thanks for the link..but..for now..i'll pass..lol..i've got to get this thing back together....wayyyyyyy before i worry about 2x4 to 4x4..lmfao...my '89 is full time 4x4..and it doesn't bother me at all for stearing..i'd rather leave it full time 4x4..that way i won't have another moving part..like...maybe a spring ????..lmfaooo.mess up on me.

 

[tlshnaekel]

all true shade. those things are great with the exception of a piss poor spring. engineer for warn should have his fingernails cut too short for that screw up.

i agree on the engineer part !!!..lmfao..right now..i'll leave it alone..i've got alottttttttt of engine rebulding to do..full time 4x4 is the least of my worries..lmfao.

 

[J McWillis]

I busted up my bars and threw some rincon bend bars on, cut the steering effort in half. Plus, they're tall enough for me to comfortably stand and ride at just shy of 6ft. So I'll take 40 bucks over 275 anyday. Haha.

But, back to topic. Nice buy! Can't wait to see it all back together.

Let us know what was wrong with it when you figure it out.

 

[bobami]

Shadetree Wow if this is one of the best ones you've had to rebuild I'd love to see a pic of worst one. Based on the help you've given me I have no doubt you will turn this diamond in the rough into a real Gem!!! Looking forward to checking this thread with your progress. I cant beleive how many parts the engine is in.

 

[TRX2fiveO]

I agree^^^ although that seating area looks a little uncomfortable...LMAO
