Just try to get the trac bar and the draglink to the same length otherwise you'll get bumpsteer.

Got a new shiny zj pitman arm.

Tmr insert for Chevy draglink is welded in the Pitman, stupid 1" drill bit was dull so i turned the insert down a little to fit.

Are you gonna make any thing double shear?

Barrelmaker

I'm using tre's, so i don't think i can make it double sheer.

94XjSport94

Oh yeah lol. Forgot. I'm trying to decide if I should eventually.

Barrelmaker

If i was using heims i would put the time into doing it.
Not much different than a TRE but wouldn't hurt.

Well ive been talking to Kris today, he said packages are in the car going to ups in the morning.
Just a few weeks later than i wanted but at least ill get them.
What should i do about shock mounts... Hmm

94XjSport94

Front or rear?

Barrelmaker

I need a temporary rear setup until i can get longer shocks, i want hoops in the back.
I think i have an idea for the front.
Ill have to see how it works out.
I'm just happy to feel like ill get somewhere other than gather parts.

I like those, would you brace the top of the hoop any?

94XjSport94

Still waiting on a shipping quote, but im pretty sold for the price!

I might connect the two with a piece of tube, i dont know how much bracing it will need. Mounting to the unibody will help compared to a floor mounted hoop i guess. Probably depends on how high you mount the hoop too.

OMG! got a wonderful email about a package on its way! It'll be here the 18th.
