I'm more concerned of if it breaks 5 hrs from home and it's not a shaft a junk yard would have.

So, a couple questions.

Where are the cheapest prices on aluminum links yall have been seeing?

And any ideas on spare axle shafts for the rear? It's 35 spline and 31.12" and 30.12". Since it's narrow and 35 spline I figure it's gonna have to be a custom shaft. Didn't know if anything would have came in the 1.5" diameter that I could pick up on the cheap and have them cut/splined just for spares. Really don't want to spend $400 on spare shafts for the rear. #sheain'tno14BFF

I think my rear 70 are 1.5 dia??

Nice. Ill do some checking around then. Shouldn't cost much to have some cut down and splined I wouldn't think.

Can you tell it has a good bit more power then your dd?

matth_85 · Feb 24, 2014

It's really hard to say. It's not a drastic difference by any means. I would say that it would outrun the green Jeep though. May have to see...haha.

The power really comes in around 1800RPM. It's pretty weak out of the hole, but from 1800 to rev limiter it does pretty good.

It's got 5:13's but 39's are pretty dang heavy.

In 4:1 it's very strong though. 1st gear is basically useless. It pulls 2nd gear hard. I wish it was a 5 speed, but I think the auto will help keep it together. In comparison to Neil's JK buggy, it has very noticeably more power.

Can't decide where to mount the solenoid box. Was under the hood on te buggy but there is a LOT goin on under the TJ hood. Will have to put a longer battery lead on to keep it outside though. Decisions, decisions...

Shilohsho · Feb 25, 2014

Is the rope wound the wrong direction on the winch?

hedmisten · Feb 25, 2014

Nice rig Matt

matth_85 · Feb 25, 2014

Thanks Hunter.

And Tucker, it may be the wrong way. Could have been pinched when I put it back on and flopped that way, or could have been wrong forever. No idea, will check on that though when I get the solenoid box mounted up.

VOLT · Feb 25, 2014

You would know if it was spooled wrong. Sure looks like it though. Mount the S Box on the winch. I think they look bare with just the drum/motor like that. Be sure to mount it crooked like Marcus too. And then leave it crooked forever.

matth_85 · Feb 25, 2014

Lmao. It seemed to do fine on the buggy. I will look into it. I was thinking to mount it on the winch also, cover up some of that grille. It was mounted separately on the buggy bc of space issues.
