lets hear your cheap mods that help offroad

[85mudblazin]

Money is tight so I was trying to come up with some things you can do cheap to help offroad.
Might help some people on a tight budget, so lets here your cheap mods

Throw away your anti sway bar!

 

[Tuff84blaze]

--Disconnect swaybar

--remove bolt from leaf spring clamp in the back

Thats about all the free stuff I can think of right now.

 

[muddysub]

sway bar, spring clamps and fender trimming... about it... welding the differentials if u want to/have the ability.

 

[85mudblazin]

These can be cheap to not just free

 

[kyser_soze]

Pull a $20.00 electric fan out of a salvage yard and get 20 HP.

yeah, you can weld that rear end but dont weld it with an arc welder...

 

[1985K20]

got out of crazy situations by decreasing air pressure in tires

Do a search for "Cheap mods". There are lots of posts

52"/56" springs in the front and shackle flip in the rear is a REALLY cheap mod. Had i not used my BLING BLING front shackles in the front, i would have only been in the swap the price of bolts

 

[RustBuket]

The only problem with that is you usually need x-over steering afer you do that and really long travel shocks, and then you need new shock towers....etc

 

[white-rhyno]

true, i guess i never thought into that.

If you can find a deal on front springs, a homemade shackle flip can be a great cheap mod (if you have the fab skills to do it right).

swaybar, welding or lockrights, decent nused mud tires, lower air pressure, hilift, shovel, ax, electric fans, and shaving as much weight as possible.

Please explain the spring clamp bolt mod.

 

[85mudblazin]

There are bolts that hold these clamps so that your springs cant fanout, removing those bolts lets them fan out which will increase your droop.

Any dis advantages of this? This is the first I have heard of such mod. Could be useful for my application


Cheap mod.......If you have a manual tranny hooking a bicycle brake line to your throttle line helps out a lot. Frees up your feet when you have to clutch and brake.

 

[85mudblazin]

the only thing that you should do to prevent your main leaf from bending with the added droop, is to make a clamp that will clamp the 1st and 2nd spring, yes it will limit droop a little but its better than a belt main leaf and will still help with droop.

One of My favorits is to take a 3" piece of 3/8(if I remember correctly) fuel line and hoseclamp it to the floatbowl veturi tube on a Q-jet carb. Helps out with the carb bogging and flooding it's self.
