So the steering and track bar really didn't work as well as I hoped. On bandaid #3 now, and hopefully it's all good.
I gave up on the Wagoneer arm and got a WJ arm, which is just a touch shorter and has a bit more drop.
Unfortunately the master splines are indexed differently, enough that it won't work for me given the amount of steering I have (and would like to retain).
Reaming to 1 ton. Fixturing is bojang. Bojang is my life.
Master splines hand cut out using a hacksaw and file. Yay.
Back together after installing the pitman arm a couple times to check the imprinting on the splines I cut. Track bar moved down a hole so hopefully it won't hit the oil pan when shit gets sporty.
You can see the slight rub mark from the DLE contacting the track bar lightly with the wagoneer arm.
Hopefully it works better this time.
Yes, I smashed an oil pan so hard a counterweight tried to go through it. I hadn't considered just how much my bumpstops would compress, and that the engine compresses the motor mounts when you bottom out on shit.
