  1. I'm scared to the point of wanting to get out of business and get back in to a 9-5er where I can benefit from his socialistic policies..
  2. schizophrenia is a bitch.. one of my dishwashers is schizo.. funny as hell to listen to his stories though If I were you i'd get rid of all your strange pictures on the net, because if somebody REALLY wanted to screw with you, all they'd have to do is print one out and put it in his mailbox
  3. Funny, I'm listening to Killswitch right now "My last serenade" I do number crunching better when I'm listening to metal for some reason.
  4. You guys are awesome, I didn't think to check courtesy parts... i thought they only dealt with newer model nissans. Just incase anybody is every curious, I also ran across these from Spencer Low Racing for the d21/wd21; Reinforced T-Bar Anchors (a little more than I want to spend, but would be great for somebody looking to do upgraded t-bars and didn't mind spending a little more). http://www.spencerlowracing.com/products/t...onbaranchor.htm
  5. That would be great!!!! Do you have a paypal address? Or, pm me your physical address and I'll send you whatcha want for it!
  6. I actually googled and found that before posting this... After checking out their "illustration" things just don't look right, and there is no description of whether it's a front or rear anchor just that it's an "anchor." So even though tempted, I closed the page before I made the wrong decision I really appreciate your help though!
  7. Well, I've been searching for days. Napa doesn't have anything in their system that is anywhere near what I'm looking for (they're the only parts supply store in the town I live in), and I can't find anything online for the part. I've stripped out the front passanger side Torsion bar anchor, and need to replace only it.. the splines on the t-bar are 100%. It'd be much easier to find the part if I knew the part #. Can anybody help? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
  8. I'd just check the fore and aft torsion bar anchor points, if you jack it up, you'll be able to tell what you're looking it... very simple setup. I don't know for sure, but I'd say that if the bar is still set in the anchors, you're looking at the same scenario as I am. IF it's just dislodged (which I doubt is even feasable under normal suspension compression), you should be able to reset it in the anchor that it's out of after checking to make sure that everything is still in good working order (no stripped threads).
  9. You know how earlier in this thread I mentioned that the bar popped out after hitting a log while overcoming it? I think that may be the culpret (albeit 2 years ago!?) At that point the bar had completely extracted itself from the front socket, so I checked the torsion bar, everything looked fine.. reinserted it and went. Maybe that's where the problem was. The bar could potentially be bent as previoulsy said... my eyeball level says no, but being that the torsion bar is rather long, even a marginal bend in the bar could affect how far it is inserted into the socket, and being that the end of the torsion bar's threads are slightly tapered, that could have caused it to strip out if not fully seated. I dunno.. it's an easy enough fix, but I may have found a free Waggy D44
  10. This is exactly what happened to me.... Either the bar completely unseated itself or the anchor is stripped out... I'm not sure what they mean by the torsion bar "went." I don't think we have enough in our pathys to rotate a torsion bar to the point where it breaks
  11. Great Information! Thanks! I absorb pretty quickly I would assume that a progressive torsion bar would be the same tensile strength material, just tapered. I know that's how progressive springs work, I've used them on my track cars in the past, and coils are thicker at the bottom than at the top.
  12. Ok... so... managed to get the torsion bar out, just let the jack down to about half the level it was at to put some compression on the control arms, which moved the rear anchor back to a postion where I could move it. I found the problem, half of the front anchor was fully stripped out. WTF.. I'm not really sure how the hell this happened. The torsion bar threads look fine. I'm pretty confused... I'll go ahead and order a new front anchor. OR I might just say f-9k it and look for d44. Will any year wd21 anchor work? I'm only assuming they would because of the interchangeabililty of torsion bars. Is there another part name for the front anchor? When I do a parts search, I can only find torsion bar anchor, no front or rear descriptions.
  13. Ok... so I finally had time to play with the pathy today. I jacked it up, the c-clip is still on the rear anchor/passanger side torsion bar, and i'm not sure how, but the anchor re-indexed itself where it had been adjusted to orginally. Now, I can't figure out how to lodge the anchor loose, because there is reverse tension on the torsion bar... wtf? Anybody have any ideas?
  14. So by preloading the bar by cranking it, you're not going to feel any difference in ride quality? Is it just the change in the front suspesion geometry that I'm feeling? Just curious.
  15. BFE is an old military slang acronym that means "Bum *my "vocabulary" is so small* Egypt" there is no "Butt" involved, it just means in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, if you decide to ferry up, just swing in and say hi while you're layed over in wrangell for the 45min to an hour that you're docked... On the otherhand, if you're going to do the road trip america thing... things to see, Black Hills, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountains, the Mississippi... Swing through Vegas, before heading north, drive the california coast (Pacific Coast Hwy/California State Rt 1). Before you do that drive through the Sequoia's in the Sierra Nevadas, then after drive through the Redwoods of Norcal... It's all a beautiful experience.
