Yayyyyy!
ARB combo bar. Thought long and hard about the Sahara, but seeing the combo on DNP'S green 100 is what sold me. Plus I have a TJM straight bumper on my 62 and always regretted not getting the bull bar.
Ron that's my favorite look. Post pics when its on. That's next after my sliders
Ok, Papalud and Shush, I've just about decided to swap my front bumper. If either of you are interested in my front combo bar, let's talk and see if we can work something out.......

ha....why you wanna give me hell about that? I grew up on the ocean. Its what I love.
Any of you guys ever done (or know/recommend someone) an AHC to traditional suspension conversion?
I've already sunk $1200 into my AHC in the last 6 months, and today it's throwing codes indicating the computer is out...gonna be another $1150.
At this point I would almost rather put that $1150 toward a traditional suspension swap...?

Agreed!
Don't know much about it, but I would recommend an AHC delete. Doesn't make sense to just keep throwing money at it when you could just buy a "traditional" suspension lift instead
Yeah, ACC in Atlanta just quoted me $1135 + $650 labor to switch to a 2-2.5" Ironman suspension....that almost seems like a no-brainer to me at this point. Tired of worrying about whether or not AHC will work one day to the next. Good concept i guess, but crappy reliability.
That's what I'd do. Cool concept for a street vehicle, but I'd rather have a "normal" suspension for the stuff we do.

I don't think you need to pay to get this done though.
100 series suspensions are easy. Not sure what to do with the AHC fluid, but I am sure there is a step-by-step on Mud.
2006 AHC failure is rare. Wonder why you having so much trouble? No way I would pay to fix it though.

OME 2" kits are only $850 shipped, too.
If u can do frame up resto on the 40 you can do this. Make sure you get a diff drop kit.
I agree with Nolen on all points. This shouldn't require anything but a removal of the AHC system (draining it should be relatively easy, since you're already familiar with the fluid replacement process), and replacement with another suspension system. Don't know about the Ironman Suspensions, but after following Nolen's experiences, replacing your AHC with OME T-bars and 866 rears will provide a level stance and a smooth ride (that's what I currently have). That being said, I can't say I'm very impressed with my OME shocks....VERY soft. I plan to replace them with Bilsteins.
Also, I agree with Nolen's question about the AHC failure. It's certainly not unprecedented (like that double-negative?), but it is rare. Wonder if the Slee override had anything to do with its premature demise?
