There's always something new to do... Nice setup!Yeah thought about moving this one and re-titling it. Didn’t think I would be doing much more to the Jeep but I guess that was not the case.
It would be ideal to re-gear, but not worth the cost, assuming you're re-using what you already have.View attachment 285144
Picked up a slightly used Detroit to swap into the rear. Wondering if I should gear it lower, or stay with 4.88s.
It’s true. I was reading your thread about gears being back ordered. Just something to think over.It would be ideal to re-gear, but not worth the cost, assuming you're re-using what you already have.
Thanks, yes that’s Crawl Daddy and it was a mess. I ended up bending my exhaust when I got frustrated and bumped it to get over the obstacle.Jeep looks great. That last shot looks like Crawl Daddy. That trail is a mess when it's wet. Love the build. Question on your hydro assist. What kind of bracket do you have on the drag link?
Got it, thanks for the info. I have yet to hit up the Cove, but I need to get out there. Rausch and AOAA are awesome, but just so far away.Thanks, yes that’s Crawl Daddy and it was a mess. I ended up bending my exhaust when I got frustrated and bumped it to get over the obstacle.
For the hydro assist, I am using the Black Magic Brakes kit that @mrblaine designed with the modified PSC ram and associated drag link bracket. Love the kit for its ease of installation and Blane answered any questions I had during the install. I am using a factory tapped steering box and hoses from West Texas Off-road and a PSC combination transmission and power steering fluid coolers. I am also running the factory steering pump with Wepco fluid. It works well for me currently and don’t have any complaints.

I know the feeling. AOAA, Rauch, and The Cove are 3.5 to 4 hours away from me. Our club wheels the cove twice a year and it’s a great place to spend a weekend because you can camp there and they have decent facilities with showers. I wish we had parks closer and public lands to wheel on, just not the case for us here.Got it, thanks for the info. I have yet to hit up the Cove, but I need to get out there.

Looks like you may be a little on the light side of carrier pre load. I can’t imagine another way the shim could walk out without carrier movement. I don’t have a lot of experience with the TJ rubicon axles so hopefully some others will chime in. Nice Build!
