Just ordered boostwerks shift linkage. Can't wait to get it

 

Ordered the ruffstuff offset panhard bracket for the axle and some 3/4 Heims so I can use my leftover DOM tubing up to make a panhard bracket. Probably gonna do the steering conversion this weekend.

 

Last Saturday, I did the steering for a friend.

 

Good stuff. You're gonna have a sweet setup. Let me know if you have any questions with that linkage. It's pretty straightforward though and you're a smart cookie. I have spent hours getting my linkage to work right with my 242...lol. I'll have to redo it again when my 231 goes in (one fine day)

 

Defintely. I'm gonna pick it up from the office today after getting back home from work.

I can see it's pretty much straightforward on the t case side, but I m not sure if I would have to take off the shifter on the floor also?

 

Only if you are going to extend the shifter bracket (and do it right). From what I've seen, that's only necessary with the 242 case. The Boostwerks has an interesting T-case lever, and I think the offset holes on it will allow some flexibility. You want it to work in as parallel of a line as possible.

 

Parallel to the ground?

 

Sort of...more like parallel with the jeep lol. I can't think of the best way to describe it. The more horizontal the connecting rod is, the less binding there will be when shifting.

 

Look at what I got for free last night!

 

good score I got a 1981 m8000 free and rebuilt it. cant beat free .

 

What's that? Military winch?

This is Tuff winch. Don't know if it's good.

How do ya rebuild it?


This one doesn't have a remote or anything, it came with a fairlead and an in-cabin switch panel

 

Its an old warn 8000 lb winch i took apart soaked the everything in rust remover and regreased it all and added new gaskets and painted it.the planatary gears were rusted together and the solenoids were shot .i installed it in my new bumper but i need to get two longer cables cause i relocated the solenoid box.if your solenoids are good just use the in cab switch.

 

Ah I thought the M stood for "military".

This still work good and all, probably not gonna rebuild it.

Was thinking of getting synethic rope, just to save weight. Since I ll be mounting this to a hitch plate, to use for front and rear.

Probably running wires to front and rear with plugs.
