Arizona Rock Crawling Daily Driver

If you do it and mimic a parallel 4 link, then the caster change throughout the range of motion is consistent. Not as noticeable on typical steering but when you get into the higher performance stuff with a lot of crap stacked on the right side with close tolerances, it slows down the propensity for shit to crash into other shit.

I never thought of that but it makes sense. High end steering setups look pretty intimidating to me but at the rate I’m going I know I’ll end up messing with it one day.

It is much easier than it looks. I can walk you through it easily and your first one will not look much worse than what you see in the pics. It is just patience and lots of cycling trial and error and I know enough to slow down the trial and error.
 
Just picked up this 32rh with only 40k miles on it for my dad. Oil inside looked good. This is exciting for a few reasons. The first is obviously wheeling. A manual/231 combo just plain sucks to wheel out here. This is also going to make the Jeep street better because he currently has front driveshaft vibes at 70mph with 5.13 gears. We will gear down to 4.56 with the auto which should move his vibe onset more towards 80mph

Did you get everything you need for the conversion?
 
Congratulations!!!
Congrats on the new casa
Thanks guys!
Your dad looks like a bad-ass, Stark (I mean that in a good way).

Congrats on the new house.
He really is. Not a lot of dads like to do the same extreme hobbies as their kids! (Surfing, motocross, Jeeps)
NOw onto the most important projects, workbench, storage shelve / system and 220V outlet. Congrats!
I’ve got the first 2 already! Just need that 220. My wife wants an electric car for her new commute to work so the 220 will come very soon.

The rules around 220 by me are interesting if it's for an electric car. If you can, just say it's for a welder :D
 
Yeah, I got lucky that a buddy was willing to help me out with mine. My friends with Teslas are all jealous because IF they even get a call back they are getting quotes of $3500+ 😳😳🤯
I wired my 220 in. Then a couple days later I needed a new circuit breaker panel. The electrician said it wasn't anything I did, the 220 just found the weak link.

I did have an electrical engineer guide me through it before doing the install so I felt pretty confident.

Isn't there some super-charger available from Tesla which is more that a simple 220 circuit? Maybe that's what's being quoted? Granted - I have no actual idea.

At least in Colorado there's limits with how much of the peak power the charger can use. So there's a bunch of instrumentation required to support that requirement.
