How often do you need to check torque on beadlocks if daily driven? Is it something that can wait until every tire rotation or do you check every wheeling trip out?

What’s the best fluid to run to stop water from rusting my steel bead locks? I’m interested in trying mine maybe half full. Regular antifreeze? rv antifreeze?

Trying to get my son's 87 Chevy V20 road worthy for when he can drive by himself. The steering was pretty bad even with two new steering stabilizers the previous owner put on, so I put in an order through ORD. Went with the 2wd PSC box for crossover, put in an XJ steering shaft, new knuckle...

So my build has evolved and I am at a bit of a crossroads regarding my transfer case setup/needs. It is a long story but originally the buggy was going to be Toyota 7mgte powered, TH350, 4.7 dual Toyota cases on Toyota axles and 38's. I now however have a 4.8 LS, 1 tons and 40's. Am I crazy to...

Ok so I have a 2001ish E359/459 D70 rear with 8 lug and disc brakes. They have a parking brake on the inside of the rotor and I am wanting to rig up a mechanical parking brake for this thing. Now I have none of the cables so I am wondering does anyone know of The end of it uses a ring and a...

Anybody run one of these or know the approximate value? I'm thinking about picking one up that looks like a Dodge or gm 203 and a Ford Dana 20 with T shift which should mean it has 2.43 gears. It also has a 32 spline rear output but no yoke which isn't really a concern but the price should be...

I guess it isn't a question since I already applied antiseize to my supplied zinc plated bolts on my new aluminum beadlocks with metal threaded inserts. I'm using torque wrench and 20 ft lbs with antiseize vs 24 ft lbs dry. I'm able to make the beadlock ring sit flush to the wheel with no gap at...

There is a ton of info in this swap….except for the master cylinder part. Many folks say older corvette master cylinder, others say c3500 master, etc…. Does anyone have any real world experience? It seems for every suggestion there’s just as many people saying it didn’t work. Looking...

How crappy are the rear non-rubicon D44 JK axles? I'm googling them and hear the odd issues about them bending at the axle flanges. I'd be cutting the axle flanges off and making it full float anyway using old school D44 spindles out back. I found one with the gear ratio I want AND an ARB locker...

I've got a heathy 6.0 lq9 hooked up to a 700r4. 4.88s, 40s, jeep weighs 5,300 lbs with me in it. This is my first rig I've had an automatic in, and it has taken a little adjustment. Up until last weekend all I've really done is go crawling with the thing and it is phenomenal at that. This last...

Returning to the drivers seat of a wheeler for the first time in 14 years and need to know what requirements events usually have regarding safety gear. I'm stocking my jeep with the usual: Tow strap Shackles Tie downs Fire extinguisher Hi-lift Med kit ...and of course my own piece of personal...

Amazon cheapies. The threads are weird looking, like they're badly roll-formed? I went down to O'reilly's, and all the nuts in blister packs on the wall looked like this too. Still cheap crap? I've never bought new lug nuts, but the ones I've drug home from the junkyard never looked like...

Between the output of the trans and the input of the transfer case. Ram 3500. Where the two come together it's void of any lubricating material. Seal in the end if the trans and in the fron the transfer case. What would be the go to. I looked around a bit and it's all over the place on...

Prob a dumb question but whatever. I am planning to put 90 degree fittings on my Fox coilover reservoir hoses for clearance reasons and am wondering if it is just a straight forward swap or am I looking at fluid replacement and/or air burping once I open them up? The plan was/is to empty the...

OK so I'm going to build some new side mirror mounts for my doors and I am thinking a 5" mirror or what size are the Race Mirror folding ones would fit nicely. Now I know I want flat glass and am not finding any mirrors online sucessfully for any reasonable price. So anyone have a link online...

I'm looking at various options and I have so much invested in JK Rubicon 44 housings. Front is a Tera44 with 1/2" thick tubes and rear is still stock housing with custom brackets. They both have 8 lug full float kits from Teraflex. I was just wondering what it would take to widen them...

Ok so I got a ford np205 t case i modified the shift rail for twin stick and tore it all apart. I'm having issues putting the modified shift rail back in. One guy on YouTube rail is different than mine. What should I do here. Its the rear down that goes between the rails. It won't go far...

I have been running RZR's since 2012 and I like rockcrawling. Instead of buying another (probably $35-40k Polaris) I am considering buying a rockcrawler chassis and build my own. I am mechanically inclined and maintain and repair the three SXSs and farm equipment. I have a nicely equipped farm...

OK so here is my question. I have some D44 5x5.5" 80's ford spindles and hubs. NOW if I wanted to go to 6 lug could I just swap the hub and figure out the brake caliper mounts and run the same spindle? I am building my Tacoma LT Kits with D44 hubs and I currently have a set of hubs/spindles...

I'm kinda jammed up here, I bought a clean 79 f150 2wd that I want to convert to 4wd on a 32-35" tire that will in all honesty just be a cruiser with the rare 2 track use I've collected a set of 05+ super duty axles, but I really want to run the 95-96 ford alcoas, I have a set in 5lug 15, and 8...
