Basket's Build

I've only ever had one correctlync and that's on my jeep. Maybe the zj setup?

Hmmmm I don't think its the ZJ setup. Maybe you replaced the correctlync with the BMB mega uber tie rod and thats when I got this from you? Or maybe I'm just remembering completely wrong

Oh, probably that. I did forget I swapped the tie rod for Blaine's. Fwiw I got my correctlync used but it definitely wasn't a hollow tie rod.

I did remove from both knuckles. Maybe you could still do it if you got in there with a little die grinder. I was using a 4.5" angle grinder so it was in the way. I don't see why that is a big deal though, it is only 2 nuts to remove from the knuckles?

True. My old steering took a lot to get off so I’m worried it messing up the Currie but you’re right it shouldn’t be a big worry. How hard was welding the back inside without removing the spring? I plan on flux core welding it so I can take the tip off for more room.
 
Wait... stock drag link? @rasband when you sold me the correctlync was it just the tie rod portion? It was so long ago I don't really remember.

You bought his old Currie tie rod several years ago when we switched to the BMB tie rod.

Oh I removed the springs and shocks to do it. It was a pain to weld the back side even like that. A lot of contorting

Lost fuel pump + fuel sender signal Friday on a trail. Got towed back to camp… shitbox started right up and drove home the next day. It looks like my track bar mount smashed my fuel pump connector that comes out the front of the GTS, guessing some intermittent connection there. Going to have to splice in a new connector before sand hollow

Sounds similar to @macleanflood's issues on the Rubicon last year. It might be time we start armoring or relocating those wires.

Agree. This is now a pretty well known issue on the forum. My elevated track bar mount crushed my fuel line in Moab three years ago. So I think the fuel line, return line and electrical connection should be moved out of its way or bigger bump stop put in on the driver side. Best solution though is lose the track bar altogether and do a triangulated four link.😁

100% this. It's really interesting driving it before and after, especially wheeling. There's a bit more freedom in how it all moves if you're paying close attention.
 
I bought a Standard Motor Products connector for a bunch of money and then spent a month trying to find a cheaper version. Everything is still taped together under the Jeep and working fine. I broke both the chassis and fuel pump...male and female...sides...

I don't remember how many conductors off the top of my head...

Trevor, you need to step up your game if you're going to build that thing.

I just picked this off a 2004 TJ (Dana 44 with disc brakes). Completely stock and no accident damage.

You must not really be serious, except for maybe breakfast burritos.

Woah, why is that in the scrap yard!? It looks better than your jeep.
