Re: SierraDan's SJ

I'm giving it my best with what I have available under a very tight budget.

Thanks! :thumbup: :weld:

Re: SierraDan's SJ

That was a critical thing for me which pushed me toward NT spacing. I'll never sacrifice steering angle.
I think my next unnecessary venture will be a wider front axle with narrower offset rims to reduce the scrub radius and try and get more steering out of it with a different knuckle...

Re: SierraDan's SJ

Haha! I hear you.

I don't think I can be bothered doing it again on the front. :oops:
I should though.. as I'm in boarding the front springs too.

Cool, didn't know your blue car had clamps.

Re: SierraDan's SJ

I dunno that I could squash steel with bolts though haha.

But tightening to the packers would be my intent, limit the amount it can curl and stretch.

I'm vigilant of all important bolts anyway.

Re: SierraDan's SJ

I was thinking of making a couple of uprights say 2mm shorter than the spring stack height, so it doesn't gradually bend the plates from tightening as easily. My lower plates are 10mm, as I know they're gonna eat rock.

It should gain me some ...

Re: SierraDan's SJ

I couldn't drive mine without being twin locked. They're very valuable on the trail.
Gearing is probably the best thing you can do though!


P.S. Your avatars are spinning me out something serious :S
