Project Telluride: tons, big rubber, and a clean slate.

I don't want either of those. Seen far too many guys lose the lockers and shafts all in one go. Or locker goes bad and takes the shaft when it unloads. Spools are simple.
Ya the LS aren't great. Work well enough though. For now anyway.

I'm saddened to see such a well built rig be sold or parted.

 

[in4aride]

Just up for sale currently. I'll keep wheeling and doing whatever. If I don't sell as a whole I'll just be taking axles wheels and tires for nex project, then tossing some rollers under this and selling as a project for next person.

 

[in4aride]

Picked up the doubler tonight. Going to start collecting parts for it. Not sure if I'll put in in this rig if it doesn't sell, or just leave it out until the next project.

You have better pics of your steering by chance? It appears you didn't do high steer which cheaper is better for me right now and I have to figure out my steering fast on my rigs build. Its a tj but shouldn't matter to much.

 

[in4aride]

I can get you a shot. But all index was heims. Bent the tie rod to match factory tie rod bends. Straight drag link.

 

[in4aride]

I'm running 7/8-3/4 and you'll need insert on passenger side for the 3/4 bolt since factory is dual taper.

 

[offroadman83]

Alright......sounds good.

 

[in4aride]

Weaver makes the inserts. Can find em on pirate with a link.
I'll get a pic tonight if the steering. Anything specific you're wanting to see

 

[offroadman83]

Yeah i found the weaver Inserts after you mentioned it. Don't guess anything specific really...just all of it lol

I bet you got busy....im thinking about ordering the offset heims barnes4wd has for my steering to clear the cover and running it like you with the weaver fab inserts. Ive also looked at weld on high steer options but i don't really believe high steer is needed and it might conflict with my tj frame more than i want anyways.

Not sure if offset will be enough. Depends on cover.

 

[offroadman83]

40's make it look easy, that shackle shift was crazy...

 

[in4aride]

So to answer the barrage of texts and pm's about what the hell is going on.
No. I'm not having a kid.
The xj got my feet wet back into piecing things together and let me see where I was on getting better at doing so. I stumbled across an absolutely stupid deal (thanks led) and snagged the base to a new project. Some work needs undone. Some needs finished. And I need funds. But here's the basis.
Going to be 4.0 aw4 231/300 60/10.5 (spool/weld 5.38) 40's 112-116 wb (really leaning to 113" and shooting for a 20" belly. C/o all corners. 3-link panhard front with full hydro and tri 4 rear.
So ya.
