The goal wasn't to get it as close as possible but to gain some clearence but most of all get rid of the lip on the bottom. We gained about 5/6" but 3/4" is doable without grinding the ring gear.

That is just cool lookin.

how thick of a plate is welded on the bottom?

Looks smooth

1/2" plate

Smooth is the best part of it. The extra clearence is nice though.

Very nice. :beer:

Tig, Mig or stick? Thats a nice lookn weld. What did you use to chop with? Did you machine the diff seal surface to get it flat?

Sweet pics.

Adam,

lookin nice there- mine should be done shortly - not quite as much off the bottom as yours - were lookin at putting a 1480 joint and a foot long 1 9/16 16 spline slip on it - should be pretty much over kill- Jess

Damn Adam, you are a cruel person. Whatever it is, I hope it all works out for ya. Hope to see yuo on the trail sooner or later.

DAmn Dean, what kind of Heims are those? I like a Lot. Give me the info on them bad boys. I think I am gonna build a 4 link for the rear as well when I build the cruiser, I just need some good heims to use for it. I think I may stay away from Tractor heims on my daily driver.

Dimitri

Um, Adam,

you were not kidding about the Godzilla joints... Those things are huge!:eek: :eek:

Adam is the one with the details and it looks as though it is super secret:flipoff2:

You sure do purty work Dean.
That looks awsome. I like the threaded fill piece and the way you modified the cover to bolt right up.
Very clean.

How much could you take off of a 14 bolt?

the 14 bolt to gain alot you need to machine the ring gear
about 1/4'',,to notice some real gains in clearance.

We have a buddy that has a 14 Bolt and the clearance is higher than a 44 in the rear:eek: :eek:

talk about shaving

whats Up Kevin
yah they are Beef
when I get more into the Project I will shed some light
1 inch bore 1 1/4 shank
should do the trick

Dim send me PM for Info!


Adam,

The best thing about that size of rod end is you won't wear them out. I have run that same size rod end for five years now. All mounted on top of the axle. They still have no play in them. 3/4 x 3/4 are strong but seem to develope some play after abit of hard use or mud runs. My jeep sees lots of road duty too.

where are you getting your rod ends from, I'm wanting to run that size on all my links, but at $100 a pop, I'll go broke on the front before I even get to the rear. I get good quality 3/4 from a local race guy for $25 (his cost, gotta love fellow jeepers).

Easy

I got my ends from Radial Bearing for $35 each. Check with Adam Ant, I think he got his from the same place a couple of weeks ago.

I would like to know more about these rod ends.

What is their max static load rating, max misalignment *'s, thread engagement length.

Do you have any pics of your setup Kyoder? Sounds cool.
5 years on the same heims sounds great!! $35. sounds great too!

Thanks,
Sean
