Im sure its been discussed before. But Are second gen axle shafts for 14 bolts all long side interchangeable? Shorts seem to all be the same at 31 5/8, but. The one I installed on my Scout has 37 5/8" shaft (it's the old first gen smooth body design) I just got another junk yard axle...

I guess I’ll put this here. Built a rear cargo storage unit for the rear of the 4Runner. It’s 5/8” solid red oak so it’s heavy. Thoughts? My biggest concern is frontal impact and the sheer force, which could kill anyone in the rear seats. I’ve glued and screwed everything and added...

We're at a mountain mafia event and my buddy threw his serp belt. 07 JK with 08 caddy 6.2 ls swap. Swap was a motech kit, so assuming the brackets are motech, but not the billet ones that come up on google. We did the way pictured and it's just too short. Also tried under the crank to under ac...

Had a kick ass weekend thrashing on my stocker rubicon... but ran into a snag on the last leg of the trail. Front locker is stuck on? Dash will flash and the locker will be engaged, if I engage the locker the light will turn on solid. I am pulling the cover this weekend but I assume I'll be...

Title kind of states it. Long: I have an "off-shoot" project that is similar to an existing rig just much bigger tires but sheet metal cut. Current rig is 35" tires, spring over using 99 Tahoe springs. I love the ride height, flex, and ride. Off-shoot project was going to go 35" tires but...

Has anyone run full hydro with a ~1.75in ram on a smaller rig? Just bench racing at this point trying to put my parts list together. The axle is a tj dana 30 under a samurai. It would be nice to get away with the smaller ram but I don’t want to sacrifice steering performance. What about the...

good am all, i have gone stupid today. but i think it is a easy solution. what i want to do is get more up travel with out gaining ride height. i know i can adjust the coil overs and run the spanner nut down and gain some there but then i increase ride height. so if i want the ride...

Long story short, I'm building a 2 ton GMC bus into an expedition/4WD vanlife/whatever you want to call it, rig. I'm looking for a suitable front end. I've got a Chevy Kingpin D60 under there currently, but am thinking I need something bigger. I know what the 60 bible says about KP60 GAWR...

Anyone know what port I have labelled in red? It didn't seem to pull vacuum at idle or RPM (should be ported vacuum because it's above the throttle plate from what I understand).

Ive got some spare outer parts and am thinking about doing something stupid with them. Anybody got an actual list with the inner shaft lengths thats reasnable to comprehend and compare? Im finding them listed seperatly or people just spouting pn#.

Has anyone ever purchased the "tire protection plan" from 4 Wheel Parts? How does it compare to the "certificates" from Discount Tire? Looking at getting a set of new tires, from my experience with tire failure, Discount has been great in honoring their policy even in off-road abuse. The 4 Wheel...

Short version. Friend of mine has a Cherokee that’s been sitting. Basic rig. Got an 8.8 rear, I think 4.56’s and off brand 35’s. It’s never had armor of any kind. Windows are beat out of it, rockers have a nice curve, and the body is toast. But then I got to thinking about Action Fabs...

Am I on the right path???? Lm7, stock cam, termX, gt45r (comp AR .70, ind 61.4 exd 82, trim 56, exhaust ind 73.8, exd 64.5, trim 76, turbo AR 1.00), stock manifolds, 2.5 od 18 gauge hot side, twin 7psi 38mm gates. Still need a fuel system. I think i need a walbro 4xx, deca 60s and regulator...

For reasons, I want a mechanical ebrake. Start a line lock tech thread if that is your solution as I will ignore those comments. I've got two stock setups mated that don't engage enough to stop the wheels; FJ55 and 2000 E350 van. Here is the cables mated: Left side is FJ55 cable fully...

I know the standard ‘four times link separation at the axle equals max tire size’ rule. I also know the limits of where stuff can fit. With the ‘4 times’ side rule someone would be limited to 28s and with 9” it’s 36” tires. What I’m looking for is an explanation, or understanding, of how...

Title kind of states it. Mainly interested in the coil and maybe ignition module. Specifically, I have an early 70s Cady 472 that is mostly stock with HEI distributor, a mild cam, headers, and intake running a Q-jet. I need to put a couple of new parts in the distributor for use in the next...

I'm looking for the length from axle centerline to u joint centerline. Anyone got one sitting around easy to get at?

So my psc cooler has been mounted through the radiator with the zip through he radiator deals. After replacing the radiator with an aluminum one. Now the through the radiator deals are not holding. Like cheap zip ties that break when you tighten them. Dunno what changed but it’s annoying. What...

Does it really make that much of a difference? Would I see better on-road braking going to a 13.50? Worse off road in mud and other slick stuff? Would any of it be enough to care about? This is for a full size 1500 truck, about 6k pounds loaded. Assuming the same diameter (37 in my case), same...

Planning to run right/left cutting brakes off a stock vehicle M/C through two solenoid valves. (line locks) But, being the tard I am, I got to thinking :homer: I wanted to plumb both MC outlets through a T-piece and then split left/right trough yet another T. The thought being that the MC is set...
