To Do List

[ktm racer 419]

I read somewhere that the 4.88's don't fit in one of the axles without doing some grinding. I forgot which one but I know it was one of mine. HP30/C8.25

hmm

never heard of the grinding

but until recently 4.56 was as deep as you could go in a 8.25

but now nitro gear offers 4.88's for the 8.25s

and nitro gear is good stuff

Grind down one tooth on the 8.25 ring gear to get the cross shaft back into the carrier.

No big deal.

Go 4.88s or we will all make fun of you.

And you can't deal with Carmelo making fun of you...trust me.

this exact same thing happened to a friend of mine

he built a d60 and 10.25

installed them

and his front axle literally fell out at rc due to ghetto bracketry

in the cargo area? if you lay it down flat and to one side it fits

 

[billyjp2]

I <3 ghetto bracketry.

is there any other kind?

 

[ARB-XJ]

Must do:
SYE
Gas skid
SB brace
new tie rod

Want to do:
front locker

 

[chedisme]

need to install:
rocker skids
flairs

need to buy:
some upgrade to the stock steering

need to get:
something

 

[MrShaft696]

sup rob, this is how I roll now, extra fluids in the bin, spare driveshaft & tie rod under the deck.

I have a stock tire carrier as seen here....

The carrier does not work with a 33, the tire is too wide and heavy to be latched onto the hatch. It has to be spaced out and rattles/wiggles like a bitch. So I just want to modify it so that it latches to the bumper and not the hatch. I need the room in the trunk to go on trips etc, sometimes I go with 3 other people so filling the hatch with tire is out of the question & so is putting it on the roof, because I haul kayaks up there.

 

[CountryXJer]

Congrats MrShaft696!
Nothing to do to MRDUTCH!
No sense messing with what works for me!

 

[Veeb0rg]

To do:

Install front bumper
Install Rock Rails
Upgrade to abs axle shafts upfront
SYE and adjust linkage so 4lo works.
Install Diff Cover/Gas Tank skid/Transfer Skid
Find a set of 31's.

 

[themangeraaad]

I suppose I have 2 "to do" list options:
Common items:
-Unibody tie-in's for rear bumper
-new front bumper mounts (unibody tie-in's)
-maybe a winch on front bumper
-maybe/hopefully rock rails
-SYE
-hopefully skids

Axles option 1:
-XJ width 9" rebuilt
-regear D30

Axles option 2:
-HP44/9" built and installed (and geared to at least 4.88's)

If option 2 is pursued it will most likely involve a long arm kit being fabbed/installed as well, though option 1 may also involve long arms.

bill, that's gotta feel good that you actually have it down to a list short enough worth posting.

 

[MoparManiac]

You need to add "shakedown run" to that list of yours Bill.
