More progress can’t wait to get it off these Jack stands. Oddly enough my front axle ended up a 1/2inch over to driver side more than the first one I built but it fits I honestly could have made the first one work if I would’ve gave it a chance. I’m happy how their turning out
I guess this is what I wasn’t understanding the other day I didn’t realize why you got the behemoth because I could have sworn you already had a billet case but now it makes more sense
I got a red label with great tread and a hole in the sidewall I had the hole vulcanized it was fixed with glue tread previously. The tire shop didn’t wanna do it because they say it been ran flat and is trash. Said possibly I could put an inner tube in it but had no recommendations for tube...
Any chance anyone has the cover ring and the front pinion ring already in a cad file I could get? I’m wanting to build a new cover and it would save me a lot of time and metal🤦♂️
I’m waiting on a measurement from the builder but I think I’ll do 2 inches further to passenger on the new one and I’ll be using the seals it ones. Or maybe make my own
Took some measurements from my buddies 9 inch spidertrax setup and tried to apply that to the 14 bolt and it did not work out well. So to keep from buying 200$ worth of tuning I pressed the tubing out and reinstalled as a driver drop rear axle now both of my chunks will be driver side ish...
Here’s the first 14 bolt front axle I built for it using a 3.5 tube 14 bolt and machining the factory 3.75 f450 tubing down enough to press in then I built a truss and a front ram bar out of .188 for both. I ultimately decided not to use this axle and put it up for sale
I’ll be running 14bolts so im definitely limited. I like a little deeper crawl ratio than 5.38/3.8 affords (50-1) but a buddy of mine had a 5.43/4.3 (58-1)and he always hated it but I never got to drive it to see how I would actually like it
I had a conversation with my chassis builder he was against my idea of using lower transfercase gearing. He said lower axle gears make the chassis steer better with less stress on the chassis. I’m assuming torque steer or something of that nature. What are y’all’s thoughts? I’m a big fan of a...
Suggest against this with that particular rig because the rig doesn’t have a frame and you’ll have to make a trans cradle that doubles as rear suspension mounts. I’ve owned about 6 xjs and they’ll flex plenty but about the time you get them to work they tear themselves apart
The more I research the more it’s all over the board. What size tubing, what size joints and what thickness are you using on your driveshafts. What do you not recommend also if you want share that knowledge.
I plan to run 2.75x.250 wall 1480 stuff
Mainly because all the components I’ll use will...
I’ve seen that used before I’m trying to learn the controller side of the rear steer electronics I’ve got an idea to use an off the shelf sensor that’s low profile and comes on a lot of cars and is cheap that should be stocked at most auto parts stores. The only only downside I’m running into is...
Wish you’d tell women that😂😂I kid I kid it’s not bad but it’s a lot of work I don’t know if I’d go through the trouble again 13 bolt shave was a lot easier and cheaper and is only like 1/2 less
Turned out good no cracks whenever I weld cast I try to concentrate on getting into both metals. Unfortunately I’m unable to do that and make it look good so I usually just grind them down a little bit afterwards so it looks nice
We shaving everything around here😂😂🤦♂️
Pulled the 205 down it was absolute mess. Came from Mississippi was coated with a thick layer of tar and sand. Pressure washer wouldn’t touch it. The fluid looked about the consistency honey and was rusted badly. I tore it all down and soaked everything...
I shaved 1-15/16 according to what I had to mark off to get ready to do my new one. It’s so much easier to just do the the 13 bolt shave I cut the majority of mine off originally with a sawzall and went back with a grinder.
I found out it’s a steer angle sensor for a tractor but this search led me down a whole nother rabbit hole. Now I need an electrical engineer or someone proficient with Arduino boards. I’ve had an idea for a while to simplify rear steer return to center now I just gotta figure out the box to...
