Re: Freekin Jeep
Frank, the steel I strapped to the fork was for extra leverage due to using a hydraulic bell housing (pivot ball is in a different location so there was less leverage)

Re: Freekin Jeep
Ralph That choice was made for me 13 yrs. ago. My youngest son at the time was 8 and it was our first off roading with the Jeep. You could see the ground from any seat , sheet metal and other stuff falling off as she was trying to flex the 2 leaf racks. From the back seat I heard , Man dad , shes amonin anda groanin ! Lets call her Monalot ! So it began. It in and almost ready to start. I have free play at the pedal Aaaaaand it feels like its gonna shift with out draggin !!! Should be today. Thanks for all the mental help and wishes. FjR68

Re: Freekin Jeep
Nice story, Frank. I was just trying to be funny suggesting that with all the stuff you're doing to it, it's more like "Frankenstein". Or, a play on words with your name as well. Anyways, I like your story better. Thanks for sharing that.
