mvusse Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddzz1 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 looks great. what did you set the pinion angle at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd44889 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd44889 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 BLHTAZ both output shafts are parallel to each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 BLHTAZboth 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
