My $300 comanche offroad project

Lol.. I remeber doing that, no return !

Yeah. Isnt that an eary feeling. You know that what your doing can't be undone hahah

So I went ahead and fabbed up a new trackbar bracket and shortened my stock one and sleeved it with 1" pipe. I had intentions of making one with greasable hyme joints but since this is a budget build and I'm figuring on tearing these up and swapping in some different axles later, it should do.

 

 

Just another picture. Seeing what kind of flex I could get sitting in the garage tonight!

 

 

On another thought. Who has any ideas for steering for me? I'm not going to be able to make this work well even with a drop pitman arm. Someone chime in haha

Well, you already have an OTA TB, need to go to some sort of high steer. Not sure how well that will work in comparison to your TB setup with the stock Turdy and knuckles. A D44/60 with high steer knuckles would work great. 

If you are going to run the Turdy for meow, I would suggest doing some sort of OTK steering, and maybe drop your axle side TB mount down a little to match the drag link angle.

Do you think I will have to be super concerned about my tracbar and steering bar angles? Its just an offroad mud ad rock buggy. So if it has a few poor handling characteristics it won't upset me.

 

I've seen a few xj's that the angles didnt match up and they said that they didnt have any problems.

 

What are my options for doing an OTK steering setup. I really hate to spend the money on a kit. I'd rather build somethig.
