driveshafts hit the same rocks that your links do, and twist. I dont chance losing something like a d-shaft.

that's what I was gettin at foo. I would think DOM is good too since it'll be more concentric than pipe or HREW. Easier to balance (or not even need it).

:icon_surprised: :shok: Wow. How?
big tires, tough rear axle, heavy foot, big power....

I twisted two just like the first pic on my 79 CJ. Most likely will do the DOM thing to mine once i put the 14 bolt back there.

That's nuts, I could see it with aluminum, but not steel.

no, I used it to trace out onto my other strap.

I made my own 90* oil filter out of the stock exploder stuff.



I pulled the through bolt out of the bolt that holes the cooler onto the 90* fitting.

Cut the threaded/flanged ends off, put the allen key through to make sure they were perfectly straight, and welded them together.



Its not a ballistic peice, but I had an extra skull and they look cool. Finished battery tray/top.





aluminum cover for the 5spd hole. crawlbox shifter modified, and Winters Rock-gate installed, on the trans side as well.
