Not sure about your opinion on the 4in lift. It broke your front axle! What caused that? Plus, rear springs were poping out! What was the problem? Just curious. Not being a smarta$$. Just want to know the details

Actually Troy doesn't have the JBA lift, that's Tokyojoe1965 (or just Tokyojoe over on LOST). IIRC correctly Troy's lift is pretty much home-brewed. But as far as the springs popping out, yeah that's a good question...

 

[tjkj2002]

Springs popping out=to long rear shocks and not long enough bumpstops,otherwise the JBA 4" lift is good to go,trail tested on a very hard trail.


I don't have the JBA 4" lift,just had the carnage,CV's can only handle so much hard wheeling.

OK......understood. So what was it that exactly broke the CV. Hard Flex? How hard? I wheel the sh(# out of mine and want to know the weak spots

Running trails like this--http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=1--you always take that chance.

so....where's the trail?? Looks like you guys are climbing a mountain!

Cool!

It's right there, just follow the ruts in between the rocks and you'll know you're on it

Ahh I know that evil green grease from when my CV's boot split!

Stuff's nasty feeling too.

 

[tjkj2002]

Troy, now don't tell me you drove home without the CV's head fitted to the hub..?

'Pop' there goes your wheelbearing?

You can remove the front CV shafts and still drive the KJ,the wheel bearings for the 4wd and 2wd KJ are the same just the 2wd KJ has a plug in the hole where the CV goes through.

That trail is wild,but there are wilder trails in CO,the hardest trails in CO are Independance trail,Freedom trail,Liberty Trail,and 21 Road.And the first 3 listed are less then a 1/2 mile long but can take all day.
