Fixed some of the img tags. Willy

OK, I think I got confused somewhere along the line. For some reason I thought you were going to run a double cardan shaft to the axle. I was going to suggest a non-double cardan shaft, but you are already doing that. :dunce: I'm still not sure why you couldn't have a little bit of an angle on the short shaft if it is only going to be turning at low speeds.

I am guessing a big part of your problems are related to your suspension design. From these pics it looks like your upper arms are close to half the length of your lower arms. This is going to greatly rotate your pinion down as the suspension droops which will probably result in binding pretty quickly. I think you are going to need to redesign your suspension, lengthen your upper arms, and move there body side mounting points further back. Willy

Maybe close in the hole in the top and weld up every seam? I'm about to use a similar bracket to move the track bar over the axle and was considering doing this. Willy

Are you running drive flanges on your D44? Willy Nope. The front end is not spinning on the street. Keep in mind I have about 7.5-8" of lift too so the 'drop' is pretty significant. My TC is clocked so flat we rebuilt the floor to rotate it up so it wouldn't hang below the frame rails. When I mocked up the setup like yours, the CV was maxxed out when the MJ was sitting flat. If I flexed at all it would have exploded. Do you do much high speed wheeling? I'm just trying to understand why the short shaft couldn't be angled down a little bit. I know it would lead to vibrations, but if the shaft is only turning during low speed wheeling maybe it isn't something to be concerned about. :hmm: Is a non-double cardan shaft an option for you? Willy

Maybe you should hire Darren as your photographer. I bet he would work for beer. Willy

Fish plates usually have more of a fish shape. :yes: Something like this - <>. It helps to spread the vertical load. Are these cell phone pics? Willy

High or low pinion D60? Do you NEED a double cardan driveshaft? I think Cornays offer more angle than a regular Spicer style double cardan joint. Willy

A few more pics of the gauge pod. Willy

Apparently we did something to make it mad. :dunno: The past couple of weeks I noticed that the tires were making a lot more road noise than usual. Turns out the toe was out a 1/2". :shake: I thought it was interesting that the drag link decided to bend at the threads for the adjusting collar. I would have thought it would have been more likely at the bends where the steering stabilizer or tie rod mount. :hmm: Willy

You are not alone. :thumbsup: Willy

I'd be interested in the CJ-10. :yes: Willy

low ratio carrier???????????
reson46 replied to 88mjmanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Compared to setting up gears, carriers are cheap. You already need a carrier for the D30. Why spend all that money on something that you may not be happy with in the end? Willy -
I'll try to get some more pics tonight. The fitment is actually pretty good. It really follows the contours of the A pillar trim. Willy

Yes, it is intentionally hard, but not the toughest obstacle at Walker Valley. Willy

Here's one with the flash on. What else are you interested in seeing? I can take some more pics. Willy
-
X2 I'd also like to see what type of brackets you had to come up with to get those in there. :thumbsup: Willy

Pretty gauges....... :drool: The stock temperature gauge occasionally decides to work...and when it does it is far from accurate. I used a HO thermostat housing for the AutoMeter sensor and picked up an AutoMeter A pillar gauge pod. Now I know what the engine temperature is without popping the hood and checking with a laser thermometer. :roll: I added two sensors for the transmission temperature - one before the coolers and one after. The toggle next to the gauge switches between the two. Willy

If you are serious you are a moron. Please do not abandon it in the desert. I hate looking at and cleaning up trash left by idiots. :fs1: Willy

Are you going to build a new bumper for it or modify your current one? Willy

How did you attach the rock sliders under the bed? Willy

Are you planning on adding a fish plate over that butt weld? Willy
-
Good to know. I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought. :dunce: Willy

Cool! How did it look when you dropped the pan? Was there much debris in the filter? Willy
