"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Supertaxion Tire wear

« on: May 29, 2020, 03:07:27 PM »

 Anyone else experiencing abnormal wear on you Supertraxion Tires?
 
 All my tires are at 30 PSI, the front tires are extremely worn in the middle... If they were on the edges I would think alignment, center tire PSI, but since all four are the same I can't see that... Anyway, I have about 5000 miles on these tires, I just rotated them today to help me get more miles out of them.

 At this point it looks like I'll get 10,000 miles out of a set of tires

 Thanks in advance

"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Hat channel transition piece

« on: September 14, 2016, 06:24:27 AM »

Would you say that the tunnel transistion piece to the hat channel is butt welded?

I got mine from Classic Enterprises and can't decide if it is supposed to butt together or go over the hat channel...

At the moment it does not sit right trying to overlap it. But I hesitate to trim it back without asking

One picture is Tims and the next is mine and what I am dealing with

"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Transfer case mount

« on: September 17, 2014, 08:40:57 AM »

I am trying to get the transfer case mount off of my crossmember before I have the frame sandblasted and painted and was going to attempt to reuse it. I have tried a hammer to get the thing off. Is it just stuck with rust, or is there something else I don't know?

 I am sure this question is rudimentary at best, please bear with me.

EVERYTHING ELSE, General tips / Driving a 3A

« on: October 27, 2015, 11:48:47 AM »

So, having never actually driven a 3A under power, or any older Jeep for that matter. What will be the proper 2 wheel drive shift arrangement? I am assuming left shift on Transfer case in the "Out" position and then the right shift in "Neutral"??

Thanks sorry for the elementary issue, but I need to ask... Will be test driving within a few weeks I hope.

Gearboxes and axles / Spindle Attachment

« on: May 09, 2015, 12:37:37 PM »

I am having a serious brain fart. I cannot remember if there is anything like a gasket of some sort that goes between the spindle and the steering knuckle. I have not thrown away any parts but I don't have anything that looks like it would go there. The surfaces look way to clean to have not had something there.

Also, the bushing in the spindle seems to have some weird grooving is that normal
