  • SOA pics for you

    Guys we have a ton of pics on our site (rebelrockrunners.org) about SOAs. mine's on there and we also have done Joe's as well. Look under "Andrew's Shop" for them.

    Me and Andrew can crank out an SOA out in two days. It's not hard so any questions feel free to ask. My AIM name is orangecherokee (big surprise) or drop a PM.

      Ummmm....how much $$ you got? I am closer, and could be persuaded...you do realize that you will need:
      -new brake lines
      -extended driveline
      -New u-bolts
      -New perches
      -Some form of hi-steering (new knuckles, hi-steer arm, spacer block, new drag link
      No FSJs for the time being - "I'm working on it, I'm working on it" (think Mike Meyers' SNL skit about the gut)

        Don't tempt me Jode, i'd have to start collecting what i need over time, to much to buy at once i think, or what the gal would allow. sure wish i had a list of exatcly what to collect so i could get a start. after playin in the mud yesterday i saw the deep stuff and now i want at least 34's on my jeep or bigger? i,m gettin good at draging the diferentials in the mud lol, and since i no longer have any fluid leaks,its on the other things i wana do to my jeep. maybe a tad rack? gal likes em'!

          I'll sell you my roof rack

          The list:
          $100-$200 for that extended driveline
          $80 for extended brake lines
          $20 for new U-bolts
          $20 for new perches
          $60-80 for a hi steer arm
          $100 for a new draglink
          $15-20??? New steering arm spacer
          $180 for Todds rear shackle inversion
          $560 for some 35" tires
          $500-1,000 for a shop to regear your axles
          $50-100 welding shop's fee - or find a friend
          Free - fender trimming

          All prices EXTREMELY approximate - I just threw out numbers off the top of my head. ANyway, that puts you right around $1,000-1,200 before you get regeared.

          So there's the list - start buying parts with that tax return!

              guess i better start collectin' them parts..and i guess i might need longer shocks and new rims for tires as well in that list. maybe late summer or next tax time the latest..we shall see, but i'm set on getting it done some time.

                good call on the shocks - you might could make your existing rims work - especially if you get 34X9.5 LTBs or something

                          Oh yeah - and try "Dana 44" that should do the trick
