Na, I'm just having a few technical problem with the front half of the suspension... should have a fix in a few weeks :wink:

I am tempted to line x the inside... I was kinda ticked off after my route 44 cherry lime aid when all or the rear and made a mess

Thanks... I would have run it for a bit, but there was an up roar when I changed it :roll:

I think I know whats in that box. I think I have one already. You may need to do a little grinding to make it fit. Goodluck

It's the best mod a 4wd owner can do. :shock:

Installed my Jeep slush mats.

THEN it was time to get ready for a trail ride this weekend.

First I had to cut off the hooks on my tow strap.
For those that aren't very familiar with off-roading and recovery, you do NOT want open end hooks. Most places and hardcore groups will NOT allow hooks at the end of your tow strap. It's a very big safety hazard. If you are trying to recover another rig and the hook breaks or slips lose you will have a steel object flying through the air at a very high rate of speed.
I got this 10,000lb strap for a great price I just had to cut off the hooks.

Then, thanks to JeepinJarhead03, I installed my new 20,000lb recovery hitch attachment and checked it with the strap just to make sure everything fit as it should.

Yes, I installed an aussie locker...

KKeith, Did you grind on the C clips?

No I didn't have to grind the "C" Clips. The carrier in my KK had a little Extra metal and wouldn't allow the 2 centre pieces to go in. I could have removed the centre and dressed the Carrier casting but I ground a little of the locker(0.5mm). It's been fitted to my KK for just over 15000KM and I have had no problems with it.

I had a problem with my c clips. One side it tappered and if not installed to correct way, the spacer will not slide over the clip

Half installed

Mike you are playing with fire when you start modifying recovery gear. The strap you have is a tow strap for towing a vehicle with. The strap you need is a Snatch Strap. Snatch straps have no hooks fitted. If you use the tow strap to recovery a vehicle you will either damage one of the vehicles in the recovery or the strap will break, possibly injuring or killing somone.

I am an accredited 4wd instructor with a lot of years experience in 4wd recovery. Go to a 4wd shop where they know what there talking about and buy the correct gear then go and do a 4wd course and learn how to use it.

Agreed,snatch straps are not that expensive.
