just finishing up my tj and my buddys tj(wheelsofsteele). he did a 60 front w 60 rear out of a 79 ford. had a rubicon long arm so we changed the upper links in rear, tossed the rear trackbar and built a 3 link for the front. i did a 60 front 14 bolt rear,3 link front, leaves in the rear. streched to 103. i built new arms for the front and 2.5 currie joints. will post up pictures and more detail when i figure out how to get these pictures in photobucket. we started mikes jeep july 29 sun night and finishing it up today. his tj is a 1997 mine is a 2003. there is some diffrent stuff between the years.i will give detail on what we ran into.
I think I would prefer an auto in a buggy just for the ease of quick gear changes, plus I'm sure you will be using a t case that's geared low enough to not worry about it anyway?
If it were a full framed jeep I would stay with a stick because your mainly crawling then, but with your driving style.... Auto would be my choice as well...
Love my Auto, best thing I did was moving from the NV4500 to the auto... Although my next rig I want to build will have a stick because I miss having a stick shift.
More than anything, if I were building a full framed jeep with a 4.0 I would prefer a stick, but if I was building a full out buggy, or even a back halfed jeep with a v8 I would prefer a stick as well....
Personal preference in the end I guess.... Not taking away from anyone with either set up
guess i will decide the week we start bending tube. i prefer a stick anyday over a auto. they both have there plus and minus points.
have a line on a atlas. looks like a 2 speed 3.8 is what i will run.
:sonicjay:hell yes!! i am putting my 42's on it.then when i find a good deal i will get the 43's yes they come in a 20" wheel.
i need a name...was thinking about painting it all black and calling it oprah.:sonicjay:
but i have to keep my blue so it will be all blue. so give it a name beefy...
