Re: My 81 CJ on LP
His draglink currently from the pitman arm to his tie rod like the stock setup. I just meant if he wants to keep his geometry the same. He would need to put something together like was zach runs on his rig.BadnewsCJ wrote:Why does he have to attach his draglink to his tierod if he runs heims? Can't it still go to the knuckle?
Also,congrats Charles!

We drove it from Rockwood Manor, which is just past New River Community College over to a hotel at the interstate after the reception.

Oh ok, I thought I saw somewhere he went full high steer and assumed that meant a long steering arm with the two hole dealy.willhf1011 wrote:His draglink currently from the pitman arm to his tie rod like the stock setup.

And Charles I may have a piece of steering tube long enough for a tie rod, but I won't be able to check until the weekend of June 8th.

Re: My 81 CJ on LP
Thanks for the offer to check into the tie rod.
We are leaving for our honeymoon tonite and won't be back until the 16th. I will check back then and see what's up, although I am sure I will check in before then.

Also looking for a piece of tube for a tie rod.

Re: My 81 CJ on LP
I have a full stick of 1.5 x .120 wall tube but I think you might want .250 wall. Are you planning on moving to heims?

Re: My 81 CJ on LP
Yeah, I am looking for .250 wall.
As for the hiems, I am probably gonna start with a combo of hiems and tie rods unless someone talks me out of it completely. Now that I am married, I don't have all that extra money to spend on my junk. I want to go on the Potts run on the 15th so for now I am gonna set it up one last time like it is and take it easy on it, if I can.
I will send the PM with the measurement
Thanks guys

Thanks, its one of those that looks good from far, but far from good when you get up close.
