92tanMJ Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I like the look of a wide stance but I like the look of a lot of things. In my mind its 25 cents vs 100-200 bucks.
jeepmarine312 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 would the washers also provide the wide stance, or just help with the full turn?
88whitemanche Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 Help with the full turn...wide stance would be the wheel spacers
92tanMJ Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 would the washers also provide the wide stance, or just help with the full turn? No, they won't add stance, they just stop move steering stops in a little. Which will stop all rubbing. Granted, you will "loose" a little turning radius. But you already lost it anyways when your tires hit the the LCAs. And plus you won't be able to notice the loss anyways. Â Help with the full turn...wide stance would be the wheel spacers Correct, and you run spacers you open up a whole 'nother can of worms.
92tanMJ Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 what you mean about the spacers zacK? Well some times (just like blocks) the spacers themselves break, sometimes the lugs break off, ball joins tend to go out a lot faster, but for every person with an issue theres someone who ran them fine without any issues.
jeepmarine312 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 yeah, its always like that, no matter what product, automotive or not, lol
mnkyboy Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Problem is cheap spacers, most of the guys with issues are running cheap non hub centric wheel spacers. Â If you want to run a wheel spacer go with something like the spidertrax spacers which are anodized to resist rotting like the cheap ones do and they are hub centric. Â If you don't know what hub centric is read this. http://tires.about.com/od/understanding_wheels/a/hub-centric-vs-lug-centric-wheels.htm
88whitemanche Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Well guys I did the steering stop washer adder and it worked out perfect! two washers on both sides and bam!!! No more rubbing. it did limit turning radius but it beats the hell out of messing up my tires and suspension
92tanMJ Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Well guys I did the steering stop washer adder and it worked out peirfect! two washers on both sides and bam!!! No more rubbing. it did limit turning radius but it eats the hell out of messing up my tires and suspension  Nice man! Did you have rubbing on both sides? Or did you stop both sides just because? I only have one side that rubs on my XJ and I was only planning on stopping that one side
88whitemanche Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah it was on the right side at first but never tried the left till I decided to do the steering stop. I turned the wheel to check the left side both sides rubbed a lot....so I added two washers just to be safe and so far no problems with rubbing
jeepmarine312 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 well thats great man, glad to hear it worked out for you :)
88whitemanche Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 Got an update guys....finally installed my skid plate on. now on the prowl to get a rear sliding glass. Here's the pics for the skid plate  Before    After Â
92tanMJ Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Ive just gotten lucky with the skids I guess..But I am also looking for a slider. I think you can get them online for like 150 new
88whitemanche Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 Yeah I saw the link on my post in the my wanted post....but called a shop in miami and they had the rear sliding window in stock! 200$ with install wish I could've gotten the three peice but the four would do. So now fresh air from the rear and its been getting super hot and humid in miami.  Before   After Â
88whitemanche Posted June 2, 2013 Author Posted June 2, 2013 Another update guys! I've been wanting to do this update since I got the sticker but was waiting for a rear sliding glass! Enjoy! Â
jeepmarine312 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 good job man, happy you got the rear slide glass you wanted.
88whitemanche Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks man! Greatly Appreciate it. Hope your having fun with yours.
jeepmarine312 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I'm trying, but I'm talking to a guy now about his cherokee with a 6inch lift. trying to talk to him about trading for my thunderbird. if he says yes then ill rip the lift and all the parts i need out and exchange them with the parts on my MJ and sell the cherokee haha
88whitemanche Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Sounds like sweet deal! If it falls through. Hopes it does...
jeepmarine312 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 he doesnt wanna trade for the tbird. sucks... :(
88whitemanche Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 I'm sorry to hear that bud. You'll get another deal to come through  *update* Ended up picking up a new steering wheel, a cherokee sound bar, and a cherokee visor. Was always wondering what was the issue with fitment with the Comanches and Cherokees and there's a huge difference in fitment...ill either try to sell it or keep it for a future cherokee project.  Steering wheel Before  After  And test fitment on the cherokee sound bar  Enjoy
jeepmarine312 Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 nice man, sound bar thing looks awesome, gonna suck a bit though, can't turn it up to loud or kill your ears lol, way close bud
88whitemanche Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Lol yeah it's pretty close plus I gota see how ima mount them with out killing my ears...plus I don't really have my music loud unless there's a song id love to hear... I've been riding so Long with out music for a few months that I've gotten used to the humble silence of cruising down the road with just me and my jeep.
