stock bump stops,
if there is a manufacture that claims
they have a track bar that will work,
I'll never believe it unless one gets
sent to me to install and inspect... I
actually check this stuff with a
centered axle at ride height and the
springs out, not a fork lift flex
test... of course it won't hit that way.
I don't need one BTW, but I could sell a
ton of em if there's one out there that
works and is strong enough. I'm willing
to do the work to get it right..... are
you?

| Jvader 10/23/2009 4:11 AM Desiels huh thats crazy, building
your own track bars, that sounds
cool any go on those coil overs
you were talking about building
for your rubi?? |
|
| | Jvader 10/21/2009 5:26 PM Whats up man, Hows work been
going, any new cool projects? |
|
| | Jvader 10/04/2009 2:21 AM awsome I want to research that a
little bit,......sounds good! Let
me know |
|
| | Jvader 10/04/2009 12:32 AM Thats sounds great I saw the pics
wouldnt mind doing that to mine
some time in the future.... that
be pretty great, what was the name
of supercharger? Also let me know
when your schedule breaks free, to
hopefully hack up my jeep
sometime... |
|
| | Jvader 10/01/2009 2:49 PM That is awesome, ya get smoked by
a Lifted rubicon, with offroad
tires... that would probably make
me sell my mustang..how are the
axles and gears going to hold up
with the extra torque and hp? |
|
| | Jvader 10/01/2009 2:26 PM oh now thats sounds like no fun, I
hate putting stuff together and
then having to re take it apart...
I saw that post on that
supercharger you put on a rubicon,
did you get to drive that?? That
looked like it was a fun project.
Im also getting pretty antsy to do
this highline, another two weeks
and Im going to order my shocks.. |
|
| | Jvader 10/01/2009 4:45 AM Hey man hows Robs been doing, I
got about 250 miles on the diff
and all seems to be great, was
just checking in, showing my
friends pics of your highline jobs
and they think its pretty awsome..
|
|
| | Jvader 09/22/2009 11:19 PM Let me know a sunday your
available, if your still down to
highline my jeep that is, I just
really want the flex you have.. i
wont have money for new shocks for
about three weeks so maybye the
highline is a good thing to get
out of the way.. |
|
| | Jvader 09/22/2009 9:35 PM Ahh yes makes sense, so mabye DIY
first then... Mmmm |
|
| | Jvader 09/22/2009 8:51 PM Sundays work for me, I will be out
of town this sunday but what your
schedule look like for the
following sunday? What do you
think i should tackle first, Shock
relocation? Rubi Arms? or DIY
Highline? Well It all goes for
when you have time to.. I think
shock relocation and correcting my
alignment in the front with those
adjustable control arms would be
pretty cool, it might ride better
and not be so clunky..? |
|
| | Jvader 09/22/2009 2:08 AM Ok so 12 in the front and 14 in
the rear, and then just relocate
the shocks, man I was was reading
those threads and looking more in
depth what you made out the Rancho
2.5 and its just got me itching to
do the same.. especially that i
can keep my 35s.. when do you
useally have spare time?? |
|
| | Jvader 09/21/2009 8:23 PM So I have been reading a lot of
your threads online you seem to be
some sorta DIY Highline, shock
upgrade, King, or something, Ive
got the itch, yet I know its for
use and not looks but Im still
want to make it look clean, I
don't like the bent fender thing
in the front, I guess just because
my arent abused yet, but I did
really like the DIY tube fender
one you did, do you have any more
pics of that? or pics of the
cutting instead of bending? anyway
this has all been on my mind and I
would like to do it before the sun
goes away and the mud comes in
cause I want to do some trails
this winter..and shocks Ive been
looking at shocks what length do I
need again front to back.. I think
I might want to get some decent
ones, and I have those Rubi front
arms,******that's a long list,
Shocks relocated, Rubi arms, and
DIY highline... man it would be
cool to flex like yours though and
I disconnected that front sway
bar, its seems nice, although with
new rear end I haven't hit the
freeway yet... well let me know
your thoughts and availability |
|
| | Jvader 09/16/2009 10:26 PM So I could just sell the 35s and
get 33s and it would have a lot
more travel, and still be geared
out ok? thats what i would like to
do mabye I will see if someone
will trade me on craigslist or
something? |
|
| | Jvader 09/13/2009 12:11 AM oh i was also going to ask you can
you run 33 s on 4.88s ? |
|
| | Jvader 09/13/2009 12:10 AM Ya I think the guy said it was 4
wheel parts that did both front
and rear.. |
