We are hitting triple digits. Weird, but it inspired me to get on this thing. Had to use 2 cold chisels to work them spindles off. I think I will invest in a socket spindle remover!!

I'm having a dilemma and maybe you can help since you're showing me some love on this.

1. Keep the balljoints b/c they are low mileage and show no signs of replacement needs.

2. Replace them anyways regardless, especially b/c I'm going to do a truss over the top that goes to the Inner C, they would get rocked by the heat.

 

Not that you asked me but if you suspect the ball joints are going to be exposed to lots of heat either take them out or just get new ones. Not exactly sure how grease and extreme high temps get along..

 

for what its worth replace them with some highend moogs or similar while its part then you don't need to mess with it, I always replace everything when im building axles because I don't want to be in it in a few months again

 

Went with my club on Saturday to escape the 110F conditions in the Sac area. Was 81F for the most part, which was perfect.

Here is the main obstacle, it's an off camber slab of granite. I took the straight line to minimize the off camber part. I'm still working on some other vids that show that effect better. It happens to be the more typical line for the Jeeps that are mild to moderate lift/tire size.



Here is the sketchy line, which I didn't approve of to start. I then finished it b/c of familiarity with fullsize and that FJ60 is pretty heavy.



Rigs have rolled on this spot, where the tree is.

 

Awesome driving. You really have a nice rig. I can't wait to see what it will be capable of with the new axles.


You need a new camera guy though.

 

THanks buddy. Yes, to the cameraman's defense, it was his first time using my GoPro. I can't complain....yet.

 

Honestly, get rid of the music so we can hear your baby rumble!

 

dang dude. much? jk

Here is the unedited version. I'm a purr-er.

 

What muffler do you have?

 

Boy it took you a fraction of the time to get up there compared to that yota. I got bored trying to watch the yota.
