He knew wht he was doing when he built that thing, it was built right. that's a damn good price for it. if i had the cash i'd jump on it.

From what little I knew of him through here, he was a really good man. It's a sad day to hear that he's passed. I'll miss him.

Just because it was an epic shot: The entire group (minus a few rigs) parked on the comp course for a group shot: Oh, and Erik Miller happened to be there with his KOH buggy filming a promotional shoot: Drive home was reasonably uneventful, aside from almost getting mashed into Jersey...

Watched some of the harder groups attempt Jotter's Way, Shoot the Moon and Crawl Daddy. Most pics here are from Shoot the Moon: My rig was having SERIOUS overheating problems now, so we trail-fixed my e-fan and limped back to camp. Once there, I swapped in a new fan clutch (mine was...

The local club I'm in (SiS Offroad) went to Rausch Creek for three days of wheeling, and with the intention of having participants bring supplies to make care packages for troops overseas. From my house to Rausch is 230-something miles- I figured I'd have to gas up at least once, but made it all...

Dave- At the moment I'm running a second ChryCo 8.25 that I picked up dirt cheap with an Aussie and Riddler diff cover, custom truss, and alloy shafts. If I end up going full-width down the road, I'm thinking D60's front and rear. If the ChryCo and D30 fail me, I'll work some magic and fit the...

Whether it's a full-size or not, from stud to stud it's the same width as a ChryCo.

I have to agree that it would be economically illogical to have two chassis for the same vehicle. To be fair though, You JK guys are now feeling what it's like to be without a proper SFA shoebox like us XJ guys :crazy:

Technically two days ago, but most recent one I have...

8.5 isn't a full size axle... the one in my K1500 is the same width as my XJ axle.

the 8.25's were in fact available with ABS. It depends on the options the vehicle came with from the factory. 27- and 29-spline 8.25's do not have different size axle tubes, the only differences between the two are the shafts and spider gears. 8.8's are the same way. You can easily convert an...

Update to Ford 8.8 swap: With 30's or smaller, the diff housing will hit every blade of grass you drive over. This is the weak point of the 8.8. A good solution would be to weld up some form of diff skid.

I'm going to slowly start posting D30 tech for all us HP guys. First one: Want to lock yourr D30 on the cheap? find someone who threw money away on a D35 (*coughcough*JERRY BRANSFORD*coughcough*) and take their LockRight or Aussie. D35 shafts are the same size and spline count as a D30 (scary...

large angle iron that wraps around the unibody rail, welded there.

I almost went to that, but I already had plans to go to Waterfest with some of my buddies =/

Sadly no, however I ended up finding broken JKS discos at the junkyard two weeks after doing it. The JKS ones work on the nearly identical principle, except they use a massive clevis pin with threads on one side that mounts in the stock spot. I'll snap a pic of those, they're currently not in my...

If Jeep didn't change the front axle all that much, it should be the same as on my XJ. I had something similar, but I used the stock bolt. I ground the threads off it and tapered the end, then ran a pin through that. Worked minty.

Is it a harder rubber compound? And does Daystar guarantee them?

Some good wooded rocky trails, nothing real serious except for one that a local guy who tried to build a KOH buggy a few years back cut and groomed to simulate a KOH-style rock garden. I tried getting partway through it, but said eff that.

Thanks! Tested them a few days ago by using them as a pivot point, worked great. scratched some gloss black paint off, but meh. They did what they're welded on to do.
