Upgraded the stock rear trailing arms to 6 degree corrected ones.



Will change the front ones too, as soon as UPS stops jerking around and delivers them too. Now over a week late compared to the rear ones. Ordered them the same time in one order but they were shipped in 2 packages.

 

Ordered the new Alpine headunit that has an HD resolution screen (720p) and wireless CarPlay and Android Auto:

 

met some people running adrenalines in Moab. They liked them.
so why rear?

 

Just wanted to "do it properly" and the price for the Adrenalin parts wasn't that much higher than doing only the front on terrafirma parts.
And got the 6 degree now compared to terrafirma 3 degree ones. (Yeah, the fronts are coming, haven't just arrived yet)

Can't say how smart etc this build is, as it's my daily driver and not going to see too much hard offroading.
Gladly I have other cars to be smart with

 

If you're running those castor corrected arms in the rear, I'd recommend swapping over to a u-joint style rear driveshaft to replace the rotoflex coupling. The castor corrected arms will decrease the life of the rotoflex because the constant flexing will create heat in the rubber of the joint, but a u-joint will soak that right up long as you keep it greased.

Nice looking arms!

 

Thanks for the tip.
I do have the drive shafts on the list to be updated at some point and haven't even looked into them that much that there is an alternative for the donut.
Just need to get a few things done before the shafts, like 2" raptor shocks to 3" terrafirmas, new front turrets, possibly dislocation cones, steering shock, a load of new metal to the sills and some for the chassis etc.

 

l what is the point wasting money on something that will mainly be used on the road according to you when it works fine as it was designed anyway ,it’s not even form over function as nobody will even see the things you’re fitting underneath 🤣

 

Don’t be a buzzkill. Nothing about these trucks is an investment so just about every purchase can be considered “wasted” by someone’s standards. I’ve “wasted” over $30k on mine when I could have bought a $15k Honda as a daily driver.

 

Well the castor corrected arms are a street drivability item, not an off road item. Having the correct length shocks also helps street drivability. The rest... Who cares, if he's got the scratch and it makes him happy. He's not making his rig any worse for street driving like these guys sticking massive rims and rubber band mud tires sticking way out the sides of their trucks.

 

Yep! You can get a Disco 1 rear driveshaft and a u-joint conversion kit from a few different sources online. It's a new seal and a different flange for the rear end to allow the u-joint flange to bolt up.

I actually did a write up on it a few years ago you can find thru the link in my signature.
