MiNi Beast Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 November 12th- We had a nice all day run with some night wheeling this last weekend. Great time with some great people. Few breakages nothing major unless you count spinning my caliper bracket major, :) list to fix is rear leaves, brakes and driveshaft, along with the long put off bumpstops that need to get done. http://www.facebook....video_processed https://www.facebook...151161865014821 November 24th- had a good run yesterday. Thanks for the invite Kevin. :) I broke a axle joint and jacked up the ears on inner and outer shafts just before the mud hole trying to go different line. what I get for trying something different. :( Same hole, Guy here took on a log and broke the tierod. toe and hand warmer for the trail repairs.

MiNi Beast Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well both aal were broken on each side, so yanked them out added new pins and plan to run it set back an inch to help with driveshaft length as I'm installing new Driveshaft thats balanced and with a new joint. So bushings were shot on shackles as well so decided to go with lift shackles and kill two birds on stone. Plan is to add a traction bar later. So putting everything back together tomorrow and hope to take a test drive with the rock lights on. :) Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 All back together then we got snow. Winter begins. Better in the snow with 4wd. Riding sucks on the road, well known. But the heat works great even have to roll the window down. :D: Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Not sure yet, big plan was to pull bed and truggy the thing tube style. But more and more I be loving the look of it with the bed so it kinda depends on the wheeling I guess. Cause if goes truggy I going with 60f and 14r but no needd thus far for that as my 44 is doing great for me and my style. Just need hydro assit steering being welded front and back. Would like to go selectable looc ker and dd easier with 37s as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee_chief Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 i plan on bobbing around 15 inches off mine, welded sucks getting out and unlocking hubs to turn is ridiculous... I'm going with a arb and 4:88s keep the bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 About an 1" on the MJ About an 1.5" on an XJ MJ shackles used on a XJ give you about a 1" lift on the XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I need to figure out how to get about 1"-1 1/2" of lift in the rear. Already have 1" shackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Add a leaf from another simular pick up truck like a s10, s15, toyota, ranger. Etc. Longer the leaf the better the ride is the general idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 So perhaps s10 main spring, with the eyes cut off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
