  1. Thanks. Watch for a better stance as I made a deal to swap out the 44 for a Ford 60 so looks like Ill be going back to 40s. :D
  2. Looks good. Like that way those turned out. Would have several less dents on my bed rails if had a set of those. Lol
  3. Lol I have same feeling when woman takes my rig. She loves the looks and whristles she gets when diving it with the doors off. Lol But by chance do you have a rough idea and weight of your rig, packed for trail that is.?
  4. Thanks guys! Truly a honor to be considered for Comanche of the month, but I would like to give a big thanks to everyone on CC as it is this site that I have learned the most and got most my inspiration from. So thanks again guys and gals. :D
  5. paying $3.67g for unleaded
  6. You can look through my build thread as did this a few times. Really simple once you gget to messing with it. Seems more complicted at first. But just get yourself a welders angle finder magnet one and couple jack stands and one stand to put under your yoke to hold in place once find good pinion angle. Then set perches on axle tube and set them level and to the proper width. Look up t&t ube install in writeups as well..
  7. Sweet cause I was just going to look into running a different lube in mine before installed the ax-15 so will get to walmart for same stuff. Thanks.
  8. Thanks man. :rock: Best to find a 44 with flat top knuckles, other wise you can pick some up typically for like $75 for a pair. But if do get an axle with flat top then you will have to have it machined to accept a hy steer arm which will allow drag link mounting. Now depending on setup u may or may not need a spacer between the arm and knuckle, but all that is a dependent on what configuration you end up working with. Now just keep in mind that you will be stepping into a new money bracket with a 44 vs 30, but people are here to remind you to make a plan of what you want to do, how big you want to go and to spend money wisely. No sense in wasting your money on something your going to replace soon after. Also less work involved.
  9. Talking center pin? U would flip it or cut bolt. Which was another nice thing is the placement on the ube allows you to move axle back or forward an 1". And the holes allow for a bigger center pin as well. Miss the 2 dr xjbronco, lol had a great time with it in Alabama.
  10. Have you looked into Trail Worthy Fab H1s?
  11. Good deal man, did a fine job.com and glad to see you kept it around as it must have been meant to. :D now on to tech questions perhaps you could enlighten me on those two wires as well be swaping in my ax-15 shortly and perhaps save me a simular headache shearching for it. Thanks man.
  12. Typically tracs bars are listed for up to 3" are stock height to 3". As you can install a 3 " lift and still use stock trac bar with no issues per a good trac bar yet that is.
  13. UBE for the win! If check out my build have a well detailed install of a set of 1.5" UBe and I loved them. And wishing I still had them on my rear 60 now. I have had 2 sets of ubolts stretch on me more due to pavement pounding with a welded rear. The UBE are stronger I think and the mount itself acts as a reinforecement against axle wrap and added plate allows to mount a bumpstop easy enough. And with grade 8 bolts holding it together service to the rear is quicker and easier. Also the added benefit of being able to add up to a 1.5" lift is awesome
  14. I ran up to 40's on my 4 corner leaf set up and around 7" of lift with ford 44/60 axles and 3.5" lift yj leafs in the front and stock MJ leafs in back with 1.5" lift shackles in the rear. I'm trimmed more then needed but not so much that I still cat run factory flairs. As long as you set up your bumpstops properly you can manage the tire size with minor trimming. Keep in mind the general rule that lower and wider is better for stability. So the taller you go the wider you should go as a general rule of thumb. Good luck with it
  15. Typically most people do a leaf spring setup in front when installing a 44 or 60, which is when the hysteer crossover setup comes in to handle the steering issues. Tell me why your doing this with a d30? Just to go 8"? Why you going that big to run what size tires? If that big assuming 36"+ and so you have a built 30 or plan to upgrade? But to get back to steering. Your steering issues you can get tera knuckle hysteer setup or reid racingt has a hysteer knuckle for the 30 as well. Also otr has a u style bracket for the stock knockle for crossoveer steering but not sure that be high enought to clear for the springs.
  16. Picked up new transplant for rig today can't wait to get it installed. :D
  17. 4.15 to 4.24 for unleaded around here and diesel. Is about 4.10 a gallon.
  18. So any more pics of MJs with 4link rears and specs? Looking to get started on mine soon and rounding up parts now.
  19. eager to remove the bed and add some tube and coils. :)

  20. eager to remove the bed and add some tube and coils. :)

  21. My buddy ran them same solid rims. His were polished yet but I like the look on yours vs them other ones. Nevermind Wade he's drawn to shiney things. ;)
  22. Getting ready to 4 link the rear. Be pulling the bed and chopping frame. Setting wheelbase at about 115" and thinking utilizing coils vs air shocks for now per the low budget build ups and always upgrade later so be easier to dial in now.
  23. Do it up man. Lived the dream, now on to living another with the kiddos. :D
