AdFab TOTM Ideas: post here

[BRIANHO13]

Do enough XJ types do doublers?

Aside from one guy with a Klune (kinda a 1.5'er ) I don't know anybody who doubles up.

I just put a 231 infront of a flipped dana 300, will be wheeling it for the first itme this weekend.

I'm running a np231 to np231 (wide chain, 241 planetaries, hd sye 32spline output.) doubler. Haven't tested offroad yet because I didn't bring my jeep with me to school but it looks good in the garage. I hope it holds up well enough.

Regardless... are doublers really AdFab???

No.. and it wont be covered. So, don't worry.

why is it not advanced??

i dont have the knowledg to do it without some guidance and i dont think 90% of the people on this site does either. you need to remember guys like me that cant afford to go get the newest, latest and greatest crawler box might be considering doing this doubler mod, i have an extra 307 T case on the side of the house and one in my rig and access to machineing tools but not a FAT check book so this is an ideal advanced tech mod for guys like me.

linking the rear of a rig is not advanced for me, and neither is building up a front axle but to sone it is. to rawbrown setting gears isnt advanced but to someone who has never done them its really advanced.

all i ask is that you think before you deny.:lecture:

then make your own thread.

ask questions about your 307

get input from people who have done it

get them to chime in

This is Scrappy's creation - and he can cover what he wants... no one is saying that you cant have an informative thread on doublers....

if doublers are not advanced fab how is taking the doors and glass off advanced?

They really arnt, but its usually what comes after that stuff that is. Doublers are not because to put it simply... I do not like them. They are IMO dumb to have. They are readily available through aftermarket sources and I NEVER will have one, so I wont be covering things that I do not think are worth while.

Buggy building, advanced tube bending, steering building, most anything that is custom building that a normal blow joe might beable to do or want to learn to do.

Dont worry, lots of good stuff will be brought to the table. I will do my best!

 

[RESET]

I am sorry I brought it up. I just wanted to see something about t-cases and doublers popped into my head. I was more interested in more of the combinations of parts that have been done. Such as using parts from one case to make another case stronger. i.e. putting 6 planetary sets into a 231.

Something else I would be interested in is tube fenders. I have seen some really good ones but can't get a good idea of how to duplicate them from the pics.

 

[GSequoia]

Personally I'd put tube fenders more in the realm of ModTech verses AdFab.

In my mind AdFab is for the *really* hard stuff. Yeah bending tube to create a fender line is a bit tricky but it's not really all that hard. Figuring outo how to create a structural cage that meets all your particular design criteria (be that full on strength or a compramise of strength verses east of use) is advanced.

wow, two months of adfab totm, i dont think many people who do the serrious adfab have much time to dedicate to writing about it every month. i know have around 10 min a day on line with naxja and 2 .5 hours a day under my welding hood or under my junk a day when this stuff is on my mind and then i dont want to spend whats left of my time writing about it. but hay, thats just me.:laugh3:

Troy, you need an intern to follow you around and snap pics and take notes!

 

[XJ_ranger]

Bump.



It would be cool to see this stuff happening again.

what would you like to write about?

March 1 is tomorrow, maybe just throw a post up, and let everyone who cares write some...

Material selection...when should you shell out $4/ft for 1.25x.188 DOM (because that's what your local supplier has) or should you just go with $1.68/ft 1.25x.120 HREW and consider it sacrificial?

it all depends on how much you're buying, and how often you're going to destroy it, and how many times you are ok with doing the same work...

if say you were buying a 10' stick, thats something like a $23 price difference, and you'd only have to do it once... 17+17 = $34 - so by the time you've done it twicem you've paid for the thicker tube ('cuse it'll probably cost $6 in beer to fix your smashed in tube)... and then you're just putting the same stuff back on again...
