If gas were to cost what it did 5 years ago, there'd be no problem. You live about an hour 45 straight up 250 from me, but nowadays that'd be $35 in gas.

 

Good luck, though, and stay safe! :cheers:

soa is done just need to remount the shock mounts a little lower rear is 1.5to 2 inches higher than the front and i know i will get some picks of it and upload them

:cheers: Great job!!

 

I have got to get a welder. The last time I welded...mig & tig were not an option :eek: . Guess I will have a little learning to do when I get one.

looks great. what did you set the pinion angle at?

[bigd44889]

the guy that runs the 4x4 shop told me to set it up

draw an imaginary line thru trans output shaft and pinon and make them parell to each other

[BLHTAZ]

The rear pinion should be set at about 2 degrees low, not pointing directly at the ouput. It will raise up when you accelerate so it needs to be slightly lower to accomodate that.

when Pat and I SOA'd my MJ, we set the new perches parallel to the factory ones....that keeps the same pinion angle relative to the TC output.

 

Lookin' good bigD :cheers:

both output shafts are parallel to each other

OK...so you meant that you didn't "turn it up". I took it as you made the pinion parallel to the drive shaft and the pics kind of looked like that too. Sorry if I misunderstood, but just wanting to be sure. :cheers:
