Another TJ on 37s thread

you ordered a supra instead of a C8 Z06?
really?
Yeah, the C8 is GM trash bro. Period, wanna look at data? Seriously. Right now, BONES just bought a new rail. 163" I wanna say,,,, going with 613 cubes and an 10-71 not an 8-71. WHY? Gonna do time on a smaller cube and break less shit. Gonna hit 4 boy, whatch
 
Still havent burned these brakes in. Gonna happen but Im so dam dis heartened on power. This is garbage and should not be viewed as anything such. Man, I wasted a shit ton in MY jeep that I bought brand new in 99. March I wanna say. Supra is gonna win it back for me. Thank you fellas. IM WITH WHITEY!

you bought a new supra instead of ordering a C8 z06, why are you talking big blocks with archaic blowers, when the new supra is a turbocharged bmw inline 6, and the C8 z06 is a flat-plane masterpiece small block making over 700hp in a rear-engine car?

People who want to make real big power on big blocks use turbos anyway. Not 70 year old blower technology that uses 400hp to *make* hp.

Update: doing power pulls, exhaust on helped, stock balancer moving forward. Elastromer ring gone. Anything out there better as Im putting a magnumpowers charger on this thing?
 
Dorman it is. Ill call JB to see whats what. Machine shop guy came by, we can solid weld and balance but to what frequency? We can nail it down to whatever frequency we want. Just seeing if anyone has played with this before.

So Ive blown up ant, well everbody. Alignment aint right. Feared that fom jump. Im visibly out on pass side front. I feeel, there was an offset ball joint from factory. So every alinment shop aint calibraited. Got a brand new @)K coming to a shop i Kenner. You phucs aint gonna phuc me. PERIOD! So, we have from a GREAT shoppppp, camber, my concern, Is 1.3 and a .8, So......... Upper spicers im removing to put in moog. Why? Upper is less weight than bottom. Soooooo,. im going back on the rack to see, a different one, yes we are alternating racks through the city of new orleans to see who in the phuc actually can gauge. Crazy???? Yeap. Im actually thinking of buying another alingment rack due to this. Anywzy. 1.3, .8 camber. I need an offset. Easy. Im blowing steam but this is tricky. I WANT NO WANDERING
 
3 racks so far and one tommorow night,. scheduleded monday / tuesay for another
thats just to find out camber offest so i can order. Who do you trust? Phuc .......homie.....I got out of rollcages and shit because I AAINT LIBAL
 
It dont. 1.3 and .8 camber. Yet at the pass side front tire is tilted. Had to be factory. Love this lil jeep jus aint gonna go for bs
 
These cats nowadays. here? Cant even square a vehicle. This is insane
You are a little out of spec, not much. The problem isn't camber though. The problem is you have screwed the steering axis inclination with too much lift. The axis is inclined to work at the stock height. As you raise the chassis higher and higher, the inclination starts to convert from toe in or out to camber.

The easy way to visualize that is to point the two ball joints straight front to back. Now as you attempt to set the toe angle, all you are doing is changing the camber in or out. The axle from the factory has generally in the neighborhood of slightly less than a half degree of cross caster which is part of why you are seeing the difference in "camber".

Near as I can tell, SPC makes the best adjustables. Or at least that is what I have derived from the fact that when the factory messed up a year's worth of axles, SPC is what they sent out for the TSB to solve the problem. If you insist on adjustables, try to split the total degree of change half on the top and half on the lower to keep the shaft more centered in the axle tube.

FIFY. While the engine is a beast, it is and will be plagued with issues. I've replaced two complete engines already for a top end noise that couldn't be diagnosed or repaired.
I've done a few cam and lifters on them. A couple transmissions, One for an oil consumption problem, numerous electrical problems.
They suck to work on. Most of the owners are self absorbed assholes that have no clue how to even drive the vehicle.
