Basket's Build

[Mike_H]

My wife still hates mine, something about it being hard to get into and always dirty - oh and it costs a lot of money. I don't get it.

It's like we have the same wife...

Wife, "why do you need bigger tires?".

Me, "mumble, mumble, better, mumble."

Her, "it's already too hard for me to get in."

Me, "you don't really ride in the Jeep anyway, so...."

Her, "why do you have to work on it so much? What else is broken?"

Me, "it needs this, that, out the other thing, and if I'm doing it, I might as well do 17 other things while I'm there. Besides I wouldn't want it to break down on you, if you ever take it with your girlfriends."

Me, "maybe I should sell it. The market is hot right now, and I could really build something special."

Her, "NO!"

At least it has a happy ending!

My wife would be all for it!

She's all for selling... The replacing and building something special part? Not so much!

Staying single is cheaper and easier. There are a few of us who tried it more than twice.

I'll stay single so I don't have to deal with the discussion of where money should be spent.

Or find one that wants your Jeep and is ok with you spending stupid money to build a replacement for yourself.

I knew you'd come in and brag in this conversation eventually fingers crossed

It seems like it lol. I have a detailed budget so maybe it'll be okay just gotta find one with any kind of hobby of her own hopefully. Or just get another dog, who knows

Anyone know what direction the currie rear TB is supposed to be mounted on the axle side? Zerk up/down? Figure the other side ends up wherever it ends up for the length you need

I don't think it matters

Well it's bent a certain way I think I saw Mr Blaine talk about how it's bent very specifically somewhere, and which way the zerk goes determines how the bends are oriented so I thought it might

its grease zerk down.

FWIW the TB bends up so it has more clearance when you stuff the axle while crawling on gnarly rocks.

Yeah the bends are important! That's why I wanna get it in right. And you made sure it didn't interfere at full stuff before I go ahead and copy you, right?

lol, Actually I had a little interference with the top lip of the gas tank skid it made me add about 1/2 inch of BS on the passenger side :/ I've heard of other ppl having this problem

BS as in backspacing on the tires?

But thank you that wouldn't be caused by the TB I think so appreciate you checking

Bumpstop

 

[lBasket]

Bumpstop

Oh okay. Cool I'll be checking that after. I think I have to... Center axle with TB, set LCA length, reset upper length, set bumpstops. Then I think I'm finally done!

Almost there!
