Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Bill's tryin to make excusesssssss lol

No, I'm not. Really, I'm not.

I'll have to post up some of the chart I made when I built my 44. Some of those prices are slightly off.

For example:
D44 high steer knuckles: $490.50
I payed $200 for a complete axle with flatops. I was even able to use the calipers for cores.

Ball joints did not cost me $90.

Like I said, prices may vary. Read the darn disclaimer.
Everything I priced (this was awhile back) was brand new parts. Shop around and they probably could be had for cheaper or even used. I also know you don't need the knuckles on some D44s. At the time I had neither axle so I wanted to keep the playing field fair. As I know you know, I ended up having a bunch of axles and I could have gone either way as I had them both (D44 and D60), I settled on what I thought was best. It is all personal opinion, I'm not saying what you did was bad or wrong. Just simply posting my outcome of everything.

i would rather build something other than an XJ into a buggy. I think on 35s they are the perfect vehicle for what we have around here.

Sorta why I'm not pushing the issue. I don't want anyone to jump into anything.

Another thing to think about, Colin would have to get new tires, as he wouldn't be able to use a 15" rim on a D60. (I believe your 16.5's were a tight fit?

Only because I kept the 1-ton brakes. You can step the brakes down to 1/2 and 3/4 ton stuff and run 15s.
Edit: That's something I just realized I forgot on that old chart, brakes.

I couldn't break a shaft with 35s. Broke the ring gear. Full circle c-clips helped eliminate that problem.

Do you think maybe the boggers aren't helping things...?

I'll be putting the my D30 stuff up for sale only if Liza doesn't want it. She has first dibs.

You don't have 760s? Damn, no wonder you're blowing shafts up.

Aside from the plate what else are you doing Anthony?

You could weld the symbol on the cover.
