The 4406 and 4407 are identical except for the outputs. The 06 is slip, the 07 is flange...

This high steer idea is going to add more work than I wanted....but I'm committed. I sold my stock stuff.

Well, I was invited to a wheelin event at Badlands next weekend. In Indiana. So I bought a cheap unit bearing and threw it on. I am not a UB fan, but it sure is easy. Going to wheel this thing in stock form. Why not.
Check out that shock piston...




My DD gave me trouble today and I dont want to drive it tomorrow. So its either take a day off or try and get my truck out thats been stuck for over 6 weeks. This is the 3rd attempt to get it out. It was 4 degrees out and my driveway is slope that is currently covered in ice. I put my truck in gear and hooked it up to the Mounty. I do not know how, but it DRAGGED my dually 100ft to clear asphalt. One man show. I am very impressed.

The dually was literally iced to the ground.




Here went nothing


I had to keep getting out to adjust the dually's wheel since I was doing this alone.





It earned a heated garage spot for the night. Putting tags on it tomorrow.

Do it. One other stock Cherokee is coming. The other guys are all setup crawlers.

My ranger is torn apart and probably won't be ready by then, otherwise I would be very tempted to join

New dual disc in the cummins is still in the break in period and the explorers stuck in a snow pile with a flat tire. I dont see me doing anything until the weather breaks and i can work on stuff easier.

I'm no expert, but I'd say that shock is just about ready to be replaced.... But the shaft hasn't broken yet. Another 6 months or so and it should be retired. Redneck rule states "if it doesn't move at it should... WD40" lol
