    Jeep Breakin and Property Theft in Great Falls, MT

    Time to vent for about meth heads in Great Falls. My Jeep was in the parking lot of my buddies off-road shop last night. It seems that punks have nothing better to do than break into peoples vehicles and steal their s**t. A rock was thrown thru my front passenger window. They then decided to...

    Alcan Leaf Spring First Impressions

    I just installed some 5"(stock plus 200 lbs) leaf springs with rubber bushings that I ordered direct from Alcan. They are replacing some RE 4.5" that didn't give the height or flex that I wanted. One quirk is that I think the torque leaf eye makes some contact with the unibody, causing some...

    Bilstein 5125's Bottom Out - What to do?

    Here's the story, i'm running an 11" travel front shock on my D44. I run ACOS and have 5" of bumpstop on the bottom. My tire stuffs up just the way I want it, but my shocks bottom out just after the bumpstops start compressing. How bad is it to bottom out my shock during slow rock crawling...

    D44 Steering Tubing Spec

    I'm getting ready to buy some tubing for my steering setup and was thinking of running 1.5" .250 wall DOM. Unfortunatly I can't get that stuff locally, but I can get 1.25" .125 wall DOM. I know I can order from a place like Metal Depot, but I really need the tubing for this weekends project...

    RE1660 H.D. Track Bar Shortening / Tube Size

    I'm thinking that I will end up shortening my track bar for my D44 install, and thought of sleeving it internally to do so. Does anyone know the specification of the tube used in the Rubicon Express H.D. track bar. I was hopeing to know the spec before I cut it so that I can get steel before...

    D44 Front Upper Link Axle Bridge Re-Enforcement

    Worked on my front D44 swap on Friday. I didn't really care for how the Rubicon Express bridge used the bolt-on piece for the diff cover. I know lots of folks run it, but I wanted something different. I decided to give this method a shot. Do the experts think this will suffice? I will...

    Brake Drums for Ford 9" w/ 35 Spline Yukons

    I have a 9" axle out of a 1976 Ford F150. I went with 35 spline Yukons shafts and am having a brake drum issue. The center hole in the drum is smaller than the flange on the shaft so they will not fit. I was told that there are different drums that I could get with the larger center. For...

    Pitman TRE and Custom Steering Questions

    I will be needing a steering setup for my '76 Ford F150 D44 that is being installed this winter. After taking a quick measurement of the stock TRE at the pitman arm, it appears to be 7/8" 18 thread rod. Napa online says 22mm. What is this correct spec for this TRE? If it is 7/8", PSC sells a...

    Going up ~2" more - What rear springs?

    I am currently running Rubicon Express 3.5 rear leafs with the RE shackles. Following my trip to Moab I have realized I want to have a little bit more height and run 33" tires for the Fall Fling in October - I slammed my drop brackets/braces more times than I can remember. The Jeep rides...

    Is A Long Travel Front Drive Shaft Needed?

    I am running the DPG 5" lift, which includes the drop brackets, on my '99 Sport AW4 NP231. The front drive shaft is pulled out further at the slip than stock when on level ground, obviously. With the dramaticly increased flex of the lift kit, and with sway bars disconnected, what is the risk...

    Locker/Gear Planning Critique

    I have a '99 Sport with the DPG 5" lift running 32'" tires, with future intentions of running nothing bigger than 33's. I had tossed around the idea of replacing my axles with a D44/9" setup but have decided against it at this time. Maybe sometime in the distant future I will build a vehicle...
