is this a trailer queen?

98CherokeeSport May 14, 2010 12:21 AM

well i have already had a sheriff give me a talking to and said that i can only make 4 inch wide flares legally and i would still be sticking out to far. so yes im thinking it will be becoming a trail only rig soon

trailer queen is the only way to go. wheel all day, load up jeep on trailer and then get into my rig with heated leather seats! love it!

FYI heard Evan is going to limit axle width to 72" or 73". Stupid idea but FS says it will be enforced soon.......

Why didn't you narrow the axles?

edit: and did you buy hi steer arms for dedenbear knuckles?

they have talked about that for years but i dont know if they will start enforcing it. about 75% of rigs are wider than that outside of tire to outside of tire. and if they do then i will just go up there during the week :)

i didnt narrow them because i didnt have the money to narrow them and get custom shafts. i dont mind how wide it is. it didnt hold me back one bit at evans. and it also helps with the lower center of gravity. and now i used stock knuckles with dana 44 flat top knuckle studs and a balistic fab high steer arm

they have talked about it for years. June 1st they will be enforcing it is what the letter said to a member on NW-Wheelers. going up there during the week? come on. I hope you are joking. That's the attitude that gets parks shutdown. :tt2:

a few pictures i forgot to post. got the box drilled and tapped. the top hole is drilled right at the seam on the box all the way through to the inside of the box. the lower hole is drilled just a little bit until it reaches a small channel that runs through the bottom of the box. tapped with a 1/4" NPT tap

some good fab work but that jeep is officially not invited to browns camp ever. nothin personal just I dont think it would ever fit down anything.

Full size axles fit alot more places then people think. Their not that much wider then scout or wagoneer axles or even toyota axles with off set wheels and wheel spacers. Ive been on full size axles for going on 6 years now and i have yet to run a trail i dont fit down.

ya people think when they hear the word "full width" that it is the widest and ugliest thing they will ever see. as i have said before, the rear is only about two inches wider on either side and the front is a few more. i have been to browns camp with wider rigs than me with no issues. cant wait to prove all these people wrong ;)

anyways... so today the brown man brought me some goodies! my ram, hoses and fittings for my hydro assist came along with the portable mig welder my dad ordered

this it true. my only concern would be DNR and how they will be in the next year having width restrictions and enforcing it. Spoke with Mark last week with the DNR and they have to come up with a width restriction before they open up reiter. Evans to he said will enforce there restriction around Aug/Sept

how was the taping the box? easy? those steering box pieces look intimidating to put back together.

how the quality of the hoses and ram?
