I wonder if has any bump steer in it?

He went in and clocked his caster to lessen the bump steer. It's a long read but a good one.

Today I began the rebuild. I moved the frame under my carport with help of my neighbor. I installed the front coils. Also got around to installing the shocks that were included with the 3.5" SL I bought from Brncomatt. The rear shocks went on but the front shocks do t work at all. I'm hoping the rear shocks work for this lift. Until then, I guess I will search out some new front shocks.

Been a while since I’ve been on this particular website. Got the rearend rebuilt and after several months no leaking of gear oil. The shocks I got do not work. So I threw them away. They were about two inches too short. Got the rear wheels back on finally it’s looking kinda like a bronco. Santa was good to me by giving me new SS hard brake lines front and rear. He also hooked me up on the front axle By getn some upper lower ball joints to install along with some new dust shields. At the moment I’m working on the front axle.
Heading about a mile away tomorrow to look at a girls 66 U13. Never knew it was in my own backyard till now. Only time will tell. Hope everyone is doing well, sorry I’m not FB following the rest of you. Maybe yaw are on Twitter?

I’m pretty unhappy to report nothing has really changed over the last year. Been deployed a lot, spent summer/ fall in Kuwait (what a chit hole). Made a lil money off that trip to buy some new axle shafts and what-nots for the front Dana 44. I need to get back to contributer status so let me give the site some money.

No fair! In 2016 I was in S Korea and in 2018 I was in Kuwait. Those trips are always in the summer and fall. I have purchased just about everything (except a gas tank, rear seat, and rad core support). I just don’t have the time with tee ball and little league ball, dance classes, CLEMSON FOOTBALL, hunting and fishing. I am seriously thinking of buying a whole new tub from DC and sell what all I have now. I won’t make that decision until this time next year when I get back from another desert trip.

Well here is my yearly update. Got my front D44 rebuilt by Chuck. He did a wonderful job and had it back to me before last Xmas. I’m currently out of the country and building my carts up. I am looking forward to seeing Chuck again when I get back. I would post pics but I can’t.
