James - that change we did was nothing... that was before the giant plate steel skidplate which is warped and no longer "bolts up" without a fight.

RobSinclair Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I was wondering about warpage. Do you think some steel cross members welded on the backside would have kept it straighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I was wondering about warpage. Do you think some steel cross members welded on the backside would have kept it straighter? There are steel ribs welded on the back. I believe the issue is that I was unable to secure one of the corner bolts on the skid (where it meets with the stock skid). It's warped right on that side. I think if it had the bolt in it would not have been able to bend. I couldn't get the bolt in because of how badly warped my stock skid plate was.

RobSinclair Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Ahh. Well hopefully I will not run into that issue as I am replacing my smashed stock plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a quicky play around the back of the speedway too....found a big shale pit and a ton of old tires There are thousands of old race tires out there. The pit is pretty cool. I'd like to see if any of the trails from it go anywheres cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailwalker Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just ordered http://www.quadratec.com/products/13131_310X_PG.htm also bought some tires and looking at rims:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightpath Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Bought a replacement axle for $40 (Chrysler 8.25), so I've decided to school myself a bit on what they're all about instead of imagining leprechauns whipping hamsters inside the rear pumpkin. Have it pulled apart now with both axles out. Refreshing it, taking off a bit of the rust and all that jazz. Going to replace the pinion seal and 2 wheel seals after the paint dries, and maybe the wheel cylinders (might reuse the ones on my current brakes). Next up is the reassemble then taking it over to a buddies and putting in a 2" or so lift. Giggity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Took the front locker out and sold it last night Why'd you get rid of it? Axle upgrade or parting the Jeep out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 My guess is too many broken front axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
