They make good Imperial stout and their breakfast stout is amazing too.
Nice fab work with the Ford parts. Is that an east coast project?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread aka North America Home Owners Association Thread
Anyone ever run a 5x5 XJ dana 30 with WJ hubs and brakes without the knuckle spacers? What stub shafts? I did some googling. The closest to a definite answer that I can find is that you need spacers if running shafts with a u-joint because that's the spacing they are all made to fit. Anyone here know anything that I'm missing?

Run no spacer and all stock WJ if you can get.your hands on the exclusive WJ u-joint shafts. Or use a JK30 stub, should be the same I think. The spacer is only needed when using the TJ/XJ hubs with a different mounting depth.

Why don't you want to run the spacer? I thought it was a different unit bearing that allowed you to run without a spacer, not a different stub.
I thought all OEM WJ shafts were CV?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread aka North America Home Owners Association Thread
I've never heard of a WJ w/ u-joints in the front axle. JK 30 stub might work but not sure what the spacing is.
I'm trying to find JK Rubicon take-off rims & tires and WJ's are 5x5 so I'm thinking why not keep it simple and run WJ unit bearings on WJ knuckles with WJ brakes rather than mixing and matching a bunch of custom junk.
I don't know what components require what. It's tempting to buy a bunch of hardware and try all the different combos and return what I don't need.

Multi-post Anthony... no reason I couldn't have put this all in one.
Adam and I pulled a mostly un-adultered power wiring harness and a virgin set of WJ knuckles/caliper brackets today. That's why I ask. My hunk o crap should be running very soon then I've got some fabrication to do.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread aka North America Home Owners Association Thread
Mark Shea runs Jk unit bearings with jk rcv's in wj knuckles on old school Dana 30 inner c's.
I think.
What spline are jk inner shafts? Maybe get them shortened? I wonder if jk u joints would fit in the Dana 30 knuckle....

Good to know. I haven't talked to the Nav Man in a few years. He's a crazy bastard (in a good way)
"Get them shortened" Heh... I could take care of that myself. I thought of it but was hoping to use all off the shelf parts from one vehicle or another. At that point I might as well put spacers onto the knuckle.

Antonio, I still have a set (of four) JK take offs if you're interested.
Also have a set of brandy new Rubicon wheels, but they're likely a lot more than you're looking to $pend.

Yes, yes... But I'm hoping to find them with tires... Although I could probably get each one seperate and cheap and just put tires onto your rims...

2 of ours have tires, two do not. One has a plug somewhere in the middle. hard to tell with those stock tires but somewhere around 50%ish tread. - no pressure, just giving you an option.

Export WJ's or something like that got some.
A JK30 stub has a 760 joint, the 44's have the bigger joint.
I don't see why everything stock WJ from the ball joints out with a JK30 stub wouldn't work. I'd like to see a JK30 and XJ/TJ stub side by side.

Yes. Mine
I worked with Tim at Liquid Iron Industries to figure out how to connect all the dots...I did the machining on the balljoint mounts, and he did the final welding/assembly for the parts on the beams. Mostly he did all the hard work and I spent a bunch of time making shavings on a milling machine. :laugh:
The whole thing can be found here, if you're interested...lots of oddball tech:
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gene...ve-rocker-east-coast-ttb-mod-racer-build.html
I'm going off the experience of guys that race much harder than I will with this truck, and recommendation from the industry-leading company that builds these kinda parts (spidertrax). I don't know a single person who has had problems even with far more aggressive pad compounds than what I'll be running...so no, I really don't think overheating's gonna be much of a big deal.
I didn't install the calipers yet because TrailGear sent me rear brackets instead of front and I need to see if it's worth grinding them to fit or just exchanging, but I've got Wilwood Dynalite forged stuff to bolt on as well.
