I got my PS pump taken care of. This one should work better. But, I forgot that I also need to take care of my tie rod ends.

Offline I got the tires cleaned and balanced. That made a big difference but I could still get Death Wobble when I hit pot holes or rail road tracks. Today I switched out my track bar for a better one. Now...NO DEATH WOBBLE 😀
Now I need to (1).switch springs in the front and (2).finish my rear control arms.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

Don't you currently have 15" rims? Will you go with 15" beadlocks, or move up to 17's once you wear these tires out?

I want to move up to 17's if I have bead locks.

That's pretty much what I know right now. I haven't had much time to check it out. I suspect an electrical problem.

Sorry 
I was even there from about 11:30 - 1:00. I could have used a hand too. With my dysfunctional locker I managed to get myself stuck and had a stranger, in a Toyota no less, strap me.

That sounds cool. See if you can find us a two for one deal. Of course I'll need to stretch the rear too and get a fuel cell in the back. I'll just run mud flaps on the road.

Offline Maybe I'll skip stretching the front. I could just stretch the rear about 8 inches if I comp cut it.

I think it would take more than a sawzall to cut through my Poison Spyder Crusher Corners 😈

Offline I don't want the cut to look like crap. I need a plasma cutter or trade for some comp cut corners. Of course I could use the Sawzall and if it turns out badly I could cut it all off and tube the rear 8)

You guys might as well give me a lifetime membership to the Pink Bone award. I figured out why the ARB wasn't working. Before I tell you what was wrong let me give a bit of background.
I put this ARB equipped axle in about a year ago and have been "using" the ARB when needed and was satisfied with its performance. When I did the wiring and plumbing for the ARB I went ahead and installed switches and solenoids for both front and rear ARB's even thought I still have the Detroit locker in the rear.
Well . . . . . . my front ARB never could have been working because I had the switch for the rear ARB hooked up to the solenoid for the front ARB. I always wondered why I never heard the air purging from the line when I turned off the locker. 🙄
