  1. Ford NP205 Transfer case Rebuild Kit

    Ok so I'm running a NP205 behind my turbo 6.0L prerunner beast and I want to go through the case and install new bearings and seals. Who is a good supplier for the complete kit? The bearings all spin free so is it even necessary to change them if they look good and all spin free and smooth...
  2. Best source for transfer case rebuild?

    Any good sources for a rebuild kit for a GM Np261? It’s in unknown condition and I’ll tear it down before install.
  3. TJ Rear Corner Guards

    Looking for this style of corner guard: 14-06-010-PC It seems everyone is out of stock, I read a few weeks back these were discontinued. Anyone make a similar product these days? Everything seems to have shifted to the JK JL now and TJ support is dropping. I'm hiding some ugly body work...

    In radiator engine oil "cooler"

    1984 Chevy K30/CUCV I fubared the threads on the internal cooler/heater. I am wondering if it is more of a military thing or really needed? I am on steelsoldiers , they are a little more fanatical about "original" than I am. I repaired/got going by just looping the hoses.
  5. DE steering ram suggestions/opinions

    Does anyone run the TG Rock Assault DE ram and if so what is your opinion of it? I am torn between it and the PSC 2.5x8. The PSC has slightly larger rods (1.5 vs TG 1.375) but as far as I can tell is a 2 piece where as the TG has a 1 piece rod. I've read about the PSC rods coming undone but not...

    Setting toe in/out for axle swap

    Can someone tell me in GREAET detail how I could set (ball park) the toe for a front axle I plan to swap into a vehicle in the near future? It is a Dana 60 (Kingpin if it matters) and all I've see is people measuring the front axle and setting it 3/16-1/4" in. I don't really understand any of...

    Dissolving Fuel Cell Foam

    I recently picked up a homemade fuel cell for next to nothing and it fits my dumb trail truck perfectly. The downside is the foam inside has degraded and plugs up the fuel filter rather quickly. This one doesn't have the typical bolt on filler neck so pulling it out by hand isnt an easy...
  9. Hydroboost and Box Return lines

    OK so I am running a hydroboost setup on my truck and I have seen some people just run a simple Tee with the 2 lines going together and then to the reservoir but I am curious what other options are there besides putting a second return line fitting onto the cooler? The Cooler only has a single...
  10. TJ Body Repair

    I can't seem to find pics of it online... I have a small hole in the floor on my TJ I want to address before winter. It's in the pocket where the seat belt mounts to, you cannot see the hole from inside the cab (only from the underside) and it's outside of the torque box. I was thinking about...

    YJ Dana 30 tie rod flip?

    I'm trying to help a friend get his 95 YJ to behave better on the street. I don't know shit about jeeps but It sounds to me like doing the tie rod flip on his D30 may help. Any opinions on this, am I on the right track? His jeep is a fairly stock 95 yj, 4cyl, dana 30, 4.5" RE springs (spua)...
  12. Where to get PVC Wiffle Balls?

    Hey so I have a 55 gallon fuel cell and am wanting to run some wiffle balls in it since It has no foam or anything. I've read that PVC wiffle balls are fuel compatible and will last quite a while. Now my question is where do you guys buy those as my local stores they don't say what they are...

    Caster: IFS 4Runner Questions...

    I have never modified the front end of an IFS 4WD before. I ordered up an Icon Stage 1 kit and Icon says factory UCA’s are fine. My caster wasn’t even 1 degree. It was around .61 degree. It’s going to handle like shit doing 80 mph down the interstate. What should I be aiming for on this thing...

    What really fails in an ARB during a catastrophic event?

    Title basically states it. I have zero interest in installer errors such as rolled/pinch o-rings and air line routing issues. Is it the main case, side gears, spider gears or other? I recall a competition Ford 9" that had issues in 35 spline setup. Extra details: My specific interest is...

    Bringing a battery back from death.

    My project truck had a new set of batteries put in it in 2016, then I parked it in the garage to start building it. Of course I stupidly left the batteries in it sitting this entire time. What are the odds I'm able to save them? I pulled one out yesterday but none of my chargers will attempt...
  17. D60 Spindle Blocks

    OK So many years ago I know ruffstuff was selling full float axle ends to run a D60 front spindle and hub. Well I'm building a TTB Front end and am contemplating designing some new knuckles for that to get better brakes AND steering arm location for my steering geometry. So who makes a D60 5...
  18. Ideas for re-clocking this t-case adapter

    After the NP231 swap in my WJ I have some extra room above the transfer case, so I can clock it up. The existing clocking rings clock it too much and I don't want to start making room for it. This is the adapter: Any idea on how to re-drill this at home? A jig using the existing holes...

    Bumpstops with Coilovers?

    Are bumpstops required with coilovers? Yes very newb question. No I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm imagining coilsprings go exactly where coil springs would go but this removes the bump stop. Do you only need bump stops in a go fast race car, or will it fuck the coilover beyond believe to NOT...
  20. Drive shaft damage, when to fix/replace?

    So this is newb section. Question is, how damaged do you let your DS get before fixing or replacing. Like as in some big ass dents, it still rotates. When is it time to repair? Im sure this depends on trail vs. daily driver. For a daily driver, how bad can the damage get before it is out of...
