JR, I think it needs a diet myself. Much of it is overkill, could easily drop 30# & be just as strong imo. Which brings up weight again & I'm conscious of it as is Norm.....  so we have two types of weight really. Unsprung & gvw. In layman’s terms gvw is important for running obstacles, highway mpg and the beating this little pig of a motor takes. Unsprung comes into play when you’re looking again at the abuse this pig takes spinning the wheels, going over obstacles & fuel mileage. The one thing most don’t think about is tire balance, using these beadlock wheels & balancing beads with 38.5 10 ply tires can be an issue at highway speed. Those tires sidewalls are not going to want to give much. If they don’t give then it’s possible on light jeeps at highway speed to have issues due to uplift (think that’s a pilut term) & without give in the tires the beads can’t find their perfect pocket for balance. So then having a certain amount of spring and unsprung weight will be helpful especially on the front end. Yeah, it’s a balancing act.....

Shawn is the hexagonal piece a spring perch?

correct, lower coil spring mount. in bottom pic you have that lower coil spring mount then you have the lower sway bar mount just in front of that and then to the right is the track bar axle mount. On the other side out of view (I'll get other pics today) is the shock mount which sits directly above the lower control arm axle mount.

You might get that thing under the Jeep yet by Sept. Looking good so far....
We'll see, not holding my breath at the moment. GLO is getting busy and I have an xj driving daughter who has a list. Bottom line this finally took some precedence as I need my bench.

first link appears bad.
People should be scared for our democratic republic. if these career criminals get away with destroying a duly elected president just to regain power, I'm afraid its a slide to the bottom real quick.

With some airbags on the LB7, it will tow all I need to tow with the built trans and tuned motor.
Stopping it may be a different story....
Save it, the single wheel will never be the dually. Don’t care how much lipstick you put on it.... & yes that was a Ken quote right there ^^^^

Charles, it’s ok if you want to sell the Denali. We get it, honestly.....
As far as the dually, it’s nice sometimes knowing if you need it you have it too.

And yes it’s about time. I have the new tires and the inserts for the border patrol wheel due into me by weeks end. So things are progressing quicker now. The last of the parts for this front axle were ordered this week other than brakes and adjustable upper control arms which I will need to get the alignment close once I install this beast.
GLO also landed a job building two axles for a custom defender 90. It’s going to essentially be an EB setup under a European frame and body. The front axle is a built narrowed HP Dana 60 kingpin axle and the rear is a built 9” both are stock width early bronco with the 5 on 5.5 wheel mounts. So I need my table back for those builds as well.

Do you really think they would use that WiFi name??
How do you like that 365? That is one of the few 9mm that really has me thinking. Need to be creative to get it here though, but it can be done legit.
JR - I really like the 365 so far. Compact and light. 12 rounds of 9mm. Shoots extremely well even with a novice like me. I checked several casing and I didn't see any of the pin drag on the primer that seems to be the Youtube rage. After I change the mag release button and get more time on it I will let you know if that changes. I paid $519.00 and an extra $43.00 for the 12 round mag. I had sold my Sig 232 380ACP to change to this.
380 up to a 9mm sounds like a great move

Looks like I found a home for my mom. Very nice newer place and I took her there after I toured it. Nice studio with a kitchenet (microwave but no cooking), walk in shower and can even have small pets. Meals are cooked to order like a restaurant which was a biggy for me.
About $3500 a month which is actually low in the state and nearby (closer than her house). I need to work on veterans spouse aid which could be around 1200/month. My dad was a career marine serving in both Korea and VN. With that, her current $2000 income we would have to sell the house and invest the proceeds. Figure around $250K clear would net 1500-2000 a month and even add to the till with spending cash. Right now I need to finalize the power of attorney and trust which I already run.
This has been on my mind for some time now and it is time, even she said so. We see the Dr next week for the form she needs but that should be a breeze.
Those tiles look great!
Yep, its been about the $$ for some time now. Unless you are illegal or have lots of $$.
Not easy stuff JR, finalizing my moms trust now which the assets I have been managing for last two years. Had a scare with her a couple weeks ago and it was nice knowing I had all the necessary medical documents in hand. My Dad’s trust and medical docs where completed twelve to fourteen years ago and he has managed it thus far but docs are sitting in back of safe if needed.

The other thing I’m going to question is why AAM puts the BJ’s in the inner C versus the knuckle? After all many of these engineers who went to AAM were former Dana guys from what I heard when AAM was launching hard. Dana presses the BJ’s into the knuckles, so if you screw one up you buy a new knuckle which isn’t welded in place.

JR, Charles was ribbing Don there a bit I believe.

« on: August 21, 2018, 07:52:35 AM »
Or just weld on a new inner c versus whole housing swap. I’d try laying a bit of weld in there & get largest OD sanding drum that still fits the hole to profile weld out with a die grinder. Using a small diameter bit would make it much more difficult to profile correctly. Good luck either way!

I'd PM Tate and see if he has any ideas. If there is a larger BJ he might know of it as Randy's sells them (where I bought mine for my SD 60 build).
I have trouble thinking that peening will hold with the loctite. We used to do this to scissor lift table legs when we'd wipe out an insert when boring them to salvage a couple hundred dollar set of parts. It was a band aid at best in my opinion for those parts.
Did they screw up the whole socket or just one side? If it was just one side wondering if you couldn't lay a little weld in there and die grind it back close enough to press joint back in? If you have a 1/16" of play thinking you could minimize that some.

My in-laws live on Douglas Lake (part of TVA). They just came out for a visit and stated a lot of people are moving in from up east, places such as NJ.
On a serious note, can Don's knees handle the adventure bikes any longer?

We have a small chalk board in the kitchen, the intent was to help a busy family communicate a little better with three teenage girls always going separate directions. So that never really worked, however it has had some very inspiring quotes written upon it on occasion. My favorite was probably the one left by my 16 year old xj driving daughter. Quote Denver is the crap stain on Colorado’s underwear, says everyone! End quote Hard not to be proud.....

Charles, I get it.
I've had several run ins with the local guys lately along with my barber and now a neighbor who is a retired captain of another pd had an issue as well recently. None of us go out of our way to call the PD or to give them grief. Frankly I don't call the police for a reason.
All I'm saying is it goes a longs ways not to screw with the tax payers who are law abiding citizens and paying your fing salary. I mean this is your job and you would think you could do as I can and read someones body language etc. along with their comments. It especially would go a long ways not to step on my property when I've done nothing wrong and blow me sh*t. I realize the patrol guys run into a lot of crap and I appreciate what they do however don't pick fights with the guy sitting at home at 10 pm minding his own business. This guy isn't about to back down to stupid especially at 10pm, go harass some other knucklehead.
For the record the insurance / ticket thing happened a year ago right about the time we had a new chief instated, since then crime has gone up and I'm wearing boots now so I don't step in the crap as it's starting to get deep around here and we all know how I like my sandals! Maybe she 'er the chief needs to step it up..... Rant off

Sorry to hear that Norm. My ex had something similar, and it was an infection in her glands in that area.
This is for Shawn: https://youtu.be/B_6xC1h-mNk
Yeah, kids a chip off the ol block I’d say. Wish the cops would get over that insurance harassment crap personally speaking. They know whether or not you have valid insurance from their data base. I know some of them also do not care for us peons questioning the King’s men either, just my experience.

I like my new helmet, still an auto but I know a lot of guys who have went back to a fixed shade. But I’m telling you I felt pretty dumb after using this new helmet & not realizing prior what was going on exactly.

Hmmm, I’m wondering if crap build up is more prevalent with 22LR (low velocity etc). Caliber diameter obviously isn’t the issue.

« on: August 15, 2018, 09:03:49 AM »
i would not run 22lr out of any can that is not a 22lr can.
Explain please.
