so i went out last weekend and found some things i need to improve on, like a traction bar. i tore my rear housing under the spring perch and also bent my left rear spring into an "s". any ideas on a traction bar?

Trail gear has one. Not sure if you like trail gear...

so thurs. i met up with odie and picked up my new housing. also order a blue torch diff armour

. today i cleaned up the rear housing and prepped it for the diff armour and assembly. also reinforced the spring perchs so hopefully they wont tear anymore. i also started my front bumper last week and have the winch mounted. found a few other things that needed to be fixed like the adaptor plates for the carburator were loose and trying to lean the motor out:eeek: . that solved the idle issues:awesomework: . nut and bolted the whole truck to make sure nothing was loose. cant wait for rimrock 4th of july weekend

. im goin out with a bunch of built jeeps so hopefully my recycled beer cans will hold together.:redneck:

lookin good man

man, how long did it take for those all pro alloys to get to you? have you figured out your trac bar? i built one for my yota and it fukin works tits:awesomework: it was fairly inexpensive and easy to build. doesn't effect articulation what so ever. i don't get any axle wrap and it didn't take long to fab it up:beer:

what did you do for a trac bar. do you have a pic of this setup you did? i was thinkin bout using a ajustable turn buckle from a tractor three point hitch, its a little :redneck: but it should work... i hope. i got my axles from marlin and got them in three days. usa alloys are what i got. maybe its the same thing as all pros.:redneck:

so today i went to reiter and had a blast untill gravitty decided to take control. **** went down hill from there. put it on its lid and did a bit of damage. nothing to bad but both doors wont shut, the roof is custom molded around the cage, popped the windshield out, caved my hood in, bent the lid to my tool box, pasenger side a-pillar has some good rock rash... but both me and my girlfriend are ok which is all that really matters. had a blast up untill that happened.

i hate stumps...

dove'd85 · Jun 17, 2008

oh **** man that sucks. some one should start an album for all the rigs that flop on that stump:haha: , as far as a trac bar goes. i just bent up some 1 3/4 .120 DOM. two mounts on the axle and i have a shackle on my frame. it works killer:awesomework: i don't really have any pics or a camera right now, but i am always wheelin up at reiter so im sure we will do some wheelin eventually and you can check out what i fab'd up:beer:
