RE: gas prices Not being casutic or such, but I differ with you strongly on that part of your quote above. I've ran about every locker out there over the years and many of them either wore out or failed. I broke Detroits all the time so when the ARB was available here in the US about 1990...

RE: gas prices What you witnessed is two very amazing rigs---yours and his. The difference was simply lockable lockers like an ARB or an OX or others now on the market. If you'll type in ARBs or OX or the like in a search, you'll get all te informatiom about how they work, what they do, and...

OBA question Welcome to the Jeep board. You'll find this place, as I have, to be not only fun and helpful but these are serious folks and everyone shares freely without attacks or being jerks. Very good place. Hope you stay and hope the Jeep hunt goesd well and fast for you.

Re: RE: Back to a AMC 20 from a Dana 60.......... You got it. I agree with Sully again, in that 1 ton drivelines are far heavier than anything after market has to offer for our Jeeps and much cheaper too. I've had mine now for 14 years and no errors and only one U-joint failure in that time...

Thanks for the input from both of you and I copied the measurements on the rearends for my reference. Thank you. I had already trussed and welded up the tubes on this 20 back in 1999 when I got my second set of ARBs for VEX and went with the 4.10s. The photo I have is not s clear as the CAD...

I have had a 60 here at the place for a year or so and now was experimenting with it and measuring it against my trussed and welded tube 20 with the new Yukon axles and ARBs and lo, the 20's ring and pinion are bigger than the 60. I am amazed. This is news to me, totally. Doing further...

Hoobness, Please note what Sully stated, "Without a CV joint, do not point the diff at the T-case". and he qualifies that with the fact you would need a CV joint and probably the SYE to do so. This is correct. If you go the whole distance with the SYE and the CV joints in custom DL, that...

First, everyone's response here is correct and I forgot to mention that on the YJs, yes, a SYE would probably be in order along with the suggested mods. your explanation is accurate in statement but is in error in application. It is easier to and the CV jointsin the shafts front and rear at...

Re: Side visors for YJ? On VEX and the CJ-7 just before it, I had these problems with my lift installed and refused to accept it. So, I did two things: I made my own 4 degree steel shims after seeing all the shims available were aluminium, which I knew over time would crush themselves into...

Re: 4 barrel manifold and 4 barrel carb Hi Saprky, What I did in my CJ-7, fr Marina, my girlfriend, and I did this for my wife before I was widowed, was to go to a junk yard and snoop around some of the rigs available and match color as well as getting a regular automotive pair of visors...

Who Makes a Front End? I love my 258 and have been running one since 1972 when AMC took over from Kaiser, save for two Jeeps that had V-8s, 304. For VEX I wanted more umph in everything. I went with the 4 barrel, 390 Holley with the anti-slosh-off road kit installed and headers and Clifford...

Whoa!, at least in my case the pavement was just wet and dry with snow and rain falling. It was a smooth operation and quite a rush too, which I seem to enjoy in a perverse sort of way. Oh well, it worked out good in the end. In your situation, things like that can slip by since we tend to...

Will anyone from here who is the western WA area be going to the Memorial day run in the Naches, or Evans Creek over that holiday? Would love to hear from you as my girlfriend who's in Gig Harbor and I wish to go and from the other invites by Jeepers I met over there in the Seattle basin, it...

RE: Don Thank all you so far your comments. Yes, the axle were Superior solids, no two piece OEM, but they had put the Napa cheeesy bearings on and that was what caused th cascade failure. About the Revolvers, I've only had them for the last 6 weeks but only been testing nearly every couple...

RE: Who A really bad moment. Pucker factor; 10. But it was a real rush too, which I love this sort of thing in my perverse tragic way......... Read how it happened and the full report on those deadly Revolver Shackles (Horsesh*t!!!), here: http://behold-the-rage.com/jeep_page14.html Robert

Re: shipping a jeep, couldn't find old posts about this. DO NOT USE; Tow straps-(vehicle killers) High Lift Jacks (man killers) Bungie Chords (eye killers--I almost lost my left one....) Use chain, since chain does not store energy. Why? The link space takes up the stress when the chain...

RE: Re: Help my buddy win the Miss USA pageant! Yes, I shipped VEX acros the US to the east coast to MD from Montana. NASA shipped me and it to north Africa since I insisted if they wanted me to go, VEX went to. They arranged for shipping across the US also. From there we were freightered...

Re: RE: "Best use of Rollcage" Winner... Well, thank you so much. I love others appreciation of VEX as I love others' Jeeps when I see thm herein at the forums or on the road. Thank you again. However, we need to do the Hammers with that CAT 518---killer off road machines, I loved...

CAT 518 and Jeeps, 40 years ago........... Bad day on I-90......... Read about it here: http://behold-the-rage.com/jeep_page14.html Robert

RE: MPG & Odometer with bigger tires I cut my teeth on these rigs from the time I was about 14 till 24 or so, when I would log here in western Montana and then cowboy in the summer. Good money and great 4 wheelin'. In this photo I was 21. I'm almost 53 now. These rigs had a foot engaging...
