we checked pretty much everything under the hood. the valve cover really was not very hot, maybe 130-140 degrees... the head was barely at 200, the block was closer to 160. the positive terminal of the battery was about 90, the negative about 80 -Tim

hell yeah dude, can't wait to see some progress. :cheers: edit: this is Oizarod115... apparently I'm in under my brothers name?

CW, nick and i do mostly everything on the rig, but for the reaming i dropped my rig off at 4x4 customs for the knuckles to be reamed. i doubt he took the knuckles off because he only charged me like $65, but i my gears and other stuff done there so he usually gives me good prices. the TREs are real tight and snug in the knuckles, even without the spacers they sit perfectly into the ream. adding the steel washer helped tighten it up a little bit, but I'm still not getting the feel i want. the stock system had great feel on 33s, but this knuckle to knuckle junk has been sucking. -Tim

CW: like my brother (Oizarod115) said, my poly spacer is squishing around like jello, is this just due to polyurethanes natural elasticity due to it being a polymer? the parts that you posted up look like two hardened steel washers and a spacer, what material is that spacer made out of? in your pics it actually looks like it is squished. this steering is really gettin on my nerves because my jeep is all over the place, and i want this system to last even tho i paid almost nothing for it (JCR fubared my bumper....offered to pay shipping back to the shop to fix the bumper, or a steerin upgrade...i took the latter) -Tim
