Thanks jOe. Picked them up last night and started on the WB, almost done with that part of the build. |
^ cool! gotta get a pic up! |
round tubing the round tubing in the article says 3031 1/4 .049 round tubing for the links but k&s website shows the 3031 1/4 round tubing is .035 wall, is this what they used and is it just a typo? I dont want the tubing to be too small to fit the allthread through because I have to mail order all this. thanks |
I used the Alum. tube from the LHS and it was toooo weak. I ended up going with steel brakeline. I haven't bent anything too bad with the BL. jOe: I put a pic in the archive tonight. |
aluminum shocks Does anyone run aftermarket aluminum shocks on their WK like the ones at RC4WD.com? Any pics? thanks |

Any fellow Canadians following the instructions for this build? I have been to 2 different Home Depot locations and cannot source the 6-32 allthread to build the links. Just wondering if I have bad luck, or if perhaps Home Depot's stock up here is different that what may be available in the US. Thanks! |
You might want to try a Lowes if ya all have them up there. If not you might want to call around to your local hardware stores, they might stock it. |
I went back to Home Depot today and spoke to a guy in the hardware dept. Turns out the Canadian stores often carry different stock than the US outlets, and they don't have the 6-32 all thread rod here. After a bunch of questions and some searching I found the all thread at a place called SB Simpson, so if any fellow Canadians are having difficulty sourcing the 6-32 all thread rod, you now know one place that stocks it :) |
E-savage shaftsI I got the 82008 shafts from the e-savage for the crawler build on the WK but the 82009 shaft is back ordered. Is there any reason I can't shorten one of the 82008 shafts to use instead of waiting for the 82009 part number shaft to show up? |
From the pics to the trick photography,That was cool!"thumbsup" |

Trouble with allthread In the list for the build it list 632 allthread but in the pictures for the links it says 6-40. What allthread is used for what and what are the real specs for them, any help is appreciated. Having trouble finding the right rod at Lowes and Home Depot. |
Yes there were multiple type-o's in that write up. You need 632 All thread. And if you have not noticed in the write up there is not a length given for the steering link. You will need to have that cut to 120MM. |

I appreciate the good info guys, thanks |
Mahalo Thanks, I just got my WK, and I already streached the sespention. I used the original link ends, I just cut them off, and drilled them out.:lol: I'm on my way."thumbsup" Thanks again for the great info. The new guy |
anyone else have problems with the rear drive shaft sticking? I cut the 13mm off and for what ever reason it wasn't enough... or the thing is sticking and won't collapse enough for me to put my rear links back on. ( I imagine the reason why they tell you to order the front drive shaft is so you won't have to cut two...) |
what did they do for the steering rod that goes to the axle? |
