how many time has that 4.9 crapped out on you, I bought a 4.6 from titan and it lasted all of about 2 days, and warranty was crap. Just wondering if they got the 4.9 right.

Just so folks can see what it's all about, I think I'm gonna make a little vid of the performance and put it on Youtube and post the link on my frofile. If more ppl know how bad these things were, they's sell the flat-screen and buy one!!!

ummm. I don't wanna talk smack about Titan cuz they totally took care of me after the fact. It took 4 motors to get it right. They warrantied everything. It prolly ended up costing them money to sell it to me.

They started using new Skat crankshafts and I got one of the first runs. It runs really good. It has more power than I was ecpecting for sure.

Ha, Read my mind. Been tryin' to research it, but I'm not stretching or going cell. I I was thinking something like the full-traction kit does on a TJ, but I'm unsure about how to achieve cross member strength. I own wrenches, but don't fab. The double triangulated 4 link is by far the way to go, but I can't find any examples I like.

The traditional 4 link set-up like the rear of my TJ with a R.E. kit has torque steer issues as well as binding issues at full droop. It'll tear control arm mounts off the tubes or twist D35 tubes right out of the chunk...

If you know of any good sources of info, I'd love to take a peek...

I might have a set of rubber sittin' around that I could burn off. Currently the BFG's on there are about 60% on front and 20% on back as it is.. haha

Bein a newbie, I'm gonna ease into the video thing as I'm not sure how productive my forum time will be as of yet. I have a few vids on my FaceBook that I can put on Youtube and make available.

That sounds good, any videos of it would be awsome, after all we dont get to see many people who have the money to put the 4.9 in
