I would suggest more straps and doing both. Main straps should go around the axles to keep the Jeep on the trailer, secondary straps to the frame to control sway.
Corey
word. I've found that the more I compress the suspension down while towing, the more stable it feels. Without it, you can feel the jeep sway and pull you around a bit.Originally Posted by JpRngr
Lookin good dude. Can't wait to see you roll it

CodyDick. LOL!!! Im not really ready to cut the roof off yet.
Let me make a mental note. Don't let Cody spot me, he wants to see my bucket flop.. Just kidding.
Forgot to mention, brought the ZJ to the exhaust shop monday to have the exhaust peiced to gether. I had to order a smaller cat and some sort of really skinny flowmaster to fit in the spot I wanted. I think the thing is only like 5.5" wide or something. If anybody lives in the SD area I highly recomend a shop off of Miramar Road called Wholesale Tube Bending. Larry the owner is the shit!!
I notice you and I have the same front axle. I thought you might want to know that you don't have to order that kit from Dyna Trac to delete the two piece axle. All I did was shorten the long side two inches (ground off the weld on the "C" and cut the end off) and buy Dutchman shafts and an OX locker (when not locked it is completly open). Also, the two diff. seals have the same O.D. So all I did was put a seal that goes on the short side on the long side. Only cost me $1500 compared to Dyna Tracs $2895, and this does not include a locker.
Just letting you know, and if you already knew this, sorry for wasting your time.
HIJACK.......Another Louisana guy rear his head...
Welcome aboard.../HIJACK
Thanks Reshard. i did not know this. here is something you may already now. i have been doing alot of reading on pirate in the dodge board. i guess the ball joing part numbers may be the same as though in a 96 f250 if i remember correctly, or something to that affect. I think there is a a guy on there that swaped knuckeles and all outer shafte to convert to manual hubs???
So is this thing coming to Moab next week?
Don't you mean this week?
As it sit's right now my plans went to hell. First off the spools I got were the wrong spline count . So I went ahead and ordered ARB's front and rear from Peak ZJ. They should be here this week. The steering still isn't done. I have no fucking front shaft yet. And the rear end doesn't even have any gear oil in it. It has been sitting at my dads shop for the past 2 weeks. Work has kicked my ass, with 76 hour work weeks. Been pulling a few doubles a week. My wife has been on my case. Shall I go on, I could write a novel.
To sum it up, NO!! I am a bitch and won't be there this year. But when it is done I will PM you Cody so you can watch it roll as you predicted. have fun guys..
If you still want to come, I have a spare seat available.
Corey
Thanks Corey. I appreciate the offer. I wish I would have been able to go.
Here are some updated pics of the front upper axle side mounts. And the new exhaust.
i know this stearing is temp but for goodness sake please put a safety washer on this heim joint.
Lookin' good! Have you driven it yet w/o a front TB? Curious if you get less body movement than I did.
Corey
Why? It goes from the garage to the parking lot, from the parking lot to the trailer. From the trailer to the shop, and it will be taken off and go full hydro.
I have driven it a couple of times. From the exhaust shop to my dads shop at about 60 mph and it seemed stable. Relatively speaking for a half ass alignment and a shit load of bump steer.
Not going to read the whole thing but aren't all Dodge front 60's passenger drop?
Chad
not all are passenger drop. cody's and mine are drivers.
i dont' knwo the years but mines a 1999 2500 and it has the d60.
eh? a different cody perhaps?
what year is yours
i swear i say a drivers drop.
mine is drivers.
Rented an '05 3500 last week and it was a driver drop.
Kraqa,
You're either stoned or you're talking about Cody's tow rig? Cause his buggy has a D44.
Corey
I misread Billa's article. The early D60's on Dodge's were passenger drop. I remember looking at Cody's D60 in his tow rig and comented on it being reverse roation.
Chad
i was talking abotu cody's tow rig.
i was also talking abotu my tow rig. they are both 2500 with d60's.
