My 06 Jeep TJ 6speed

[MultiScuf]

Well this will be a slightly slower build than the XJ build but no the less I have to start some were hehe

[xaza]

congrats, now tell us a little about it.

[MultiScuf]

Its as a 2006 Jeep TJ with 38k miles on it. It is a 6speed which I love. Its got a 5.5inch lift King shocks in the rear Front King coilovers Long arm Kit. 35in in tires on beadlocks. 4linked in the rear - 3 linked in the front - Fully Locked

[ExplorerTom]

Those beadlock rings look familiar. Can you post a closer pic of them?

[Patrolman]

Nice ride!

[MultiScuf]

I will get one when I go to work. Its cold outside Tom

[Dutch]

Those are Trail Ready beadlocks. I had some in 16" variety on my blue XJ and then on my JK for a bit.

Nice looking TJ

[redneck23ms]

nice rig. i see you came to fort collins to get it as its been for sale at horsepower auto for a while.

[MultiScuf]

Yea I did. It was worth the trip

[MultiScuf]

Looking for Fender/Bumpers/Slider/Lock case?

[The StRanger]

Very nice !!

[jayson44]

good looking Rubi. I would say you should take it down to 3" for more stability, but I'm not sure you can do that with coilovers...

Alrighty so upgrade will be coming up This week I pretty psyched. Getting Bumpers/Winch/Gears/Tires Well post pictures as this happen.

[Jim]

I'll be the first to step out and say: Stick a winch on it and call it done for the summer. Use it as-is (pretty darned capable, it seems) and get to know it first.

Nice Jeep!!

Nice Jeep!! The dealer is buying for the upgrades so ill take it. Winch and Bumpers are going to be here tomorrow :D

[jayson44]

what gears and what tires? the tires on it look pretty good, and their really nice MTs, IMO. I ran them on my old TJ...drive quiet for a MT and get pretty decent mileage. good offroad too.

I figured that if someone spend the cash on coilovers they'd have done gears a while ago, but then again, it's a Rubi...

J.

[MultiScuf]

There are 4.10 gears on mickey Thompson

[jayson44]

yeah, I know. I was wondering what gears and tires you're going to. :)

J.

[MultiScuf]

oh 5.13s on 37s

[ExplorerTom]

5.13s..... The pinion doesn't have much tooth engagement. Hope you don't have a heavy foot.

[MultiScuf]

I lost my heavy foot when I broke my ankle :(

[jayson44]

haha, you broke an axle on that thing already? awesome. :thumb:

J.

[MultiScuf]

I meant Ankle lol

[carpenle]

Looks like a very nice rig Brandon, are you selling or going to keep the XJ?

[MultiScuf]

Looks like a very nice rig Brandon, are you selling or going to keep the XJ? Thanks. I have already sold the XJ

[MultiScuf]

Went to the colorado spring meet and got a 980 after all said on done on my first RTI ramp

[MultiScuf]

Ball joint went out last week tuesday in so we fixed them with new Synergy Ball Joints now this week its on to front end work :D

[dieseldoc]

Still needs springs! Rod end is not totally trashed yet but its a bit loose.
get the bushings and bump stops done dude.....

[MultiScuf]

Rod end is not totally trashed yet but its a bit loose.
get the bushings and bump stops done dude..... What spring rate do I need? Am I doing both my springs? Tell me?

[MultiScuf]

Well after bunch months/bills/life I am back to upgrading the TJ :D
First up rebuild my Steering :P
after all that going to 37s

Second Rebuild Front Coilovers

Third Coilovers for the rear

Going to be a long month but I psyched :D

[MultiScuf]

Still other week to go on the build/s Can't wait to show you all. Also COME TO SET THE FREE ill be there giving SWAG OUT

[Jim]

Your list from last month is complete?

Nice progress!

[MultiScuf]

Yeah everything but Rear Coilovers. dont have the time to but them in an test them

[dieseldoc]

Are they going in where your shock are??
I think emulsion shocks would have been the easier way to go Brandon. A set of sway-a-ways out back would be dam near bolt in the pull the coils.

Rebuilding steering....did the teflon liners come out of the joints or are you changing it completely going hi steer knuckle on the passenger side???

[Java]

Pics!! :thumb:

[MultiScuf]

New Steering is in will have pictures later today. Gears have clean fluid in them oil changed. Trend springs next week. Than of to WRAP shopfor surpise

[dieseldoc]

Not selling it now??

[MultiScuf]

Don't know. But I got so extra cash to spend on the rig this month so I am going to take that time to do so

[dieseldoc]

I think you should get it to 100%
And wheel it
Thats why you bought the thing.
The JKU/JK is not as tough a rig so the 06 is the one to run.

[MultiScuf]

Update: New steering is in. New Rear driveshaft.
Coming in the next 2weeks chromoly shafts Front/Rear with new fronts springs.
New Front driveshaft at some point in this.
Looking for 37s otherwise plan getting them for the 17th my B-day
After that idk where to look after this thoughts?

[dieseldoc]

You ordered tire....they are still sitting at les scwab

[MultiScuf]

I know there still sitting Les Scwab there we am getting them in couple weeks

[dieseldoc]

Good to here you are getting it sortted out. You will enjoy it a lot more once everything is right.
Hope you can keep it as it was a good buy and its the last of that model.

[MultiScuf]

I am going to be keeping for at least 1-2 years and by other daily/tow rig is the plan as of right now

[MultiScuf]

Got the steering line up new coils on the front coilover. Time to dail in rear end pulled 980 on ramp an still have 4inchs room to go.

[dieseldoc]

Ramp numbers dont mean ****.
Its how well it works in real world aplication.

[MultiScuf]

My shock are too full of nirtogen in the rear. The rear end is very stiff.

[Jim]

You're moving? (potential job change)? Where to? (same company I assume).

[MultiScuf]

Same company I just got a promotion. Don't know quite yet were we moving too. Just know that. I wont be able to travel in TJ so going to get something light/overlanderish for me or picking Truck for towing idk what route am going after I get rid but will update all you in few days :)

[dieseldoc]

[MultiScuf]

[MultiScuf]

Well you can see the breaks are somewaht clean all around the guyz pulled into the shop a couple days to look at it...
When they but it on the left the rear break line snapped so now they gotta find me line.....
Looks like other weekend with out Hiemdall :( At least works keeping me busy :) More pics come monday

[Jim]

Will you be able to clean it up and weld it back together or is additional work needed?

[MultiScuf]

Yea just quick clean up an re weld an than make a new brake line. Should take about a full day. An than I think at the end month I doing a different coil rate front I like what I have now but I wanna try something else

[96EXXLTinCO]

Those welds are horrible. I hope your having them cut out all the welds and do em right?

[MultiScuf]

Yea so I bought the rig as is(i know not to do that again from somebody) Its given issues but I work through I was finally about through an start upgrading what hadn't been.. til this happened.... so yeah but it all cleaned the shop I go to does nothing but 12/10 work so yea ;)

[96EXXLTinCO]

so yeah but it all cleaned the shop I go does nothing but 12/10 work so yea:thumb:

[94ToyBear]

It Looks like they have been broken for a while !!! I'm really glad now that you towed it home, great call, I think you should not worry about the coil overs and 're che k every but and bolt on it, also inspect all work that was done to it before you bought it, and recheck all the work you did as well. Then you can consider other work like coil overs and what not.

They went over over everything anything. It was going in for it Yearly check up anyway. So it all kinda just happened at the same time ill take it though. Could have been worse.

They did it Or you? I would not trust anyone other then my self to check things over such as that.
I suggest you do it once over your self, if you don't know how or what should be check ask/pay the shop to teach you while it's on the rack.

[94ToyBear]

I think you should make a check list of what and when to go over nuts and bolts

[dieseldoc]

Something sounds familiar about the last stament.

Teaching moment, here. After all, what good does it do to be mad at someone else when you're broke down on the trail?

[MultiScuf]

I Agree an disagree with you on this statement yes it a teaching moment but is I break on the trail than I break ont he trail I don't let it annoy me. My shop is just there for me when I need. I went through it on Sunday.... Found out my steering box is shot so not I just looking at other route

[94ToyBear]

Annoy???

[dieseldoc]

So what happened to the steering box?
You say its wasted......well how is it wasted??
Snaped slopy what?
There are specs on how much "freeplay" a steering box can have.
They are rebuildable.
And generaly unless its snapped the box its self will be good.
Seal inside may be blown. But I highly doubt the sector shafts have damage....

So what is the resion the box is trashed?

[MultiScuf]

So what is the resion the box is trashed?
I don't know I haven't wheel it in 2-3months...
Its seems slopy according toshop it still driveable I just dont know whats up

[Chris]

A shop's dream, a customer that doesn't know what's what and listens when they say it seems sloppy. :erm:

[Serious Offroad]

obviously in need of a new kaneuter valve and some flippin-floppin valves.....

;)

[Jim]

Don't forget the muffler bearings and blinker fluid!

[MultiScuf]

Don't forget the muffler bearings and blinker fluid!
Yeah I got all that last week. I think the bearing will go again though so should I replace it or what?
Nah it sloppy like when I turn my it take couple extra turn in the wheel to turn it either direction. It still drive straight its just taking extra work to turn it. The bolt/nut/washer are not staying tight to the steering box... So it kinda all over the place at what it could be...

[ExplorerTom]

So your steering box is not secured to the frame. Yeah, that will cause sloppy steering. Get a lock washer or double nut it or something.

[MultiScuf]

So your steering box is not secured to the frame.
No I don't know how to explain ill take pic tomorrow an show you all. Happy Thanksgiving all

[redneck23ms]

sounds like maybe the pitman are hole where the bolt for the draglink goes through it is worn out. a competent welder can weld the bolt hole up and re-drill a new hole.

[dieseldoc]

Seams sloppy or is
That is a huge difference.
I beat on mine far harder than you do.
Steering box is fine.
The pump on the other hand is not so happy it has started whinning like a FORD pump.

Dont do a part just couse they say it feels sloppy!
Make them prove to you it wasted.
Like I said before there is not much in a steering box that will fail.
Some seals thus letting the psi from the pump to flow by thus not assisting the box.
As the wear in the over center will come out of addjustment and that will need done....
Old boxes have a jack screw to reset over center but new ones not so much.

The TJ box is not the strongest out there but it is a good box compared to the jk box....

[88Toy]

No I don't know how to explain ill take pic tomorrow an show you all.

Full hydro?

[dieseldoc]

No he is stock.

Brandon get me some good pics I will help you know that.

[MultiScuf]

Brandon get me some good pics I will help you know that.
I will as soon as I get chance to take pictures. I been out an about all weekend with family so not much jeeping

[MultiScuf]

Well looks like if everything goes good in the next couple days good bye. Ford/DD
