[leftlanetruckin]

redoing the clayton long arm

Damnit Mark beat me to it.

Very nice Jeep. How the JK axles workin for ya?

[leftlanetruckin]

Thanks fellas!
the JK axles are working great so far, not one issue. only down side is the lack of available second hand wheels! besides that, worth every penny IMO.
the clayton long arms are also working very well, after some fine tuning. problem is with my junk, everything is a one off. xj stuff wont bolt to the jk axles, jk stuff wont bolt to the xj "frame", etc etc etc.
still have a small clunk when turning, it is coming from the crossmember mount on the radius arm. may need to spring for a new joint there, or may get all new joints and be done with it.
i am trying to hold off on such things, as i have the klune going in this year at some point. when that goes in, all the crossmember etc will need to be reworked, as it will hit the front driveshaft as it is now. that or a carrier bearing front driveshaft........always something huh? see what i mean about all one off junk?:roll:

thanks
