mnkyboy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have the slip somewhere but it was a little over 600@ 30 which comes out too around 900 on a std 20 degree. I'm planning to change a few things so I'm hoping to get a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bruchal Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Found another after I aired down a bit but I'm still stuffing the tires into the fenders. Where did you find those roof rails? All ways wanted them for my old MJ but I never found any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They came with my canoe,they just clip onto the drip rails I think they would be easy to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I doubt that,I had a co worker with a grand sitting on long arms that couldn't flex as far as my MJ. My Grand flexed a little. Ramp pics before limiting straps...lol. Reality is past about 700-800 rti its all poser. You don't need much flex if your balanced right and can drive.

cody4359 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 its just my opnion but flex is far from the only thing you want. id rather have traction (locked) than a ton of flex, but I'm not a rock crawler. the mj is looking sweet, and I'm in love with the red wj :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a rig and could only do 1 mod....it would be lockers. I would take a stock MJ with stock suspension, 31's, cut to hell fenders, and lockers over a high quality lift, 33's or 35's, and open diffs anyday of the week. (and 31's and lunchbox lockers would cost less than the high end(long arm, no blocks in rear) and 33 to 35's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 2wd MJ, (cheap!) have added 2" front pucks, an XJ front end, and 31" muds. I am now saving money for big boy parts. Meanwhile I will have great fun wheeling it as is till it grows up!

mnkyboy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Mines actually done very well with open diffs,I should be doing lockers here soon though. I picked up a D44 yesterday,now I can do my 4.88s and lockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet... Have you had lockers before in a rig? I remember my first time with a locked rig, it was amazing the difference. It seems like point and shot, till you realize its time for tougher terrain. Were did you pick up the 44? I made an offer on the one on Portland craigs, but I think the guy thinks he has gold. It was a 44 with Grand disc conversion, open with 3. something gears and he wanted $600! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I had a locker in the rear of my old F-250 but I didn't take it off road much,my last F-150 had a factory limited slip with 31X10.5 MTs,it got around great. I bought the D44 from a NAXJA member/vendor out of Yakima,he was coming here to pick up some laser work so he dropped it off. I gave $250 for it,its 3.55/open.I also got some disc brake conversion brackets from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
