went to the JY today and found the shaft I was talking baout and it was the same thing as what I have now pretty much, may have been 1/2" longer at max >

so now I gotta figure something else out

oh yeah and there was a beast of a XJ with 33x10.5x15 Super swampers in there, it was too bad teh tires were crap or I would be on intercos right now

RABBLE RABBLE

Should be ordering a Tattons rear driveshaft tomorrow and getting this turd back on teh road

I have Jeep Fever and need to drive it again also Need to still get some rubber

Slayfan21

SO mad, SO MAD
I sold my AR wheels and ordered some soft 8s
Then I was gonna order some 32" Kenda Klevers and they are sold out now
so then I find out my Driveshaft wont be here till Friday
So I call Goodyear and get a quote of $950 out the door for 4 33x1250 Duratracks
with a $120 mail in rebate and 6mo same as cash, not sure what to do yet

I run the kendas. The mts are sweet the guy at the shop told me to send them back but I told him if he didnt want to mount them id go somewhere else. So he did and theyre great. Ive had zero problems. Theyre great offroad with traction, they look agressive as hell, and they have awesome road manners. I recommend them and dont let anyone tell you they are cheap. I know tons of people who love by kenda tires. I say go for it.

Well just got 4 33 1250 Duratracs out the door for $898 Plus the $120 rebate and 12mo Same as cash WOOT WOOT

pose-in in need of some fender trimming

Slayfan21

Did a bit of trimming and got quite a bit more clearance up front
Now if my rear shaft would just show up

XJBear

Looks good man!

Slayfan21

Thanks, thinking about taking the flares off altogether now tho

rear was rubbing when I flexed it out in my ditch

Slayfan21

BEEF!

Slayfan21

Installed shims today and got my Pinion angle set I thinks

DS angle was 18* and Pinion was 16* so I think that makes it about right. I read it should be anywhere from 0*-2*

anyway still have bad vibes at 60ish, I started looking and it appears the SYE Yoke is machined off center causing runout in the shaft

Slayfan21

clearanced the yoke and the vibes diminished alot but its still sorta noisy

Almost thinking its pinion bearings. only has issues under throttle smooth as butter on decel and rolling in N

Slayfan21

okay vibes still present its really making me mad

Gonna try and find a Spicer 2-4-5341 yoke from the JY to replace the POS Rugged Ridge yoke
also gonna get a set of hubcentric rings for my wheels, noticed when I ran it on jack stands the wheels are not running concentric to the hubs

Next thing I want to do is re locate my rear lower shock mounts for clearance and to reduce the bind it caused from setting my pinion angle

after I get the vibes figured out and other stuff gonna upgrade the tie rod and hopefully re gear to 4.56 first of the year or so

Its not been a fun ride ever since I started messing with the T case and rear drive line

Slayfan21

went to pull a part today and snagged another yoke for my SYE
just so happens the front out put of a 242 T case is almost identical to the yoke most kits come with

SO GET SOME!

feels 100% better now I hope it stays that way
