Thanks man,
Next week should be the wj brake booster upgrade.
After that will be a trans cooler and gauge.

Changed the diff oil in the 8.8 I 're geared.
Came out clean as a whistle. No metal at all! I call that a success

 

Wheeling at Bridgeport ohv park this Saturday all night. Sounds like a good night to snap the 30 shafts lol
Anyways,
I'm in COTM this month guys!
So go check out the rigs and vote!

 

Diddnt snap the shafts at Bridgeport
Loosened the u joints though.
So I got a set of 297x shafts from the yard and grinded them to fit full circle clips and put 760x u joints in them. Running my others as trail spares.
Also replaced the upper and lower ball joints as well on both sides with spicers.







Also went wheeling with my bro at rock trails of tolor tx.
He flopped his k5, I crushed a rocker lol








Now we're up to date.
Throwing this wj booster in tomorrow hopefully

 

Did the wj booster swap, like it so far. definitely more stopping power.
Hopefully frame stiffeners get ordered next week.
Then it's time to build mini boat sides and upper 1/4 pannel armor!

 

Just pics of the booster

 

Uca bushing replacement.
Maybe ordering ruff stuff one ton and run it otk tomorrow!

 

after all this work you're still running stock upper control arms? I'm new a read through most of this post but what finally cured your death wobble?

 

Uca bushings were totally shot and when I drove it today the dw was gone.
And I was thinking about getting adjustable uppers but I'm getting serious offroad long arms in the next few months so I'm riding it out until then.
I'm just torn right now between if I should spend 130$ on hd frame stiffeners or like 200$ on ruff stuffs 1 ton because it's 20% off right now.

 

Ordered 1 ton steering from ruff stuff!

 

Steering should arrive tomorrow!
Horrible death wobble is back, it came back after I played with the alignment.
I ordered adjustable uca's so can finally set the caster to my lift hight. Also ordered iron rocks hack n tap.
Hopefully between the new steering and the New ucas and a good alignment the DW will be gone for good.

 

 

Done with steering



Hack n tap


adjustable uppers
Caster set to 5.5°




And after all this.....Mad death wobble at 40+mph

 

the crappy part is once you get bad death wobble it tends to loosen or wear something else out. check track bar steering box and even steering stabilizer if you still have one with new steering. something is loose under there. even check track bar bolt holes to see if they are wobbled out.

 

thanks man! But,
Everything is tight as can be lol.
New track bar, uca s lcas, ball joints, axle u joints, steering box, steering, and hubs.
Only thing I can think of is those balancing beads in the tires or something...Idk

 

bad tires can do it also. i beat my death wobble and only took a grand to get it done.
