if anyone cares too can you go measure from the ground to the receiver on your tow rig? After the last time I measured other peoples trucks in the parking lot I'm hesitant to do that again.

I need to build a receiver for thw weinerbox and would like to make it an average pickup truck height since it will always be towing other peoples stuff with their drawbar.

Uhaul requires a height of 21" or 26" from the ground i believe. Good starting point for a hitch.

I just finished the Durango Steering gearbox upgrade on the Heep.... WOW!!!!!!!!!

I posted the article I followed on my build thread, I really recommend this if you are unhappy with the effort you use in steering!

Now that I've got the Dodge back on the road, I'm hoisting a beverage and comfortably ensconced in an easy chair. I'll measure it tomorrow night.

My Stock 97 Dodge 2500 deisel is 21" to the bottom of the reciever.

Toow with a 4" drop hitch to make the trailer level.

fully agreed. It went from two hands to steer the XJ comfortably with my 33s to one finger steering. I threw it on the MJ mostly because it was already connected/bled with my 96 PS pump I was installing (I hate the 95- belt tensioner design slightly more than I hate the 96+ design) during my drivetrain swap and lift, and I had managed to break one of the bolts in the stock steering box anyways.

There is very little drivetrain-wise that I did not replace in the last 2 months now that I think about it... tcase, rear axle, driveshafts, transmission, motor, intake/exhaust manifolds, ps pump, steering box, radiator, front bumper, header panel, lift, wheels/tires, front locker+diff cover+760 shafts, motor mounts, trans mount, brake booster, and pedal assembly all went in at once.

'96 Chevy K2500 with stock tires = 20" to the center of the hole. I use a 3.5" drop drawbar for the car hauler.

after much thought (and many beers) I believe my heep is gonna go a new direction. I am pulling in the donor vehicle this weekend and gonna cut the axles out....and part of my rig apart too.....

anyone need parts off a 87 ford F350 w/ a 460 in it b/c it is going to scrap once the axles are pulled. It is a beat ass old farm truck w/o much good left on it, but it has a bitchen Pioneer cassette deck that has a few .22 shells rolling around inside of it from a certain kid putting them in there.

after this weekend, stay tuned for a part out thread on my rig...............

 

[87manche]

thanks guys.

If I take the easy wa yout on my receiver fab it will end up around 20 ", so it looks like that's the route I'm going.

i thought i had a bad case of athletes foot so i took off my shoe and i see a big ass mosquito bite on one of my toes...

moral of the story is, it now smells like feet by my desk
