Not a poser!
After another extensive bunch of upgrades, I hit the trail this weekend
with a local Jeep club full of friendly and helpful folks. Not the most intense trails, but a good variety of terrain to test out the latest mods on my '94 YJ: 37x12.5" SuperSwampers Dynatrac ProRock60 Rear w/ 5.13s Dynatrac 44 Front Teraflex Revolver shackles on all four corners *Individual air springs on each corner* (These will lift any corner 4.5"! They reaaaaalllly cush out the bounces and jounces this ride used to have) Re-fabbed (3rd time!) Tire/Jerry Can carrier (had to mod to fit the: Hardtop (getting chillier; it was 42 degrees and blowing hard this morning...no upper doors that fit yet!) Borla Headers Borla Stainless CatBack Under hood "snorkle" (moved airflow entry point up about 10" with PVC elbow and Dryer ducting) Here's a particularly interesting little sluice: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/calwheeler/vnotch.html I'm hungry for more! |

I have a question about your lift. I see you have the SOA conversion done. Did you use stock springs, or is there addition lift with them? Also, did you do a body lift at all, and if so, how much? I think all the specs were on your website, but I never bookmarked the page when you posted it last time. Thanks Chris |

Chris, Using the original springs with a SOA set-up is "iffy". I've done it myself and the spring soon bent when I hit the brakes hard. At the very least, I'd add a full-length main leaf under the first leaf. The SOA gives about 4.5" to 5" of lift. After I bent my springs, I installed a set of 1.5" Superlift Springs, I've been very pleased with them. I have a slip-yoke eleminator in the rear, and a CV driveshaft by Tom Wood. I have nearly no vibration, every works great. Email me if you need more info! JP |

Re: Not a poser!
Lookin good! One heck of a project you got going there.
My ProRock60 front finally arrived and I just got it all put together with a heavy-duty hi-steer setup this past weekend. I'm running dual ProRock60s now w/ 5.13s and dual Detoit lockers. My next project (when I get the cash) is to replace the steering box/pump, then perhaps an Atlas II. I'm interested to know your opinion on those revolver shackles. I own a set, had them on for a while, but took them off with the last suspension mod I made. They sure added droop, but I'm reluctant to put them back on at the moment because I've heard bad stuff about their performance on SOA rigs while climbing steep inclines (I'm still SUA). Many say they open up like alligator jaws on the steep inclines (and/or declines) when they aren't suppose to, often causing climbing difficulties and even causing driveshafts to break. I've only heard this from the SOA crowd. SUA rigs seem to have no such problems. Go to Pirates4x4.com and do a search and you will see what I mean. Put'em to the test on a steep incline and let me know what happens :). Besides, I would think a rig would have plenty of articulation already with a good set of springie leafs and SOA.

I did this weekend. There was one pretty steep ascent that required a moderate amount of articulation, on which I had absolutely no problems, but it wasn't very sustained.

Too much is never enough! They were the first thing I put on, before the SOA. What can I say, I like having all four wheels on the ground as much as possible. And they don't just drop loose, like some of the physics experts on the Pirate boards think. It actually takes a lot of force to fully extend them, and they wouldn't be drooping/stuffing if they weren't conforming to the terrain. I haven't noticed the lack of traction some say is supposed to happen. On the other hand, I haven't given it a true acid test yet.

They add 6 inches of travel or so. If I am ever climbing/descending something so steep that another 6 inches tumbles me over, I'll count it as a learning experience and pop 'em off. ;-) >often causing climbing difficulties and even causing driveshafts > to break. Yeah, but MY driveshafts are Tom Woods ones made from Super Unbreakatanium! I've only heard this from the SOA crowd. That Pirate group seems to have a mob mentality about 'em, for some odd reason. I have zero problem with body roll and axle wrap with the Revolvers. > SUA rigs seem to have > no such problems. Go to Pirates4x4.com and do a search and you will see > what I mean. I did. Separating the wheat from the chaff, it mostly comes down to a matter of personal preference, and I haven't yet experienced any of the problems some of those dudes are talking about. > Put'em to the test on a steep incline and let me know what > happens :). I did this weekend. There was one pretty steep ascent that required a moderate amount of articulation, on which I had absolutely no problems, but it wasn't very sustained. I'll try it out in Rowher Flats soon, which is known for some longer steep trails, and report back. > Besides, I would think a rig would have plenty of articulation > already with a good set of springie leafs and SOA. Too much is never enough! They were the first thing I put on, before the SOA. What can I say, I like having all four wheels on the ground as much as possible. And they don't just drop loose, like some of the physics experts on the Pirate boards think. It actually takes a lot of force to fully extend them, and they wouldn't be drooping/stuffing if they weren't conforming to the terrain. I haven't noticed the lack of traction some say is supposed to happen. On the other hand, I haven't given it a true acid test yet.

Yep, not cheap that is for sure. That's why I only make one major mod a year. > Yeah, sounds nice. What size tires you looking to swing? Swingin 35" right now, but may step up to 37" and go SOA next spring. > But did you yourself experience any bad performance from them? Not I didn't experience any bad performance with them, but never really put them to the test since I lived in a place then that had extremely limited wheeling opportunities. I may slip them back on eventually. > Yeah, but MY driveshafts are Tom Woods ones made from Super Unbreakatanium! Tom makes good stuff. This time, however, for the front driveshaft I went with High Angle Driveline: http://www.highangledriveline.com They came highly recommended by Dynatrac and some rock-crawlin crowds, and advertise higher angles than Tom Woods with the 1350 u-joints and yokes. It costs a few bucks more, but this friggin driveshaft is MASSIVE! When I opened the package my first response was "holy sh*t!!" The tube is 3" wide from the t-case down to the boot. > That Pirate group seems to have a mob mentality about 'em, for some odd > reason.

What springs & lift are you using? The springs are two inch wide suckers the unkown PO put on to do a 2.5" spring lift. Origin unknown. I am running no body lift, just the combined SOA, spring lift, air springs, and 37" tires have that thing towering over the other JPs in the club I just ran with.

Re: Not a poser!
> How do 5.13s and 35s go together? How's your 4th and 5th on the freeway? Suits me fine. I think they go well together, but I like the lower gearing too. I can certainly go a little taller tires in the future also. In 5th on the highway, I push around 2300 rpms @ 60mph, 2700rpms @70mph. I rarely go faster than that in my Jeep. Terry. |
