Glad it helps. Guess I should have also mentioned the combined rate is only in play until the lower spring hits the slider stop, then the spring rate goes purely to the bottom rate. So in a 200 over 300 lb spring set up, the combined rate is 120 until the spring hits the slide stop then the...

Nothing wrong with thick cut gears but I prefer a spool just because I've seen too many welded carriers explode.

What is that D60 worth in your area? If you can get some $$ out of it, maybe trade for it then sell to fund a 14B. Wierd, 14 bolts are a dime a dozen out here in the west (but good luck on a front D60!) I'd recommend converting to 35 spline and be done with it if you go the 60 route, then you...

Assume you are talking about mounting in the front? It's a fair bit of work so I wouldn't go through it unless you are going to mount a longer travel CO. I'm running 14" Fox 2.0 CO's. They do fine for my mostly crawling wheeling style and some light higher speed stuff, but if I was into more...

^This. Takes a bit to fully dry but tough stuff. That is what my cage and front axle are painted with. I did the inside of the front axle tubes with POR 15 to keep them from rusting and getting nasty.

Something doesn't seem right, mine bolted right up with no issues. A bit less close up pics would help, having a hard time seeing what's going on. Here's how mine looks:

Check out ezaccessory.com. I've used 3 or 4 sets of spacers from them over the years and never had a problem. Pricing is good and they are well built/machined. 1.5" is not a problem, I ran that size for a number of years with no issue. But makes sense to me to use the shortest adapter you...

I made a bracket to mount it right to the motor but I also don't have inner fenders. Clears the hood by about 3/4". Been running it this way for awhile now with no problems.

Yup, you had it backward. Blue is right, orange is left.

First you need to figure out how much travel your steering has and if you need to put a spacer in the ram. For example if you have an 8" ram and your steering throw is 7.5", you need to put an internal spacer of about 3/4" in. You want the ram travel slightly less so it stops before you hit...

Have a bunch of crap in my garage I don't need so hopefully someone does. I put prices on some stuff, the other stuff make me an offer (hint, I'm not out to make a lot of money on this stuff so I'm pretty open to whatever you want to offer!). Can pick up at my house (51st Ave/Happy Valley Rd)...

Thinking those coolers either are not getting enough airflow or they cannot dissipate the heat fast enough. I run this cooler (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-13760/overview/) mounted in the back of my rig, gets virtually no airflow other than the fan itself and keeps my temps at 180 or...

Last weekend at TM. 4 Rigs, 3 trails in 3 hours. Fast and furious, just how I like it! I'm posting this to motivate people to get out and wheel, wheeling season is upon us.... Awesome weather, I was actually kind of cold headed back to the trailer.

Unfortunately have a soccer tournament this weekend so no go for me. Have a blast!

I'm out. Unfortunately have to be across town by 10 am. Might go out there and play around tomorrow night.
