Get the biggest Cornfed or Daystar lift. Get wheel spacers, either Allpro or Spidertrax. Get the 285s and prepare yourself to do a little trimming. Be prepared for the looks you'll get when you go BIG!
Well I went to Autozone to price the parts and they don't have the boot by itself available. The entire halfshaft is 75 bucks so I think I'm just going to go ahead and do the whole thing. Considering how hard I wheel it I think that it is the best way to go. Plus all I have to do is pull the...
Thanks Kmvreter. That looks like what I need. How has your fix held? Any problems? Leaking grease?
I am not sure whether I have a torn boot or not yet. It looks like most of the grease came out of the end of the boot rather than from the boot itself since the boot itself is relatively clean.
The other day I noticed a bunch of grease on my Lower control arm. When I got down to look at it I realized that it was axle grease. So it looks like I need to replace the CV boots/joint. I can't see an obvious tear in the boot. It kind of looks like the grease came out of the end of the...
I have the Daystar 2.5/1.5 installed. I did the install in January. Since then I have gone on 7 offroad runs with a local 4x4 club. Some of the runs were trails and some were to a local offroad park. I have many tree pinstripes and even a couple dents to prove the difficulty of the trails...
When this happened to me it was caused by an alternator gone bad due to a critter chewing through the insulation on a wire. The wire contacted the engine block and shorted the alternator. Not cheap to fix.
You're gonna have rubbing issues offroad for sure. Perhaps even occasionally onroad. If you can't trim then you better lift. The Cornfed top spacer is a good choice.
I never hear those noises when I'm wheeling. Must be something with everyone else's 4R. Oh wait, it might be because I've got the Korn cranked. Twist! :D
Do they do this on a certain weekend of the month? My father lives in Butler county so this would be a fun place, and close, to try next time I am in Pa.
I had a situation a couple weekends ago while on my way to the local offroad park. I was running late going a little fast on country roads either paying to much attention or not enough to my GPS nav when i came up over a rise that ended in a hard country dogleg turn to the left. I slammed on...
