The lift plus the 33s bit stock gearing I believe it's 3.73

 

I like to ask questions cuz I don't know shit.

 

Agreed

 

4.56. your trans will thank you if you tow alot.

 

No. You want to buy my 4.56s so I can get 4.88s

 

Grimmjeeper.com will help you calculate what will get you a stock RPM range, I believe the trans you have if you're an auto is A750F.

 

If you've got a heavy truck with 33's, I'd have to lean to the 4.56 also. I did it on a DCLB heavy built truck last spring and summer and last I spoke to the owner, I haven't heard any RPM complaints. I didn't notice a difference in his truck with 4.56's and 33's compared to my ACLB truck with 4.56's and true 34's. Do you have a stick or auto?

 

Coming along, stole @Chux 's idea that he got from @2012Taco for the drawers, I think I might have to add more bearings towards the end to hold the weight better, and I really should have used 3/4" plywood instead of 1/2" might replace the sides holding the bearings later down the road.

 

That's cool!! And man, that is a lot of bearings!

 

I think the FJ club is doing Rausch next weekend too?

 

Already have 4.88s.

 

Looking good! I would definitely add more bearing closer together at the end. I figure more the merrier. The weight of the drawer open was my biggest concern for failure. I also kept the bearings close in the beginning as well, possibly overkill but definitely strong when closed going down trail. An issue I had when done was that the drawer would drift to the right when closing and rub sidewall before closing. I went in and looked at all the bearings, there were two that had heavy wear so I removed them and the drawer slide much straighter. Its so hard to make every bolt and bearing exactly perfectly in line. Not sure if you dug back through my build but heres my drawer build..

What does that weigh?

 

No clue but I can easily carry it and install/remove by myself

 

@Chux heading to IBSP now if you want to pick up that thing for your boy.

 

I got family and friends coming over to see the baby..

@chad_chinchilla should be awake up by noon

 

Aight NP. I’m out here.

 

Cold and windy out here. Shoulda stuck to the plan and went to Rausch.

 

Did a 30 mile bike ride. Perfect cycling weather!
