i feel your pain i put hours and hours into mine and you wouldnt believe the $$ i lost. id be interested to know what castor and pinion angle you are running it looks abit steep. good luck with sale http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/rr23/rogue142/longwoodscool.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums ...

one more thing i forgot to mention was the brake bias valve, the stupid long thing connected to the panhard rod and to the chassis , looks like a a bit of small rod, you should idealy drop that down an inch or two and that controls your rear brake percentage, i droped myne 40mm , two bolts used sum ...

But why put the bigger boots on if not to use it? On road they handle like shit, (and I don't want anyone to wank on that they don't, because they do) This is just an inherrant thing that happens with bigger tyres due to sidewall flex. Bang some 33" all terrains on it for a considerable amount less ...

Ifs also looks fugly when its ...

700's are not a cable, rather a 10mm shaft for the gear linkage but you should be able to mcgyver a cable in if needed but the factory shifter works fine and sits between the seats, just need to cut a hole in the floor to sit it in. Most people use the earlier motors as they are cheeeeep!!! correct ...

He killed a few? Isn't the TH700 pretty much the same box that sits behind a 350 on a Corvette? That said, I suppose a Corvette doesn't have 33 inch tyres and thump around the bush. To be honest, it's starting to look like it might be my best option. Just trying to work out what I need from ...

i went with t700 as it was easy, autos r smooth as rokhound said no shock loading, dont have to worry about clutch or what gear ur in most of the time and the t700 has a good low gear.with the t700 and adapting tcase on the back of it the factory xmember bolted str8 in. the t700 is a basic ...
