Its not the cops yo have to worry about. its the LEO's up in the woods. serious. i drive mine around town no problem, go up in the woods and i get pulled over.

hahaha.. i have a few inches of play.. maybe i need a new box.

Ok, just to confirm for mr V6.. your buddies last post was dec 19th, but he ws blogging on the backpacker forum jan 4th. so obviously he did not want us to know.

AWE, it is true.. that sucks. I do wish him well.

typical V6. bla bla bla.. bull @!*% bull @!*%. I'm on here everyday as well.. and just thought he left. i've never heard of any bad things happenin to him either. and although i didn't care for the guy,i don't wish this on anybody and hope that he is doing as well as can be, IF he in fact is in this condition.

This is not 100% true. less recoil yes...................... BUT I wheel alot.. i mean ALOT. We pull winch cable every time out. I have NEVER seen a steel cable break on a vehicle winch (i have seen cable break though). I have seen multiple synthetic lines break, and no.. not from abrasion. if the line is dry, there is very little re-coil, if it is wet, there is much more recoil. and only 200 bucks for new synthetic line? where do you buy yours.. hell, i know the masterpull guy and i can't get a deal like that. I get new cable FREE. i just wait till somebody pulls their new calbe off the drum to replace it with synthetic, and they will GIVE it to you. Ill keep my old trusty cable, that looks like @!*% and will still suspend my entire vehicle. you can keep your sketchy synthetic line! Disclaimer : it is my understanding that they hold up well in dry environments, such as utah, or arizona.. the WET coast.. not so mcuh

gotcha!

yes i did.. look up farther. the sas has nothing to do with it not being street legal.

bite your tongue. There are only 3 jeeps i would ever own, and just for the "cool" factor. those would be CJ6 cj8 jeep camando. you can keep the rest. oh, and when i was done, the only jeep part left wold be the body.. i'd change the frames even

no, at least in or state. my rig is actually street legal, (registered, emision tested, insured) but the cops don't like the fact i have no mud flaps, fender flares, or front bumper.

I have about 6-7" suspension lift and 3" body lift. but thats not very accurate either. when i started my build i had 14" to the frame rails, i have 24 now I used to have 36's and just went to 38's. however, there is actually only 1.2" difference in diamter between the 36 x 12.5 x15 tsl's and the 38 x 12.5 x 15 tsl/sx's Here is a pic in the garage with 38s' as you can see, i really can't make it any lower.

soft 8's are crap. bend easily

pics of that rig have been around a long time, its a POS and still does not have any front drive shaft. because he'll never get one in it. I had to do a bit of a work around on my rig to get it all to work right (front ujoint angles) and i'm not even as tall as that. its a show truck.. maybe mud.. but from my standpoint.. worthless.

If you have ever had to fix @!*% on the trail.. you wouldn't be saying you want to break somthing. trail reparis of busted axles and suspension components just plain sucks.

I hope you mean belt, not chain. If you have a chain, i wanna know what engine it is. lol

Grind down the puller so it fits. this is what i've done.

ooooops.. missed that, I'll shut up now.

would help to know if your working on the front or the back. the back is super simple.

DOOOOOOD sucks, i'll be wheeling on the con. missed it last year. (cause i screwed up the dates)

no joke, hell these things start floating lifters at abut 6.5-7k.

here is the deal with wheel spacers. I have seen people run them with absolutely ZERO issues. then i've seen them come off on a regular basis. I just don't trust them. (they seam to hold u fine on toyotas, maybe its the 6 bolt pattern, and most failures i've seen are on a 5 bolt pattern)

take it to hte alignment place.

everybody complains about the expensive 880 bucks for a calmini lift. can you do it cheaper? i don't think so. new coils new torsion bars new ball joints new bushings, new shocks pan hard drop. ext ext. ya, if you ONLY get new arms and coils.. its gonna be cheaper.

problem is ther is more than 1. for example, my manual is for a 83-88 (If i remember correclty) so you'ld need another one, to cover the 89-93

have yo checked the tranny fluid?
