Mikes Build

haha, and i bet ill still be finished before you evan

fuck you for being able to use a real lift and shop

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

I had the same problem with the bolt. I removed the rear seat and cut a hole in the floor above. Drilled and tapped a new hole, then welded it back up when I was done. Looks good Mike. Get some undercoat on the frame too before you end up with rust holes

[Magilla]

cut the head off the bolt and use a punch and hammer it out. Then use a piece of mechanics wire attach bolt to it and pull it through. Then I usually throw a tack on it to hold it in place

Cutting holes in your floor is stupid

[wannabejeep]

That's gunna look tits when you're done.

[XJLI]

you dont need the hands of a 3 year old, tape a nut to the closed-end side of a wrench, slide in the wrench, insert nut through hole.

viola, done.

[BlacXJeep]

lookin good man, the floor is so clean, cant believe there is no rust.

[Kyle]

You dont need to drill out the shock bolts. Take a good steel punch and hit the broken stud with that. There is a nut with 3 tack welds holding it in place. the punch will break them and you can get it out. Then you can tie some wire to a bolt and washer, feed it through from the top and drop it in. There is enough room if you have the right wrenches to get a wrench on the top of the bolt. Or you can tack that in place.

Still waiting on my drop pitman arm, \

Let me know how that works out for ya, take my advice and tell them don't bother shipping it.

1. You don't ever need a drop pitman arm, it will throw your angles off a shit ton and you'll have crazy bumpsteer.

2. You're using a high steer arm, this makes it even more impossible to run! Your draglink will be going up to the axle instead of down!

Agreed. Mike don't bother with one. this is my over the knuckle steering with 5 inches of lift and stock pitman arm. your high steer arms will be the same height if not higher. plus it will throw your trac bar angle out of wack.



note: i ran that stabilizer for like 5 min, been a year or 2 without one

x2 you definitely have no use whatsoever for a drop pitman arm.

OK STFU

I RUN A GOD DAMN DROP PITMAN ARM

they come from waggys. and have just as much drop as an xj pitman arm, but 1" longer throw

[HeavyMetal]

they come from waggys. and have just as much drop as an xj pitman arm

so how is that a drop pitman arm?

[Burton58]

I RUN A GOD DAMN LONG PITMAN ARM

[Ktmracer419]

so how is that a drop pitman arm?

because when you go to buy one you ask "oh herro, i am in need for a jeep waggynear drop pitman arm"

not "i am in need of a longer pitman arm in which to use on my jeep cheroautomobilekee for use with a dana spicer 44 model front axle"

[Even]

I'm running a stock waggy pitman arm, and it is much much flatter than a normal xj pitman.

Using a waggy drop pitman shouldn't cause any ill effects like Sam said.
