Hey twentyfoot me and a couple other guys are gonna be heading to interlake here in the next couple weeks. Would you be interested in going? We're not gonna do anything very hardcore. I'm just on 31's and his is his DD, but maybe you could show us around a little?

I will be at Interlake this weekend making sure my Jeep is ready for a Harlan trip. I would be happy to show you around.

After this weekend I won't be able to go back until the end of June. I am going on an offroad trip then straight to Outerbanks, NC.

You must have been locked into 4-low for that!

I took my little girl on a Jeep ride yesterday. Dropped the top and pulled the doors. She had a blast. We had to run a quick errand again later in the evening, so she grabbed her mom's hand and run out to the Jeep yelling "Jeep! Go! Fun!". That's my girl!

Can someone here educate me on wheels? What pattern do Jeep Cherokees take? My google-fu is weak

Ambu did that manual I linked you to help with your recovery questions?!

Anybody be interested in a rear Dana 44 built for an XJ by Currie Enterprises? Needs a shaft, bearing for that shaft, and brakes. Was gonna hack off the mounts and weld ones on to use it in my ZJ, but my tow rig needs tires more than the Jeep needs a different axle and front re-gear.

my land rover is springs all the way around? getting to be too much of a money pit tho.. might see it in the classifieds one of these days.

4 Jeeps in the garage.... My CJ3B (in pieces all over the place), Dad's CJ3B (red and green), one of Dad's customer's GPW (in for some final tweaking after a restoration), and another customer's YJ waiting on a lift.

Buzzing around in the '53 CJ3B in the woods and taking the GPW out and about on a few test drives really makes me want to get mine finished up.... It was bad enough that I started to debate on selling the YJ again.

Yep. My CJ has been SOA for a while now. 1.5" lift YJ springs from Rubicon Express. Flexes like mad, and clears 37" tires pretty well.

SOA gives you lots of lift for cheap (6-7", depending of the diameter of the axle tube), but has its own set of issues.

More info needed. Pretty easy to build a sure stable and flex SUA. We had our butts handed to us in RRock by a SUA Willy linked in the rear.

It's on a CJ7. I would be using the original springs. Well maybe some yj's in the front.

If you go spring-over, I'd suggest some YJ springs front and rear. The CJ springs are arched, so will give you a TON of lift. They will also give you a ton of axle wrap in the rear. The YJ springs will reduce the lift a bit, will ride better, and will flex like crazy.

Either way, you will likely need an anti-wrap setup for the rear, or invest in lots of extra springs and driveshafts.

Longer brake lines, re-route your parking brake cables, longer driveshafts (possibly with longer splines as well. Maybe even a CV joint for the rear). Your steering will likely need re-worked (the drag link will hit the springs, and the angle will be pretty severe). I'm sure I'm missing a few things.....

It MAY be worth it to you. Or, it may just be easier to get taller springs and stay spring-under. Or cut out the rear fenders for clearance (TJ flares, and trim the body to fit).
