I had one before. Seemed to work pretty good. Weld the damn tubes to the housing! Install was a breeze, just measure twice and weld once! And snag the flange for the pinion to adapt it to the 1310 joint. You can also get those out of ford vans and trucks with either the 7.5 or 8.8 if your's doesn't come with one. Oh, and the ranger 8.8 is crap. But yeah, the weak point is the stock carrier. I think a detroit truetrac would work good for your application. However, I'd probably pick up one with disk brakes and 4.10s and a LSD and run it and see what happens. The local boys around here have been running serious horsepower through their's with little issue.

Nope.

Glad to see you made it over :cheers:

So, when you going to chop the top?

Doing some resto business?

Yeah, that's a K5. Everyone seems to think it's a jeep... His brakes failed. I think they walked away though.

Snow can be a bish! Especially when the solid ground below it is 20' down. Thus they run tires with a non-aggressive tread, massive width (and height) and very little air pressure. Those guys will run 6psi WITHOUT beadlocks, and about 1psi with. They do similar here in the winter. As in true snow wheeling (42" tires or bigger required). It becomes a pretty crazy battle between keeping the rig light enough, having it stay together, and choosing a tire that doesn't just dig you to the ground, but still allows some traction. Anyways, Iceland is pretty sweet.

That was definatly a cheap shot. Seeing as how I think there's a package to get the H2 with 20's on it off the lot.

The guy who made that (DennisAJC) is from Van. He's over on bc4x4 a bit, I think. Anyways, I respect him a million times more than 99.9% of hummer owners in that at least he takes 'er out.

Dude, I gave away a set of those to a buddy who took them in as scrap metal... And I'd suggest a real bumper over tow hooks. Image Not Found $60 in steel goes a long ways.

Okay, on that 4.0 swap did you have to cut any of the firewall? (Looks good)

What a tool. :roll: Not all of the :Canadaflag: are like that.

There's a version of the H1 (Alpha) that comes with the 6.6L stock. They're still slow because of their weight. Anyways, the H1 scores about 300 on a RTI ramp. Not exactly the stuff legends are made of... What's a stock Jeep score? You tell me... Mostly they're over-hyped BS because they did have a pretty revolutionary suspension. That doesn't mean it WORKS.

It's not really much of a savings to just get a passenger side flat top. That's the one that will cost me the $. Machine work is NOT cheap around here. If I run the coils I could just flip the Tie Rod, and with the DP arm it'd probably be alright. Hmm.

That was pretty painful to watch... Looked like I could do it in my XJ. And my XJ has $300 in it (which is basically for the tires).

If you've got the donor rig it's pretty much swap over all of the parts that are different. You might run into issues with the gear ratio. And you will need to get the rear D/S shortened.

Thanks, but I don't need 'em. Pick'n'pull has a truck, unless it's been pirated or crushed. :cheers:

Your other account has spaces in it. (The name)

I can't use ford knuckles because the spindle bolt pattern is wrong, and thus my brakes won't fot or anything else.

Sounds like it's not shifting into 4th.

I guess I can say I had a lowered 2wd. Lowered because the coils shattered. Too bad I parted it out. With some spray paint and a LOT of work it could have been almost decent.

Autos came with 4.10s, me thinks. And the ones that came with AW4s got 4.56.

My steering just isn't going to work unless I go highsteer... This is for the Ford D44 - with waggy outers. So, what ya think? I can get a set of flat-top chevy knuckles out of the boneyard. Then I need arms. Recomendations? And I need to get the knuckles machined (might be pricey). Although, do I have to get the driver's side machined? It is already flat. Flat enough? Or should it be honed down?

Stock or auto? They're out there.

You can swap the input bearing and $#!& out of a new tcase into an old one... Change it from 21 to 23 spline. Somewhere you can buy the part. I think the pilot bearing needs to be changed too. Dunno.
