The jeep has been un-driveable for over 2 months. Everything that could possibly go wrong with my "simple" steering/brake upgrade has. I am tired and out of money. Oh, and I still can't drive it.

That does suck. If you need a hand you know where to find me. May not be much but may get the work done a little faster.

Buying the wrong stuff, buying stuff that don't work together, waiting on companies to take their time to ship, waiting for the weather to cooperate, waiting on someone to weld for me, having the threaded inserts get warped by welder, needing expensive taps to fix warped threaded inserts, buying expensive new tools that will only get used once....


Really wish I knew people that had done this junk before, figuring this kinda stuff out on your own with minimal fab capability and no experience doesn't seem to be working out so well.

Yeah, your right...... I'm putting a 3rd into it now. The 1.1's is why I started this Rcrc addiction. I thought since I would have some down time in wheelin, I'd get it through this. I didn't know it would turn into this.

Don't get me wrong here, I love wheelin the yota and zuk's, but it can be more of a hassle than fun. I turn wrenches for a livin, and the last thing I want to do on my weekends is fix my sh!t or a buddy's. This is the only reason my rig isn't fixed. Btw, Paul we need to weld that junk! When and where are we going on that wheelin trip?

Yup, standard Chevy 1-ton TRE stuff. Just not cheap, especially to use once. I tried a couple tire/alignment shops today....none had anything.

Don't loose faith in the 1:1!! Yeah its more money, time, headache. But the reward is SO much more! Destroyer, if you need anything welded just let me know. I'm in Flowery Branch.

BTW... is this wheeling hard enough?

We road all the hardest trails in the Moab trail book and with all the traction its' really not that difficult. Area BFE outside of moab is where we really had fun.
