YJ Build...just a little different.
- Thread starter rugger99
- Start date
Yes, I ended up with clearance issues in the front end. One of the mistakes I made during the build was the lack of taking good notes / making and updating a list of what needed to be done. Due to the start / stop/ start process of the build over a couple of years I missed a few things. Easiest way to fix it was to cut off the front of the frame again and re-do it while knocking out the list I made in an organized manner. I also forgot to measure / install bump stops in the rear...that has been fixed and fortunately it didn't require too much work. Frustrating ...yes, but I learned from my mistakes and ultimately that is how we get better and I can definitely say I learned from this and that was worth the extra effort.
Starting to mock up my steering and ram mount. Based on my research, I believe I have it correct but it's always good to reach out to people with more experience. I measured my furthest (5") and closet (4.5") steering measurements from the centerline of the axle. Add both and divide by 2 gave me 4.75" for the centerline of the ram from the centerline of my axle. I have the ram centered on the axle and my left and right steering links are within 3/16". With the knuckles straight, the steering links angle from the knuckle back to the ram clevis a probably 4 or 5 degrees. Like I said I feel I have it correct, but this is the first time I have done a DE ram so any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks good, double up on the gorrilla tape or it will never hold together.
lol...yeah, gonna triple up on the gorilla tape...want to make sure it's bomb proof
I was able to get the ram mount mocked up today, should have it welded in later in the week. Initially I ordered a TMR Customs mount but once it arrived I realized it was too big and way overkill for my axle. Made my own out of 1/4" plate. One piece is 6"x9" and will sit on top with the three ram mounts on it. The second piece is 9"x9" and has a 45* bend on the last three inches. This piece will form the bottom of the mount and also reinforce the top plate and give a little protection to the face of the ram. Two side pieces, also 1/4" thick, will fill the void and tie everything together.
