so if i were in the same situation again and i tapped the brake the lsd would kick the power back over to the right rear? ..(that doen't make sense to me)...i had my left rear suspended..

So if u havea locker both wheels spin together no matter what? even through turns? lets say i'm stuck in a rut where one tire is in the rut...with LSD the tire hanging in the rut will spin . but with a locker... will they both still spin? or will i have the same results..one tire spinning? (I used the rut example cause.. i backed up into a nice rut yesterday ...lol oops.. eh, maybe 3 ft deep.. the diff was on the ground...rear left tire was spinning in the air...while the right rear was tucked and not spinning at all...that was fun to get out of.. :help: )

sweet thnx i'll look for those plugs under the rear fender. i'll get on that this weekend.

i don't know how many of you have a CB or a Ham radio in thier pathy but i'm in the process of putting a new ham radio antenna on mine and was just wondering...what has been the best way to get the coax ran inside the pathy? i'm going to be mounting mine on the spare tire rack but thehn i don't know how to get the coax insode while keeping water out... thnx

yeah i have the rear sway bar taken out and I jacked up the rear of the pathy from the trailer hitch to see if they would fall out and watch for stretching brake lines etc.. and everything seemed to be fine. so if i get longer springs i think everything will be ok???..i'm thinking of just ordering the calmini 3" ones i know it's more $$ but how would the ride differ? which way is actually better...if it matters at all.. so basically if money was no object for getting 3" lift what would be the best way? would u still use the JGC springs? or would u get new ones from somewhere else? if so where from?? thnx

ok thats good to know about adjusting it by cutting... i was aloso looking at the calmini web site and saw in the 3" lift kit there are a rear track bar bracket... i don't know what that is and if it's required or a good idea...what does it do?? also a brake line extension bracket... with my shocks not being as long as the calmini ones ...i am thinking i won't have as much travel so i won't need the brake extension ...but i still don't know what the rear track bar bracket is??....

ok so now that that is out of the way...i have read that the best is to just go to the junk yard is that right? or is there a better place to get them? also how does it ride with the f100 or JGC coils(don't know what year or if it matters) ? ...i'm assuming it's gonna be more stiff...and how much do they actually lift? i thought it was 3" but i just read 3.5", i don't wanna get too big i'm only on 30's.. thnx

i have read all over the forum that i could get JGC coils for 3" but the rancho shocks that i have say they are good with up to 2.5" lift. i know rancho HAD 2.5" rear springs but they are now discontinued.. what other springs are there for 2.5" ??... if u were to put the 3" springs, would i be OK with the rancho shocks??...i mean ..it's only 0.5" more right??

it only does it in first gear when i floor it...i figured today that it is the mounts so i'm going to replace the engine mounts and tranny mounts...and if that isn't the problem then....i have new mounts n e ways then i'll go from there.... but i am now thinking it's the mounts.... i'll be working on this on saturday....we'll see what happens...

i'm guessing at least 100K on this clutch and i believe that seal has been replaced before and i do not have any oil leaks that i can see and it does not drip when parked and no oil is burning....just a few good signs the slippage and bouncyness only happens in first gear...i can shift to second and floor it and it takes off just fine....

no i havn't tried that but how would oil get onto my clutch to make it do that??.. this sounds bad... very bad...this is the third clutch in this pathy my mom used to drive it and now for the last 2 years i have been driving/ going on adventures with it... it has 338,000 miles on it...i love this thing and i would HATE to get rid of it...

ok well it seems like when i start off quick in first gear it seems like it starts to slip then the entire pathy starts to bounce as if i forgot how to drive stick....lol.. so yeah i'm thinking my clutch also becuase i have to push it all the way to the floor to shift.... but thnx i'll take a look around... has anyone used a centerforce clutch here before? and do you like it?

My clutch i going out and and i am going to replace it this weekend but i was wondering what you recomend.. should i replace with a OEM clutch or go aftermarket? i want a better clutch. the calmini ones sounded like a good idea just a little pricey like always.. but i don't know it it's worth the extra $$ thnx

ok thnx, i'll crawl under there today and take a look. i'll post what i find

this was maybe overed somehwere else but i could not find anything. when starting out quick in first gear my stick jerks to the right... any ideas?? i was thinking my tranny mounts maybe broken or something.. could the whole tranny be moving?? thnx

i left the front sway bar on the took the rear off... it was noticable difference but i got used to it pretty quick. impressed with how much easier it flexes off road though.. i went up to lytle creek and had some fun up there just the other day.

weld in a front cross member.... that just made things that much more fun....but thnx for the info. i'm most likely going to be getting another pahty and swaping parts... so have u already done the conversion or are you in the process?

yeah i just got BFG all terrains a few weeks ago. i think that will work out just fine

so they are the same...YES!! ok headers are the next thing i think i'm going to wory about. the whole 4wd conversion will have to wait till after winter, it's creeping up to fast....pathy can't be out of commision for any part of the winter... snowboarding is way too important...lol

where does the exhaust come down from the left side?

yes thanx, if u could post a pic that would be great.

i want to get thorley headers soon but i saw they only offer it for tehe 4WD pathys...is the exhaust routed different on the 2WD models? thnx

well i wantedto get the headers in before winter because i snowboard alot. i probably won't be able to start tearing my pahty appart for the 4WD untill after the winter but i want to solve the leaking manifold as soon as possible. but if someone can please post pics it would help alot.

right now i have the rear drive shaft that has the bearing in it.. when i put the transfercase and new rear driveshaft in.. will it hit the bracket that holds the center support bearing of the old drive shaft?? it is a huge cross member that connets to both sides of the frame with the bearing in the middle. does the other rear tailcasing of the tranny and the trasfercase make it that much longer that i can leave the bearing support bar in or will i have to take it out? it's welded in so if i have to take it out is will be lots of fun... also if someone can post a pic of thier rear driveshaft and tranny that would be greatly appreciated.. i'm also wonderig if the exhaust is routed differently onthe 4WD models. i want to get thorley headers but they are sayig they nly make them for the 4WD pathy so i'm trying to find the difference so if the exhaust is in a picture it would also be apreciated thnx

nothing yet...
