Opening up the kingpin covers again to install the new springs PLUS the old washers. Its just a machine, it can't win...........

Parked it in the garage, closed the door, gave it "project" status while I think of what to do next. Installed the new Dana 60 kingpin springs & whatever those plastic cup pieces are called in an attempt to cure death wobble. Now its much much worse, its undriveable. Its 100 degrees out, I...

okeydokey.

Just talkin' to myself some more.....so THATS what those big washers are for : the ol' Dana 60 death wobble trick....I guess I better put these back in then......

It stripped the avatar out of the post and put it in a photo album. I'm not upset about it, just surprised that the algorithm exists to do that.

Now thats interesting : I posted on our site here, did not get much response so went to a popular search site. I typed what I was looking for into the search line and notice that my SS avatar appeared in the "images" associated with that subject. I guess maybe I'm getting paranoid about how...

My thoughts are along the lines of driving to the top of a hill then facing the rear of the vehicle toward where I want to communicate. Not on a regular basis, rather, for emergency or relay comms. I am really am trying to keep the outside of my vehicle as clean as possible (no roof rack, fuel...

Green Wave Scientific. Will explore the patent offfice website to see what info is available. I like the idea of a stealthy antenna.

Thats why I reeeealy hate mud : Sixteen wheel drive between the two of you and it was still a challenge !!

Ah yes, 5.38 gears, I remember those. The ol jeep's name was "Flattery" , because it got me nowhere :) Welcome to the fora.

Did the headlight harness conversion. Pretty easy. That harness is not even one inch too long tho, careful how you route it.

There is a company that makes them, embedded in mudflaps with an RF connector. I imagine one could come up with a poor man's version, sandwiched between two flaps. Your thoughts ?

Um, yeah, there are a couple of non-compliant features on this truck : no rear plate light or mudflaps. There is a light on the bumper, residual from when the plate was located there, I suppose I could turn it upside down so it faces upward. I'd rather run a wire into the tailgate tho. And am...

weld & grind, then install yellow parts. You see, anything I replace I paint CAT yellow, that way I know what I fixed. Pics no load from PC. So I'll just tell you that, after a test drive, I have noticed one immediate effect due to the crossover steering : The truck would "tug" at the...

Yes, that and X-over hardware queued up ready to go.

Welded cracked frame at steering box mount.

epartsman : thats how I got my daughter to stop chewing on pencils. "Look, is says number 2 right on it, what do you thinks its made of ??"

Voltage sources in series.....like batteries in a flashlight. Doesn't seem that complicated to me...and I don't have an advanced degree.

I like the tool sharing idea. Seems like the specialty tools group in project categories like brakes, suspension, steering, etc. For example I just had to buy a 7/16 12 pt socket , 18mm tubing wrench, and pickle fork to do some steering work. Any one particular tool isn't so expensive but its a...

Ah, its 7/16 inch, but ya havta use a 12 point socket.....sheesh. Now I need to figure out what to do with these leftover kingpin washers...how many did I put in there?
