T'sall good, brother! I've created my own mess by taking on far more projects than I'll ever get done in a lifetime. I'll get to my rig eventually. Until then, I enjoy everyone else's build threads, such as this one right here!You know I love you!

Me too! Wildman is indeed a Wildman. I hope to meet up with him soon tooT'sall good, brother! I've created my own mess by taking on far more projects than I'll ever get done in a lifetime. I'll get to my rig eventually. Until then, I enjoy everyone else's build threads, such as this one right here!
Why Choose a Gapless® Top or Gapless® 2nd Ring?
A Gapless® top provides the greatest performance benefit (increased horsepower and crankcase vacuum). However, a Gapless® 2nd provides excellent oil control and blow-by prevention (less oil consumption).As such, we typically recommend a Gapless® top for naturally aspirated applications, especially V8 and straight engines.For flat (horizontally opposed) engines and turbo or surper-charged engines, we recommend a Gapless® 2nd.Most Total Seal® piston ring styles are available in Gapless® configurations.

Can you go into detail about what this pitman arm is suppose to accomplish and how? GR website doesn’t provide much information about this.Well not a lot has been happening over the past few days. Just needed to take a small break.
The fires on the west coast really have been messing with shipping. I ordered this part from GenRight on 9/12/20 and it FINALLY got here today. It was shipped out on 9/14 and originally was supposed to be here last Friday. Then Saturday and then yesterday. So FedEx just dropped it off today.

This is GenRight's twisted pitman arm. After messing around with my steering I decided I would try running heim joints instead of TRE's.
Mounted on the steering box I like how it looks. We'll have to see how well it works once I get the steering moked up again. I need to get some more PVC pipe since I cut the piece too short for the drag link.

In 100 years, everything else on that jeep will be gone but that pitman arm! Very nice piece!
If this is at ride height you will have definite bump steer. Why is your track bar not matching your drag link? You're making everything from scratch why not make it all match?
