Re: PROJECT: Pokey

My last rear drive shaft was too short and after every wheeling trip my lower ujoint was trashed. I always carry them like they are going out of style.

Looks like i'll just run it. Hasnt given me any problems so far.

With your short little shocks up front, you should be fine for sure.

Re: PROJECT: Pokey

Wow I didn't know those were still actually available. My local Napa looked at me like I was from another planet when I asked them about these. I think I'll buy myself a set before long.

Aaron - go get your alignment checked. Stock specs on D30 and D44 EB axles were much like Ryan's diagram: \\==0=//. An easy way to tell is to get your tread dusty then drive on clean pavement and look at your tread. If yours is like most of ours, the outside of your front tires will get cleaned quicker than the inside. If you've got a few miles on your tires, the fronts will be a little more worn on the outside than the inside.

Re: PROJECT: Pokey

Tony has bigger tires so it is more pronounced. Mine was real bad. But i didnt notice a problem with yours Aaron

Re: PROJECT: Pokey

That picture is a little deceiving, as the rig was not on totally level ground - its kind of an optical illusion... but Ryan is right, its more pronounced on mine than on rigs with 33s.

Sewing is hard. But now im rollin' with a safari top for $80.
I mad it out of sunbrella instead of vinyl. This material is 0 stretch, water resistant, mildew resistant, UV resistant. I know it will hold up to the weather but lets see if my sewing skills are just as good. (doubt it)
The best part is that i dont get the "BALLON" effect when driving on the freeway.


(the spots on it are just seeds from the tree I am parked under)
