i almost had one of these today from a guy hurtin for money at the gas station. we were shootin the shit about the jeeps and whatnot asked if i was interested for about 300. i checked it out, it wasnt in too bad a shape. had 180xxx, solid frame. then he throws the head gasket deal at me ( yeah it needs one done and blah blah blah) i barely have time for my build nevermind starting an engine swap/ hg repair. anyways builds comin along great man i love the waggstahhs

[WBkrazy]

waggys are sweet... i wanna find a waggy front clip for the manche....

[Magilla]

got long arms in yesterday, waiting on all the stuff for the disc brake conversion come in for the waggy 44 rear. picking up a complete grand wagoneer soon for the front 44. trac bar coming from kevins offroad. been lazy and have not reamed the knuckles for the steering god i hate doing that

some quick poser shots

[Magilla]

So after the trip to rc i found a few areas i was displeased with

My front shocks are not long enough so i will have to swap in the bilstien 12" ones i got and lower the front mount down a bit.

The rear shocks are too long and were continually bottoming out at any speed over 5mph

Want to get some more flex out of the rear and raise it a bit more, but looking for another idea instead of leafs

new tires soon

bump stoppage is needed also

[Mike]

i dont understand you

[Magilla]

how so?

[Mike]

one day you are selling the jeep, one day you are moving to florida, you just bought the tires and now you are getting new ones...

[Ktmracer419]

i ran 12's with stockish mounts

sucked balls and i dropped coils every 5 minutes

is that pic max(ish) flex?

[Magilla]

I was never selling the jeep it was phil and i screwing around. Florida is still in the back of my mind. I got the tires a few months ago but im getting a deal on something else that i would much rather have

i ran 12's with stockish mounts

sucked balls and i dropped coils every 5 minutes

is that pic max(ish) flex?

Yes max flex, i do have limiting straps in the garage

More or less it is the rear i am not happy with, the shocks are going on because i blew out all of them

[Ktmracer419]

not sure what you are running.

but i have almost exclusively run garbage rubicon express 4.5" leafs that are sagged to a 1.5" pack with a 1.5" shackle and had a good shackle angle and was always pleased with the flex.

it would be nice to find a leaf pack that is the same distance from front mount to center pin and a couple inches longer from shackle mount to center pin.

[Magilla]

could do the f150? main leaf that is almost what you described but +2" stretch, from what ive been told is it uses all stock mounting but i could be wrong. Pretty much running the same rear setup as you 4.5" sagged way the hell out and axle wrap destroyed which has to be changed soon

[Zullock Holmes]

RJ you have way more uptravel in the rear than i do, just bumpstop and you will be happy i swear.

[Magilla]

it does have a bump stop of sorts I need new leafs anyways matt need to get the ass up again
