I think I'm going to just cut a gap in my current frame for the coilovers and use 2x2 x .250" for the lowers. Keeps time/cost down since I still need to finish my uncles car, help my brother with his car, and then help my father/sister with their duster. Nevermind the house stuff that hasn't gotten done yet :laugh:.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread aka North America Home Owners Association Thread

I hear ya. Without stuff going on I would be so bored. I always ask Kate "What do normal people do on the weekends?" :laugh:

I'm going to half-hearted start saving for a new project now that we have our budget laid out and Kate is working full-time. Street-able stretched CJ with all of my MJ stuff thrown in it on 37s. As much as I want a full-blown buggy, I miss having something I can cruise down the road in more.

In my head I'd still want to use the trailer to take it down to RC and if I did any Line Mtn stuff with it. Nice thing about a CJ/Wranger is the windshield frame just unbolts, doors pop off easy, then you're ready to go racing.

Factory refurbed D7k from amazon or B&H? Just a thought. D7k won't buffer 100 shots at full res... It's more like 20 at most if shooting raw + B. 100ish would probably be possible if shooting JPG's at lowest quality... but who the hell does that.

70-300 is my other lens... It's a completely different setup internally than the 55-300. If you're considering one I would recommend the 70-300, but it is a bit more dough. How do you like that 10-24? I want something wider... Right now my widest lens is 18mm and I'm bored with it. 18-105's are pretty common kit lenses with newer mid-grade bodies. 18-55's are slightly better optically, but in the middle of the range 18-105's are damn close, and much more useful as a walk-around lens. Good luck, let me know what you go with.

I went and played with a D5200 at Best Buy and was really happy with it. I did some more research and started looking at the D7100. I went to Hunt's last night and played with both side by side. While significantly more money, the D7100 felt bigger, heavier, and more solid, which I liked. I'm really leaning toward that one, although I looked at my bank account last night and reconsidered getting anything.

I think I'm going to get a Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lens too.

I need to sell my 241OR now.

Squashman, I noticed you live in Brighton. What does your jeep look like?

Edit: just saw your signature ZJ's

How much do you have to stretch a CJ to fit your behemoth drivetrain into?

At 103" I'm barely able to fit the V6/NSG370/300 combo. :laugh:

i remember a render of a CJ8 or scrambler popping up on pirate a while ago with coil overs, PSC headlocks, and 37s on it a while ago. that thing was awesome. CJ8s are something like 100" wb or so.

If I have to, I'll go with a shorter reduction housing. The one I have now is like a foot longer than it needs to be. Worst case I lose the doubler all together and go with just the 205. We'll see.

BTW, did you get those -8 pushloks assembled?

100" is still nowhere near long enough. Renders are cool, miniscule rear driveshafts are not. :nosmile:

Yeah...heat gun helped a lot. Got it almost all done last night, although the 90's are still a pain in the dick.

Yeah like I said I wouldn't know until I had it all in front of me. I bet I could stuff a small reduction housing in there, like a behemoth strongbox or something.

Fittings in the freezer helped the most for me. Pulled them out after 20-30 minutes, heat the hose a bit with the heat gun, and I could push them on with very slight pressure. Even the 90s I had to do.

With just the heat gun I could never get them on 100% of the way.
