[InlandZJ]

It actually did pretty good. I kept it around 50 and just cruised. I set it in 4 wheel hi and let it do it's thing.

People were looking at us like we were nuts. We had the rear drive shaft duct taped to the d pillar and sticking out the window. There were quite a few people snapping pictures of it in the parking lot in arrowhead. I guess I know what it feels like to be Charlie sheen for a day!!

If anyone has a pinion yOke for a C8.25, let me know. This one is not broken but it did break off the bolts inside of the yoke when it ripped the straps off of it.

I've also been searching for a napa part number to replace the straps with u bolts, if anyone has that I would be very great full!! If I can find u bolts then I will just drill out the yoke, put a new u joint in, and bolt it down.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

you have to find a yoke that is made for ubolts not just drill out the yoke, it puts too much stress on the ujoint caps if it's not the right yoke and you'll eat ujoints.

Thanks, that was another question I had that I couldn't find a straight answer on.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

some will tell you go ahead and drill it out but that is not at all the right way to do it, the correct yoke is wider to hold the cap correctly.

This! I can get you a part number for the yoke Im using for the 1310 yoke. Assuming it's the same for your axle as it is for the Dana 60 im running.

 

[Vanimal]

damn dude! another 2 weeks and i would have won the pool!

sorry about the damage, glad the family wasnt in the heep when it happened.
i know you probably did it on purpose subliminally though lol

I can use that anyways Julio. I have a Dana 60 in my garage that will be going in once I get the front 60 deal worked out.

I should have known you guys had some bet going!!

My son said basically the same thing as I was climbing out of the jeep!!He said " I guess Dad gets to cut the doors an top off the jeep now"!!! He knows me too well!!


I actually found out this morning that I had rolled all the way onto the top but it had rolled back to the same side!!

 

[garrett83]

I got your pm Julio, I really appreciate the info.

 

[Boss Cherokee]

Sure glad to see your clan and you are all right!

haha yea well your jeep is pretty scary to watch when it's off camber. time to pull about a half a foot of lift out of it lol

Hey Garret I don't know if you've seen the post hack happy but it might help on what not to do. LOL

Lol! Funny man!

I have been planning to take about 4" off the front an see how it does from there. I've gotten so used to it I don't even notice the off camber stuff too much, or it doesn't bother me. This flop was purely from sliding backwards sideways into an embankment on a steep ass hill!! A stocker would have flipped on this!!

Plus, I'm going up to 40s here sooner than later!! I want to space!! Lol

 

[garrett83]

Hey Garret I don't know if you've seen the post hack happy but it might help on what not to do. LOL

Are you implying Vanimal is correct about his interpretation of high center of gravity vehicles being top heavy on te trail and more inclined to flop?! :huh:

 

[Vanimal]

na i think he means there's a thread called "hack happy" by some guy who cut his roof off and it's probably a good example of how not to do it lol

but yea, i'm always right!
