, the cruiser leans due to a flat, damn near inverted, rear passenger spring. My weight is balanced side to side. I have a custom fuel tank in the back that's full width and a winch up front with a heavy bumper. But no top and no doors and...

    Installed Old Man Emu springs and shackles this past weekend

    I just received my springs today and noticed the + and - stenciled on them. The rears are both - and the fronts are one of each. What does that symbol mean? Any info appreciated thank you

    Saginaw mounting plate

    It will be driven on the road but by no means a daily driver. It's always had a road trip limit of about 50 miles and not often. Now that you mentioned 60 steering arms, I converted to disc brake a few years back by using fj60 knuckles and I'm fairly sure I used the 60 arms, can't think of a...

    Saginaw mounting plate

    I've never broken a 40 TRE so it's not a huge concern to me, I just wanted to do it once and be done. My cruiser is too tired and beat up to take too much more abuse so it will be more of a slow and easy kind of rig, however my foot gets awful heavy from time to time and my cruiser has been know...

    Saginaw mounting plate

    That seems to be the popular opinion. Sacrifice longevity for strength, which may be worth it in this case. I just like the idea of heavy dOM linkage

    Saginaw mounting plate

    Makes perfect sense. Pitman should have a level plane of travel. This inspires a new question, should drag link be level or have some angle to it? I'm wondering if I have the correct arm. Also, and this may be off topic but this is my thread so whatever, is there any debate between heim joints...

    That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

    Saginaw mounting plate

    Thanks for all that info. The problem I have is that all the plates are $70+ and while it's totally worth it, it just pains me to spend that on a part someone else made, I like creating my own, which is why I wanted to find the plans, or maybe I'm a cheap ass and I'm used to building with what...

    Saginaw mounting plate

    That's not a bad option, I will keep that in mind in case I don't find something I like better, thank you. Do you have any pictures of it mounted on your 40?

    Saginaw mounting plate

    When I say hard wheeling I mean driving like I stole it. I've already torn both front rear spring hangers out of the frame taking chunks of frame with them, bend axle tubes, twisted the frame, sheared shocks off their mounts, and so on. I rolled it 400 feet off a cliff when I was 16 and I...

    Saginaw mounting plate

    No I didn't. Where would I find that? I haven't been on mud in so long it's like I'm relearning how to navigate all over again haha. Normally I wouldn't even ask and I would've gone that route, I've built this cruiser ground up, destroyed, rebuilt, and so on for years but since I moved I'm...

    Saginaw mounting plate

    Where can I find that kit? Thanks for all the input. It's not a complicated part just a tad beyond the tools I have at hand currently. I know I could build one which is why I can't justify the high prices but it will save some time and effort. I had a pdf of the plate years ago when I started...

    I saw that kit and it is the nicest one I've seen. But $200 is out of my price range at the moment.

    Saginaw mounting plate

    I'm looking for a reasonably priced mounting plate for my Saginaw conversion. I have access to a plasma table but I'm terrible with the CAD program. Does anyone have a pdf of the mounting plate? Or a source for an inexpensive one? I can't justify spending $80 on a flat plate with some holes in...

    Non-stock grill

    Just wanted to chime in since I had the same issue for a long time. The only thing that fixed mine was an aluminum radiator, nothing fancy and I think it came from eBay, and a Taurus fan behind it. I had the exact same clearance issue with mine and didn't have the skill, time, or know how to...

    Sagina box and warn upright winch
