Hey, don’t mean to be critical here, so much as hopefully helpful. I’ve noticed on a couple videos that you guys tend to run larger drill bits too fast. Consider 0:16 in this video, where the drill is running full speed with the big bit in it. This generates a lot of heat, expanding the material you’re drilling into, so your hole ends up a bit tight after cooling. It also cooks the drill bit and softens the cutting edge, greatly shortening the life of the bit and just making for a worse result. When drilling with a big bit like this, drop the drill into its lower speed setting if it has one, or just try and avoid holding the trigger down all the way. Unless you’ve already ruined the bit, you should see it do a much better job of cleanly scooping up the material and ejecting it without quite so much heat. You should also drill a pilot hole roughly 1/4” in size before stepping up to this bigger bit. Anyway, happy trails!

Frm long ago in my trainee days the cutting speed for a high speed steel drill in mild steel is 100. To determine the right rpm it is 4 times the cutting speed over the diameter. So for a 1/4” drill 4*100/(1/4)=1600 rpm, for a 1/2” drill 800 rpm etc

Few quick things to note: Unless you are going to add a track bar that uses a drop bracket you need to go back to a stock pitman arm as you have induced bump steer by changing the relationship between the two. The front coils will be much easier to install if you had installed the new control arms first and left the bump stops and spacers loose inside the coil. You will also want to change out the front bump stop extension for one that installs on the axle side coil mount as putting them on the upper mount makes for coil "twang" at full droop. Since you have gone with adjustable arms I would ditch the cam bolts and get Johnny Joint Washers from Black Magic Brakes so you can use regular bolts instead. Make life much easier down the road. Since you are gong with a Double Cardan rear shaft you will want to get an angled rear track bar bracket like the ones from Rock Jock or JKS. Once you start raising the pinion up the track bar will bind and be pushed into the gas tank skid.
@sardog2049
4 жыл бұрын
Agree with all of the points. The only thing that I did differently than what you said was to use an adjustable track bar made for that length from Metalcloak to avoid having to use a bracket. However, that said, I had already removed the original bracket and had installed a newer, heavy duty bracket from Currie on the axle to replace the original which had cracked at the weld seam.

@@tomsawyer5576 A dropped pitman arm causes the draglink and the track bar to go out of parallel. In a nutshell-this will cause the jeep to turn as the suspension cycles (bump steer). This doesn't necessarily mean that installing one is a bad idea and its really the only inexpensive way to get your jeep lifted without having to spend hundreds of dollars on an entire new steering system. I used a dropped pitman arm for a while (I couldn't afford everything at once) and the steering was manageable. Now I run the Currie kit and it is for sure a huge improvement.

The front trac bar and drag link need to be parallel to avoid bump steer...drop pitman arm disturbs this relationship. 2: Get rid of that rear trac bar relocation bracket and upgrade to an adjustable trac bar. If you wheel the jeep the extra leverage caused by the relocation bracket will eventually tear the mount off the axle. Great job, I've dealt with the same issues many times!

Having adjustable length lower arms is what sets your caster...you won't need that adjuster cam for alignment. Think about this, XJ front D30R is a direct replacement for the TJ D30. 2 major reasons for swapping a D30 for a D30R is high pinion layout and that the XJ pinion is shim set, not like the TJ where its crush sleeve set. Everything will bolt across as well. Unit bearings, steering, brakes, front ds. Note though, caster for XJ is set off the frame mount, TJ is set on the lower CA mount. So using the adjustable lower arms, that is where caster is set. I've updated my 97 TJ with the 96 XJ D30R and 01 Explorer 8.8. Both geared and locked running on 35s. Best to double check that rear bump stop spacer by articulating the axle. Check the shock. For your spare tire setup, flip the 2 over 1 to be 1 over 2 or rotate on the 5on5 bolt pattern circle. Drill holes, spot weld the bolts on the back side. Suggest: reverse the rear lower CAs to have nut head on outside and nut on inside. Look to upgrade both upper upper CAs since they are thin stamp steel. Upgrade those upper CA bushings to polys. Remove the rear track bar riser bracket, toss in an adjustable articulating track bar. Same for the front track bar, replace with adjustable articulating track bar. Weld on skid brackets to the front lower CAs, to help strengthen the bracket. Fab a nut plate for the rear upper shock mounts (knock out the spot weld nuts). Add longer front brake lines (aftermarket or YJ).

Hey there guys! I was passed down a 2004 automatic tj from my late grandpa. My father had a local shop installed a 2.5” rancho lift kit on it with 17 inch wheels and 33” mud tires a few years ago. When going through somethings, I started questioning the lift kit install especially since I think the ride feels super rough. I’m not sure if it’s the tires or something to do with the install if lift kit. I don’t believe anything new was installed besides the shocks and springs. Should there have been spacers, new control arms, and sway bar links like your 4” lift kit installed at the time the lift was installed? I do not believe the shop had much experience with lift kits. At the end of the day, I’m trying to figure out what needs to be done to improve overall ride. Should I replace the tires with an AT tire (great choice on bronze icons btw!), install a new lift kit with sway bar links and control arms, or do maybe do both? Thanks for the help! Love the videos.

Dropped pitman arm is going to be a problem because the drag link and control arm will no longer be parallel. Hello bumpsteer. Also, a 4" lift will require some clocking of the rear axle with the Adams double cardan since the rear U joint should be in an unflexed position and you'll find the rear track bar relo bracket should've been an angled one. Also, not sure your OCD will allow bowed springs! :) It's really a cascade of issues when lifting more than 2". But hey, am loving watching you guys have fun!

I think Eric is onto something here. I’m convinced your 50% more efficient with the Japanese welding shoes on. Lol you’ve encountered challenges every other time you’ve done suspension work, so why would this be any different. Two hours and six cups of ☕️ later 🤣 I’m glad Jordan really loves those wheels cause that’s quite a bit of weight added.

I had the same problem with the leaf springs on my '65 Mustang that you had with your control arm. After I cut the leaf springs off, because I was replacing them, I applied some copper anti-seze to the bolt shaft when I put it back together. If I were you, I would do the same to your son's Jeep anywhere that you have a bolt going through a metal sleeve on the suspension. It's particularly important in a 4x4 if you plan on getting muddy. Fun video. Shows that nothing goes entirely right when working on vehicles. That's part of the fun of you have the right attitude!

Jordan: I’m looking at the GOBI racks for my 2000tj...how did you decide between the stealth & the ranger? Also, which rtt options are avail to fit the GOBI rack?

A little trick with the springs - remove the lower control arms. They bind when drooping the axle, but removing them (one side at a time), will allow the springs to drop in (even longer ones).

Too late now lol. But good advice for others. I removed the upper CAs on my grand and dropped the axle till they fell out. Then new lower CAs, springs in, then new uppers.

What did y'all use to extend the spare tire bump stops? I just upgraded to 32x11.5R15 and need to fill that gap. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
