Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I wouldn't bother either, but that's because there's nofawkingway I could see that a hi-steer tierod would clear the pitman arm at anything close to full bump.

^ This man has a good point.

You seem to forget that Ross likes sky high lifts.

He had 8" on 35s.

Mark had/has that amount on 33s.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I already told Ross about the tie rod issue.

His answer was to move the steering box forward.

I called him stupid.

I think the front crossmember would disagree with this idea. Sure, remove it and do a different one like all you guys did, but I'm really not that concerned about it. And I like the 1/2" of space between my winch and balancer.

Going from the current spot (over-the-knuckle) to under the high steer arms isn't even that much of a gain, and the ram becomes harder to package. I guess I could have built the same kind of thing off the diff cover but higher, but then the hydro lines would be even more bent, and I'm not thrilled about the radius there as it is.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Im also still kinda up in the air about exactly how my steering setup will go. I wanna mount the tierod higher then otk but lower then under the high steer arm so I might build custom arm to line up with the stock steering arms. My box could/will get pushed forward with a custom double sheer pitman arm.

I have about 10% of the crossmember left.
I had to mount my steering under the high steer arms, but for a different reason (tire clearance). If I was any higher I'd have issues with oil pan clearance even without the ram and just a 1.5" OD tie rod. Then again I have about 3" less lift than Ross will need.

I didn't notice your lines were a problem. Can use you a spring like I did and pull them back and up? You'd need a longer line, but the bend radius would be larger.

So all that work gains you what?
I'm just not sure what you are trying to accomplish over setups that are proven to work, are simple ans easy.
Not beating you up, really trying to figure this out.

I love how as long as I constantly make progress on my MJ I can crap on everyone else's build threads

You and Sam both know how the crossmember looked before I took that disaster out.

you cant really move the steering box forward much without making a lame approach angle

i have thought about this.

Im using a setup that works, im copying other peoples once im off my phone, ill post some pics of the setups im going after.

Like a double pretzel. It was cool.

...but then he can run one of those awesome guards that the wranglers do!

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

or you could be awesome and mount the steering box on the axle and run long power steering lines (wish i could find a pic, but i have seen this)

prove it!

I will wheel my jeep before you finish yours... and I've got a grand total of like 4k into mine, including way overpaying for the jeep itself ($2400.)

it looked like a deer used it as a hammock.

WTF?

did they use like some goofy really long steering shaft? nevermind, I don't even want to know, but I bet it will be on the monster orange abortion of an XJ at next year's GAJR.
