hows the ifs holding up?????

hows the ifs holding up?????

Surprisingly his shit holds up pretty good. Just a new actuator ever other ride. I however could not keep my shit together with the cognito. But my right foot is mighty heavy on the stupid petal.

I went with an upgrade actuator available from Chevrolet on my '95 Z71. There's also a cable setup available from an aftermarket vendor but I remember where I found that.

How did Chevy ever come up with the thermo-linear actuator. :shaking:

You must be the envy of the trailer park.

i have a electronic actuator.... i have it engaged and i un plugged it so it just stays locked in all the time..... i dont drive it much on the road... so it dont matter about the front d shaft turnin

the ifs is holding up well in 189k miles i've only changed 1 lower balljoint.... i do have a cv boot that i can tell its about to bust... but other than that nothing major.... i am thinkin about wheeling ifs as long as i can and see what kind of abuse it will handle... i am thinkin about going with some 40 ltbs next

where do you guys go muddin? i'm in lafayette

what do you have for cv shafts?

where do you guys go muddin? i'm in lafayette

we go to duhons mudhole and friends land

what do you have for cv shafts?

stock cv shafts... only thing that i've replaced so far is 1 balljoint

i will be going on a trail ride this weekend.. more pics and videos to come

see how the ifs holds up to hill climbs and hard surfaces

let me know if you've got room for 2 more "friends". i'll be going to duhons this year too but have been looking for land to ride on to test a couple things.

i almost rolled the tahoe

but it kept together

Looks like a nice place to go wheelin! :skull:

haha... thats not even close to a flop. It could have gone alot further before it would have gone over.

Must be a bitch bein a flat land wheeler....:flipoff2::laughing:

Looks sick! Are those rims 10 or 12 inch wide? Just got the same tires and not sure what size I want to run. Thanks

x10s

Thats not close to rollin.

it was the closest i been to a flop.... maybe with a sfa and better springs with a shackle flip it would have been better but with the ifs and those shitty rear springs it felt like i was about to flop

Does it have 1/2 or 3/4 ton front IFS?

Does it have 1/2 or 3/4 ton front IFS?

.5ton

besides still having the ifs, why havent you at least upgraded the easiest thing to do.....that damn 10 bolt rear

because he hasn't broken it yet. Don't let what everyone says get to you. A 1/2 ton chevy in the mud will live alot longer then one on the rubicon. But from a real cheap wheeler, to another, it's not a bad idea to go ahead and locate a stronger rear axel. and I wouldn't put much money into the IFS. It will hold up for awhile, and you should wheel the piss out of it while it does, but eventually it is just going to fail, masivly. and you will wish that you did the SAS sooner. But until you can aford it, keep doing what your doing. and it looks like a great place to wheel, My kinda style anyway.

besides still having the ifs, why havent you at least upgraded the easiest thing to do.....that damn 10 bolt rear

i am currently in the process of putting together a 14ff with machined 6 lug hubs with 4.88s and a detroit locker...

next step will be to swap in a 60 front and 8 lug hubs on the 14 after the ifs has had complete destruction

Build as you can afford man, to many people go and stick themselves into alot of debt to make a decent rig instead of just doing it when they can afford it.

the 14 swap is going well... should be done in the morning...

will post pics when complete.

Looks good but your rear tires are on backwards:flipoff2:

yea i did that to flatten them out... they are scalloped bad and the detroit locker in the rear will help wear them backwards

still just a bitch......:D

still just a bitch......:D

no worse than a SAS'd NNBS with no front driveshaft:mad3::flipoff2:

Can you post some technical info on how you did the 8 to 6 lug conversion on the 14 FF?

Is it a kit or did you do it yourself?

X2 and do you have enough room between the hub and the lug nuts to get a socket in there?? Looks tight

How else would he get the lug nuts tight? With a combination wrench?

IDK Smartass, I was hoping the OP would answer not you :shaking:

Kind of wanting to do this myself and it would be nice to have some ino on how it was done.

Well, you'd have to plug/fill at least two of the 8on6.5 holes (the way Bryan's are the other six holes were tapped for the bolts that hold the rotor on to the hub), then you have to turn down the OD of the hub to fit inside the hub hole on a 6on5.5 wheel (IIRC it's just over 4.0625"), then mark and drill the 6on5.5 pattern, install studs and you wont have much more to do with the hubs. Then you have to turn down the OD of the flange on the axle shaft itself unless you want to remove the shaft each time you want to take the wheel off, and still after that you need some socket head cap screws (allen head bolts) to clear the wheel and sometimes a little grinding will still be needed. Then there is the brake debacle, whether you want a parking or emergency brake.

sounds fun

Another Militia truck on pirate? Sweet. What are your plans for the Axle, and t-case? HP 60? Chev 60? Stock transfer? Are you going to keep it in the mud? Looking good..

Do you guys ever head to Shiloh Ridge in Alto, TX? I go there to ride the trails and such, but they have some fun stuff for big rigs like yours.

baw! dammit you got me there. not for long tho....madness to come:flipoff2:

chevy militia sucks i bought some shit off their sight they charged me for it then 4 months later i got it after i fought with them about it. thair just living off their parents credit card

If you had to weld the perch's on, why didnt you remove the aluminum degree shims from the spring packs?

Josh.. I was going to take them out but my spring pins needed to be replaced and I didnt have any and didnt want to drive 30 miles to go buy bolts.

when I do the shackle flip I will go to a metal shim in what ever angle i need.

I am not sure yet what axle I will run.. I guess what ever I find the best deal on. If I get a chevy 60 i will run a np241 on my 60e untill i destroy it then swap in a turbo 400/205. I am starting to shy away from mud and get into the trails.
