don't forget the tension rods lol

I've done steering - no money for an engine swap - I have new 31x10.5's on 15x8 Cragars.

WHOOPS. i read it as "install air tank"

My least favorite feature in a front bumper is when they are essentially useless. Yes Mr WD21, my 1978 VW has stronger bumpers than you...

That is my exact reason for building a new one. Damn things are especially worthless after a body lift.

it can be done in a weekend. my lest favorite part of the swap was the clutch lines and master cylinder install. you also have to switch the brake pedal or trim it. good luck you'll be happy you did it in the end!

I'm the world's slowest shade tree mechanic! I already have done the pedals swap, and have all but the dampner-slave cylinder line installed now. Just fighting to remove the auto now!

good luck to you my friend. much rather deal with a clutch than torque converter.

Congrats

what will you be doing?

Welding and Metal's Fab. Although I'm just getting the last of my generals out now.

I've read countless arguments for and against, I've bought many different brands of springs over the years, and I've also cut an inch or two off many springs for myself and others and never really noticed much difference at all. People love to argue about is one, but I have done it and think its just fine. Moderation is the tick. Just trim off about half of what you would like to lose, and see where that puts it.

Seriously, this is nowhere near the big deal some folks...

Are they progressive rate or straight-rate springs? If they are PR then it could feasibly effect the spring rate or at least the range of which the rate changes, depending on which end and how much you take off. But I would imagine that they are SR springs, so the sprint rate should not be effected at all.

I think JGC springs are the best way to go. I carry about 200 lbs. of gear in the back of my pathfinder, and the JGC springs offer a really comfy ride. This should be a post.

Honestly Bud, I don't think you will find anything much cheaper than that. WD21s are worth $300-400 scrap last time I checked.

That's probably why I keep finding busted WD21s on Craigslist for $300-400.

Yeah, starting to see that it may be cheaper to just buy an actual trailer.

It was my understanding that you needed new bolts for the 3 inch, not the 2. But I could be wrong

Sorry, not familiar with the BL for your truck, but a 6" bolt for a 2" BL? Is the OE bolt 4"? Anyway, I get all my hardware from boltdepot.com...awesome selection, awesome service. They don't have a 150mm in that size though.

If you got it from 4x4 parts they should include the proper size in the kit. I recently put a 2" on my 95. The proper size bolts were in the kit.

and peperoni

bacon

pizza

they ride better without them anyway!

if you removed them wouldn't the front end sit on the tires? idk so i ask. lol

The tires are off, the front is supported by jack stands.

With a flange spanner and pinto link.

0.o

Get the 2 14mm bolts out of the way and very carefully...

haha, one day I am going to find my 10+ missing tubes!

Yeah, I know I had at least 2 of the blue stuff. But owell, picked up some permatex black already.

RVT, always appears when you ain't looking for it...

You will love them. Doug Thorley does not disappoint. lol

I have to wait a few more months it turns out!

Well that sucks.

wouldn't be the first one, but hey if it's a useful post to the thread that can still help someone...

That fuction is hit and miss. But at the same time, brining old threads back too life is sometimes useful.

ZOMBIES!?!!?!?

*grabs his machette and shotgun*

I used Timken L68111.

I've used LM67010

You can just take the bushing into a parts store and have them find the one that fits best.

When I did the JGC console and moved the handle I had to bend a tab so I could bolt it to the side of the tunnel

had to bend a tab when I did the QX4 console

Ok, thanks everyone.

That sucks, but it might be cheaper/easier to with 9/16-18 tap and bolt instead. The are very close in size...

I already have the M14x1.5 tap. *shrug* Local places give me a good deal on metric bolts too.

Will keep that in mind, we should have a 9/16-18 tap at school.

Well, if you already have one, don't listen to me!

A 9/16-18 would be a M14.29x1.41

too bad

My shocks came with new ones

use saftly first when 'polishing the tailpipe'

Always remember to "whipe the dipstick?" with both hands.

The Geolandars are excellent tires.

That's what I've read! Will be mounting them on cragar soft 8's.

SLC? That hooker finally call you back?

Yep, I hear you. I am stuck in NC on what the spousal unit calls "vacation." One day I will learn to unwind.

Just throw a new/used tranny in. Easier and cheaper.

Meh, looking into a cleaner 94 with a stick shift. Would then make Apathy the parts truck lol.

who?

Kitty!

Behold the power of a jack and a BFH!

Dont you love it when your aggression and frustration lead to the intended result? lol

Steal them from a wd21 in a parking lot?

Krylon touch the windows, that will keep the light out!
