Yess sir!!!

I just took my off completely. For some reason it won't let me post any pics. You don't have to pay me, just help me and beer me.

If you go to the Show it Off section and look for the Black Widow on the Peligreen Trail, you will see pics of my baby. I will search for it and bump it to the top.

Here's my before/after with stock brushbar...

and here it is after me not knowing any better about the brushbar's "Recovery" points...

Badger · 08-12-2005, 10:57 PM

Cool!! Thanks!!
!t took about 1-1/2hrs. I gotta get a steering skid plate, as you can see, I am vonerable.

Badger · 08-12-2005, 11:01 PM

It's all there...

Badger · 08-12-2005, 11:15 PM

Dude, thats sucks! That really sounds awful.

01001010 · 08-13-2005, 09:06 PM

Ah it was fun, and I learned a few things, plus a made two new buds....every experience out in the Rover has great!

Badger · 08-13-2005, 09:16 PM

True, true

Oh, where and what is the rubber coupling?

01001010 · 08-13-2005, 09:23 PM

Since you were talking about the 2" lift, I think he was talking about the RotoFlex, which is the Rubber "coupling" that connect your rear propshaft to the rear diff. With a lift, the rubber will crak a bit more than it already has (9 year old trucks DEFINATELY have some cracks at the rotoflex), this will cause funky vibrations while driving. So you change it to a U-joint connection, similar to the front propshaft, and similar to the way most propshafts connect to the rear diff on other vehicles.

Badger · 08-13-2005, 09:28 PM

Oh, ok. I can get my older brother to help me with that.

01001010 · 08-13-2005, 09:29 PM

This article applies to both of us, since I too still have the stock Roto Flex in...

As for the Lift Kit, you should also check out the same site above, 4x4AG, for the Scorpion Racing Standard Lift kit. Again, HIGH QUALITY product for a lot less than the other stuff, the Standard Kit atleast. The Evolution Kit will run ya a pretty penny

Badger · 08-13-2005, 09:39 PM

This is all really good info. Its just going to take me awhile to upgrade, I have to start paying for college. But I am definetly going to buy a new dampaning shock and steering skid first. Thats whats mist needed.

That article will help. Thanks.

01001010 · 08-13-2005, 10:07 PM

No prob bud...

Badger · 08-14-2005, 05:51 PM

Hey!
I was just under my rover. The guy who had the truck before me already had installed u-joints. Thats one thing of my check list.
