gearhead's build thread

[gearhead51]

small update my order from ruff stuff came in, i got a diff cover for my d44 and my new trac bar mount that will fix my angle and stop the trac bar from hitting the top of the diff

and i thaught i was getting a 1354m but when i showed up it was clearly a 1350M, cant beat the price $75! now just need to save up and give duffy a call

hopefully picking up these seats for $125 this week and rip all the carpet out and bed line the floor and then mount em in there

and might try to trade my 38x15 boggers for some skinnier 38's, i need gears BAD i have 3.73 right now idc im still gonna run the mud bog on sun, i have 4.56 for the front already i just need to buy 4.56 for the rear but good deals keep popping up

what's the other half of the doubler gonna be? 1354e or m?

 

[gearhead51]

1354e

 

[kris97ranger]

i wouldnt be trading away the boggers. your gonna regret it once you do get the proper gears. but im biased anyways cause i love as wide of a tire as possible.

 

[gearhead51]

gonna keep the wide boggers, didnt get the seats, gears will be orderd this week and i have around 400mi on the coils and there still pretty stiff so i debating on getting the super flex deavers from bronco graveyard or b.c. broncos 5.5 coils

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i'm runnin the deaver's from the graveyard and I think they are pretty stiff as well. i also ended up cutting a complete coil off of them since it was sittin way higher in the front and i couldnt adjust my headlight's enough to compensate. ive been tossin round the idea of buyin some jeep coil's for the past year or so but i'm concerned about body roll as i dont have any sway-bar's and dont really plan on ever running any either.

as for you gearing situation. try running 37's with 3.55 gear's talk about fun. NOOTTTT!!!!

im in the same boat i was really leaning towards the deavers but if there still stiff ill probably go with xj coils and im not gonna run a sway bar either ill just take it easy around corners. any idea what lift xj coil would give around the same height as a 5.5 EB coil? ,ya i have my little 28 in tires on right now because of the gearing , gas milege, and to save some wear on the boggers

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i think escort-gts and danger ranger84(?) are running xj coils. noy sure of the height tho. i just have the feeling they would be way too soft for me

thanks for the compliment and i love everything you have done to yours, i want to swap to a setup like yours sometime in the near future, and as for the EB d44 i beat on it pretty good sun and the little 260x joints didnt break and i had all 4 tires spining and hoping on rocks i have to get my other 3 chromolys soon!
