Y link adapter broke on swampthings as well thats when he lowered his back down

ohv_kj · **Posted:** Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:48 pm

it could work great but it needs to be tied in w/ each other...both brackets are working independently to each other... thats why the front one bent forward and the rear tore out...if he would change it to one solid peice that would work better

Could you weld it together or am I not understanding how it works?

I have one coming and am planning on looking/changing what ever to make it work ...maybe :lol:

But from what I have seen it seems if it was welded together it would make it a whole lot stronger and would eliminate some possible flex, also will be doing some measurements before/after on degree changes on the driveshaft/pinion

Let me know if it is doable and worth the effort. Thanks.

So, on the DL...
I was at RE a couple weeks back and saw a prototype WJ Long Arm in the Black Room.
It kept the stock configuration in the back. Just like the KJ... had about 6" of lift on it with a big ole Super Joint Boomerang.
Maybe you should check it out. You sure as hell didn't hear that from me

Although it should probably be launched next month in Vegas anyway.

Would solve the problem anyway.

well got the long arms done and thought it would look nice w/ some 35's...the 35 will be my street tires and beating around Wilmington....my 33/1350...will be more for flex and articulation when going to places like uwharrie...these pics are close to my house just fulling around...needed the upper coil-over mounts to be redone as well, so brought those down to give me more drop and they are thicker metal so less likely to bend...the front was also raised about two more inches due to A. it had a small rake and B. and the coil-over mount brought it up...it looks pretty even in person...a lot has been redone sense the problems i ran into...the new shop i mentioned did all the new work ...new steering box from a WJ...Stronger draglink and trac bar...new arms all round...front is 4 link w/ trac bar...rear is triangulated 4 link...front and rear lockers...456 gears coming soon and bumper... i lost 1 of my front flairs on the trail...??? :oops:

??? so i took the other off to match...if anyone has a grey front drivers side flair...let me know and enjoy

almost full up travel for the rear have about 1or2 inches to go up

Looking good there James ! nice flex shots

bugnout · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 4:23 pm

Looks good

What are your plans for the front flares? I assume you removed them because they keep getting pulled off by the tires.

Inc · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 4:45 pm

Looks like it is time for a front bumper as well.

ramlebliberty · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:11 pm

aww you took the baja claws off!?! what are you doing this weekend!? It needs some mud on it to bring out its character.

i got a new camera!

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:38 pm

Looking good. So how about that budget? Shot all to hell yet? :wink:

What does the underside look like? Got any pics of the underneath, rear suspension, front suspension, belly, etc?
Some nice detail shots would be nice for those looking to go this route.
