offroader461 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 finished the steering upgrade befoire: after: Overall i did notice a loss of steering from lock to lock but the overall driveability compared to what it was is night and day.
dasbulliwagen Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Used it today to haul 1000 lbs of scrap brake rotors and wheels to the scrap yard.... $116.00! 13.5 cents lb for clean scrap.... I still have a full 4x8 trailer stacked with dirty scrap to take in yet. I count this as my fringe benefits from work!

MiNi Beast Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 assuming this is the RK set up looking at the tie rod, so question, did it come with the knuckle bracket to allow the drag link to be set up in this design? :hmm:
comanche12 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 look pretty beefy ever time I see picture of beefy steering system which make me want do mine asap. Mine is horrible set up from PO :wall: :doh: at least tierods are done, drag link and track bar need to replace :thumbsup:
Dechion Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Today I updated my list for this Wednesdays trip to the Pick-n-Pull. Looking forward to going shopping.

SW86 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 ^^^ :eek: Rock Krawler sure likes to go all out thats for sure but better overkill then under
tbrand Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Re-bled the clutch, re-wired the radio, and rotated the tires. Also, new pads on the wife's car, plus flowers for her and lunch out. Productive day off, to be sure.
knever3 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Put insurance back on it to take a ride to the dump with the fiance. I am renovating a bathroom and bedroom so it's the work truck for now.

SW86 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 beat it up some more on the trail, used it as a platform to cut tree branches and found out how many inches of flex i have. i need some new stickers :(
Dechion Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Learned how to fix a torn off door hinge with the mopar kit.
tbunch Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I added a new comanche club sticker on the windshield, and then made it earn it's keep! Hauled in $155 worth of scrap aluminum. Also, look in the background of the picture!
tbunch Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Oh yes. It is about a 79ish half ton. Original brown paint.
vaquaro Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Installed a new wire-less Back-up camera (got it for X-Mas ) . Since I put on the Softopper , reversing was pretty much parking by brail but now its worry free . The unit has a infra-red feature so the screen image looks like daylight even when its pitch black at night :thumbsup: Also the signal booster picks up our local hiway cams placed at all the usual traffic jam areas :yes:

MJRemi Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I can't find the thread about putting our MJs to work so I'll post it here. Hauled 1 yard of crushed brick weighing 1800 lbs in the 4cyl 89. The final feat was up a steep driveway and then a 90 degree back up onto my upper driveway. Piece O' Cake!! Image Not Found Image Not Found
jeepsouth Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Burped air from cooling system,and looked at replacing the muffler back on the exhaust system. :clapping:
