Cool.. I'm going to check mine this weekend. Also ordered up a smaller pitman arm drop to get the drag-link and trac-bar more parallel.

I've had death wobble starting at 35mph for over a year. So voilent that if you don't stop immediatly you will wreck. Replaced all kind of stuff and still there. Just curious, where on the axles did you do your measurements to get the axles parallel? Just tube to tube?

Do you run thru the whole gas tank with the G2P first, or put it in the tank and head to the smog station?

Its time to smog my 1990 Renix again. Last time I barely passed the NO emissions so I might fail this time. Any tips on reducing NO? Last time results: 15mph, 1720rpm, NO=1005ppm (Fail limit is 1015) Almost failed !! 25mph, 1698rpm, NO=310ppm (Fail limit is 875) Thanks,

Thats how offroad shocks work.

I've had problems with a couple optima's if they sit for over a months time. Wasn't able to revive them. With that said I have a 5yr+ old yellow top optima in my daily driver and it works great even when moderatly cold (<20deg F) So in my opinion there a great battery except if you let them...

Derale dual fans (4000cfm total). Total pain in the ass to get them to fit and you will have to trim the platic fan shroud. They pull a lot of amps at start-up but cool it down quickly no matter what the outside temp is. Not sure if I would recommend them based on the headaches I encountered...

To get rid of the A/C compressor and move the alternator up, use a junkyard 4cyl commanche alt bracket/idler with slight modifications. Then measure the belt length and go to the parts store and get it. Easy and cheap to do. My set-up has the clutch fan eliminated also.

From Shock up: Shock - metal washer - rubber - (fender well) - rubber - metal washer - nut. The metal washers are the same diameter as the rubber bushings

Talked to Rusty today. Free replacment trac-bar on its way. He said there was a design change so it should be stronger.

I emailed Rustysoffroad this afternoon and he emailed me back already!! Told me to call tomorrow and talk to Rusty to get thing sorted out. Good holiday service.

About 3/4 inch as seen in the picture. Broke it crawling on rocks. Also resulted in a broken shock when the axle shifted sideways.

I broke off the adjustable threaded bushing on my Rusty's HD trac bar. Is this a common problem with this Rusty's Trac Bar? Im trying to decide if I should get another Rustys since the I aleady have the mount or get something else. '90XJ, 6.5" rustys lift, 35's

Even if it burns clean you might not pass the visual part of the inspection. I have to smog my '90 in the next couple weeks. It passed fine last time but since then I have put on a K&N filter with Rustys intake and rigged the EGR valve. To pass visual I will have to put back on the stock...
