    Dana 60 vs 60S

    If your going to convert the Dana 60 to SF why go to the trouble to run a Dana 60? Trussed Ford 9 would serve same purpose other than if you want 35 spline you are replacing most everything anyway. Solid makes FF Dana 60 5x5.5 hubs for $440 a pair not sure if they work in the rear or not...

    Pitman arm and tie rod making contact

    Can you swap to Dana44 outer knuckles and run high steer arms or arm (just do passenger side for drag link). I thought the c's were the same on a Dana 30 and Dana 44 like from GM or Wagoneer? This probably means different stub shafts as well. I am probably completely wrong because if it...

    Storage options for bed of scrambler

    When I had mine mounted that way, I used 3" muffler clamps with those long hex nuts you can get from Ace with another bolt i turned into a stud. I had cut down shock bushings on either side of jack frame with a wing nut hold it down. I have changed all that going to a full top so I doubt I...

    Dana 44. Please help!

    You should buy the HP Ford you found. You can use or sell everything from the Knuckle out or sell entire axle. D44 Ford knuckles allow you to install RCV shafts without having to take them apart, should you ever want to go that route. What width you trying to get to? I have a narrow track...

    hydraulic clutch conversion?

    The ball and socket can be eliminated to allow for flex, you just have to fab some stuff. Mine has been working for 5 yrs. This last time out though was the first time it bound up so I need to check things out. Pedal stayed down, only did it one time and was not in a great spot. I used the...

    Rear Cargo Tie Down Plate / Fridge Slide

    I have been wanting a fridge slide for a while after ditching coolers and going to an arb fridge. I was against putting any more holes in the bed of the Scrambler so I made an aluminum plate that ties into the rear seat mounting bolts, 1 roll bar bolt on each side, and two bolts up the side by...

    AMC 401 cam recommendation

    I put a lot of effort trying to find a good choice like OP is, still trying to figure it out so I can build a motor. I need instant off idle power for climbing rocks/ledges, but I also play in the sand and need it to wind out, still <5k, and hold power on the upper RPM as well. Since I too run...

    AMC 401 cam recommendation

    https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/amc-401-build-up-qs.245386/ I have read through that thread on pirate 4x4 at least 5 times in the past trying to make the same decision as you to build a 401. For Jeep or FSJ it is best info I have found. Because of it, I listed some of the Cams out of that...

    Reasons to buy a CJ8

    Long story I wont' go through, but my Scrambler was my daily driver Junior HS and 1 semester in College. 1996/97-99. Lived in a small town <4k people and college town was one of the larger ones in our state, couldn't tell you how many probably over 100k, but still had small town feel. Drove...

    'Mater - '77 Cherokee S 4-door

    I am not sure how your EFI system is setup. My Fitech's MAP sensor port in the thottle body will only read one side on a dual plane intake if the intake divider hasn't been milled down 1/4" or so, or you are running a spacer that will let it read both sides. Some people think that could cause...

    AMC401 or LS

    Don't have funding for either at the moment. I am leaning toward the 401 since I would have less things to change.

    On board air vs portable air.

    Here is how my York is rigged up. From compressor discharge it goes into coalescing filter, then manifold block. I thought I had a check valve before the filter, but it doesn't appear to have one unless it is in the fitting the hose goes over? I can't fully remember. I made a bracket to mount...

    On board air vs portable air.

    I can take pictures and post something sometime, may be a week or two. If it is the AMC mount then you can rotate it standing up with the same mount. I can't remember as I had the mount and everything off when I installed it. You may have to pull the mount off then take the compressor off the...

    On board air vs portable air.

    As noted check valve is needed before the coalescing filter. I want a cordless impact. My luck with cordless is the battery is typically dead and have to wait to charge. If going on a trip its a little different I would have them ready. I have wanted to get a powertank powershot CO2 as...

    On board air vs portable air.

    I am pretty happy with my York on my AMC V8. Mounts easier to come by for it. I don't know what motor you have. Why does compressor need rebuilt? If they worked somewhat before make sure has oil and run it. Manifold, viar pressure switch, pop-off, coalescing filter, suction filter, air...

    Wheels are 16.5" Trail Worthy Fab recentered H1 wheels with PVC inserts. I made front and rear bumpers. The pivot is a dana 44 spindle, stub shaft, and lock out. It has started to shack some going down road. I am not sure if the spindle is cracking or if the bearings need tightened, or my...
