Two o rings is aftermarket

Yeah, mine is the older single o-ring

There are a few build threads to browse thru....welcome :)

depends :) I run a double slip on my front driveshaft....one between the output and pillow, the other between the pillow and diff. I did this because the pillow block isn't even close to in-line with the output, so "something" in that section has to slip as the u-joint moves in/out slightly as...

Gotta love those E coast rocks :) Glad the rig is working well!

Hmmm....I can't remember... LOL

Katemcy and Wolf Caves are just up the road ;)

One more time for those in the back IH8Overdrive - can't get these gears back to all the same soon enuf....anyways... Tire destruction continues....this is the front passenger tire... two layers of cords showing, still not down to the steel belts. Ran portions of Arrowhead, Side Chick...

Squish those seats in the press and you'll drop your butt down, add thigh support, and your back will appreciate it. I squished mine 3". https://www.rockcrawler.com/forum/threads/jhf-trail-chassis.3977/page-2#post-6946

Is it just me, are you oversteering a lot? That's looking like way more than 50 degrees.... Mine turns 45 degrees with a 3x9 ram and isn't nearly that sharp. A steering arm change and the 3x9 will steer 50. More than 50 = boom, and frankly anything more than 45 is a bind.

Pics of mine, straight and almost full lock. Reposition your ram.

LOL Yeah, still not seeing an advantage that makes the shifting headaches worth it. Getting too hot here shortly to wheel much, so I'll get a set of gears ordered up for the front and drop my overall ratio to 5.29 at some point this summer. Had the t-case (rear) kick out once this past...

Well, that took less than a minute...literally loaded onto the trailer and had to R-N-D-N-R the shifter to unbind the t-case...on the trailer. It still shifts FAR better than the MMW did overall, but the added bind issues are a given. As a friend put it yesterday, the only reason to do...

Ironman today in Hurricane/StG, so traffic around Sand Mountain is a disaster ...took me 90 minutes from fully assembled to this pic...next, clean up the housing, seal and soft-set the new 5.29 diff, assemble the balance, then torque and fill with lube tmrw (I like to let gasket maker sit...

Currently, 30 minutes to Sand Mountain....new home will be about 10 minutes :) And yes, I'll get out a few days a week.... #threehourtour There are a handful of others here with "flexible" schedules who can wheel a few times a week too, so that helps. And I bet there are a couple dozen portal...
