NEEDED: samurai drag rod and a good vise

Post by **maybs** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 12:05 pm

I don't know how this thing got bent up... here's what it looked like when I took it out...

... and here is what it looks like after I straightened it some... also pictured is the reason why you should not buy the cheap Made-In-China vises from Tractor Supply.

So, I'm going to re-install my slightly bent drag rod, but I'd like to have a straight one if anyone knows where I could get one. However, it doesn't seem like it would be very difficult to cut off the ends and make one if I just had something sturdy and straight.[/img]

Do you need the drag link or tie rod? I may have an extra tie rod, but don't think I have an extra drag link until the yotas go under.

It's the drag link. I don't think it will be a problem with just the slight bend it has now. I just need to find a ball joint boot to replace the one that is cut. Would you happen to have an extra JX gauge cluster? I want a tachometer badly, and would like to go with the stock one, rather than have something external bolted on somewhere.

No, I don't have any extra body or interior parts YET.....

I have an complete extra front axle, extra front axle shafts, extra hubs, driveshafts, t-case.

I haven't even got it on the road yet, and I just picked up some yota axles for it, so I may have a complete extra drivetrain for it soon.

I have a yota transmisison and two yota t-cases that may go in it too, so I might have an extra tranny and another t-case as well.

I am twin sticking the t-case that is in it now, and shoud be putting 5.12's in the diffs.....that is if I don't swap in the toys.
