Ruff Stuff used to offer a weld on cup that uses a front Dana 50 or 60 bolt on spindle. ( Not a unit bearing ). I know for most it would make sense to go unit bearing cup on a rear FF. Let's just say I'm looking to do a budget 35 spline rear 9" and have access to several Dana 50 spindles and...

I read through this thread: https://irate4x4.com/threads/panhard-and-drag-link-angles.403611/ and I think I know my answer, but I'm going to ask it here. Flame away:laughing: Use case is 95 Crew Cab F350, 90% road with/without trailer, 10% offroad with/without a trailer as a rescue...

I posted this in the Suzuki forum but it’s dead over there, so let’s try in here I know this samurai is on the west coast as it’s in the king of Elbe videos. I’m looking for a build thread or build info on it. Mostly the tube bed design as I plan on building something similar to it. I think...

I just picked up a set of 42" trep stickies for my FJ60 all purpose vehicle / crawler. I have used the "street tires / wheelin tires" model for the past decade or so, swapping from swampers to ATs for street driving, but I want to move to one set of tires for everything. Can anyone chime in on...

I'm having problems with a compressor I modified. I used a 70-100 psi regulator, and when o use it to air up a set of tires it bounces between 70 and 110. It's off for a second the kicks on because it can't find a single pressure to hold constant. The compressor is rated for 150 psi. I used...

This is half of a 16 spline 1310 driveshaft yoke that I broke. I wanna swap this over to a 1350. Having trouble finding this online. Where can I get this?

I’m looking for something similar made of aluminum. Want to ditch that heavy one I currently have. 4 criteria Aluminum Winch mount No wider than bottom of grill Place for factory style/size fog lights (not deal breaker) Thanks for any time you spend helping me out :beer:

Lets talk spare parts for the trail. I have a ton of stuff on the trailer, but am trying to determine what to haul for trail spares in the rig. Obviously when at a smaller park that you are never more than 15 minutes from camp, you don't need much in the rig and parts back at camp are easy...

I'm setting up the four link geometry on the rear of a tube buggy. I'm concerned about the lower link chassis side horizontal separation. As it sits now, there is only 10.5" of separation between the chassis side lower link mounts. The upper link mounts are taking a lot of real estate. I've...

So i am toying with upgrading my steering over the winter. I currently and running a stock p pump on a vortec truck motor accessory bracket. this then feeds into a case orbital and out to a 2.5x8 single ended ram. System works great, just like 5 turns lock to lock. Not bad since its the school...

Flame suit on.:lmao::lmao:....I searched and can't find the exact answers I'm looking for. Google, here and the old place:shaking:. Anyone know what the piston size(s) and mounting hole width are on 1979-1985 Toyota front brake calipers? The ones for non-vented rotors. Sounds like they have...

Doing research on aftermarket ECM for LS. In my application Gen4 6.0 Something I can program or without having to spend years learning. A new harness would be worthwhile. Don't need transmission control. Don't need a fancy screen.

Does anyone have any info on this type of 2piece wheel?

:smokin:

Been running a J20 Saginaw box with a PSC single ended ram for like 15 years and it works good. Say one of the hoses develops a bad leak while on the trail and I only have one NPT plug and no spare hose. Could I plug the box on the port with the bad hose, remove the bad hose and continue...

Ghetto Fab's hack job buggy, the aquatic axle and two bolt beef. Time to start a build thread I guess. Building a new buggy. Current plans are to keep this somewhat simple and basic. I'm a father of two boys, full time job and all the responsibilities that come with that, so my time and...

Couldn't find a dedicated thread, so here it goes :homer: What's out there? What's good? What's not good? Proof is in the puddin', so whatcha got? I posted about double beadlocks a while back and decided that Stazworks and such were way to heavy for my car. Running 15x7's. Looking to...
