clarence Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I have been looking at the crossover steering conversions on the internet and was wondering if anybody was familiar with them. I need to upgrade my front steering b/c my current components are shot. Please post any helpful comments.
Motion Offroad Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 :D http://www.motionoffroad.com/suspension.html You won't find a cheaper/better/bolt-on setup anywhere!. :brows:
Oizarod115 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 that's a great kit considering it's bolt on... and would probly do the trick for ya if you feel like drilling/reaming the knuckles and pitman arm the JCR setup is a little beefier just cause it uses larger chevy 1-ton TRE's course then you have to get a reamer or pay someone to ream it. so its more $$
clarence Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks for the advice i am going to check that one out. I'm only running 31s now and my future plans don't seem to exceed 35s for at least the next 5 years.
clarence Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 what do yall think about the kit from rugged ridge. Its a bolt on kit and its a little bit more in my price range. You see I'm having to move in to my own house in a weeks and i only make about 250 a week. So I'm looking for the cheepest but still good thing out there. What do yall think?[/url]
Oizarod115 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 if you're lookin that cheap, go for stock ZJ steering at a JY or someone who's got it. its a bit beefier than XJ/MJ steering is and won't cost an arm and a leg.
lostissues Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 i have the rugged ridge on my truck, as for how well it works... i don't know, i havent really driven it after i put it on. as for ease of putting it on... well me and my brother in law did it, and it looks right. :roll: . i have to get some time to get it down to fix the ebrake and have it aligned before i can take it driving at all. hope you got at lease a little help from this post. you can check my build thread for some pics.
clarence Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 have the rugged ridge on my truck Did the rugged ridge kit come with all of the parts needed to install it? Does it seem to be pretty heavy duty?

Hey oizarod115 When you put the 97 block and head in your manche did everything bolt right up to the renix fi? I wanted to put a HO block and head in mine whenever i get an ax15
lostissues Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 have the rugged ridge on my truck Did the rugged ridge kit come with all of the parts needed to install it? Does it seem to be pretty heavy duty? it did have everything it needed, just no stearing stabalizer. there are some pics at the end of this page they are not the best but its something. http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopi ... c&start=30 it does seam like a nice kit, pretty beefy.
clarence Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 thanks for the input i like the pictures and the answers customer service at these places sucks so thanks a bunch i think I'm going to order it right now.
DirtyComanche Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 If you encounter crappy customer service... Go elsewhere. It's the only way it ever gets any better.
Pete M Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 If you encounter crappy customer service... Go elsewhere. It's the only way it ever gets any better. That's the hope at least. I stopped by a gas station yesterday and went in only to find a "restrooms are for employees only" sign. I actually stood patiently in the line at the counter just so I could say that I'm not buying $50 in diesel from them simply because they won't let my use the bathroom (not that the kid behind the counter cared in the least). (It's besides the point that I wasn't there to buy any fuel) :D
ejndssn Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 what was the cost for this upgrade it looks very eazy to do :brows: and better that stock also what was the pn for the one you have ordered. thanks

Hey oizarod115 When you put the 97 block and head in your manche did everything bolt right up to the renix fi? I wanted to put a HO block and head in mine whenever i get an ax15 yeah with some minor things like temp sensor (for the gauge) and stuff liek that, its the same motor though, honestly i wouldn't do it unless your motor needs a rebuild anyways. basically the same stuff, maybe liek 10 hp
clarence Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 what was the cost for this upgrade it looks very eazy to do :brows: and better that stock also what was the pn for the one you have ordered. thanks the rugged ridge kit is something close to $250 from quadratec. But i got mine brand new from an ebay store for $150 plus $17 shipping. So its not that expensive. I hate bad customer service also but you see i am broke i turn 18 next week and my dad said i have to move out so i might end up having to park my truck for several months as it is b/c jeeps are very high maintaince. And when i only make about $250 a week right now its kinda hard to buy all the best stuff or to buy stuff at all for that matter.

But my motor has had a very very rough 250000 miles on it. And i figure whenever the motor or ba10 goes out I'm going to look for a donor vehicle with a H.O. and an ax-15 and just switch out for the better.

clarence Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 so do you have to use the renix intake and throttle body?
