Re: RUBICON 2021 That sucks things didn't go as planned. Glad you guys made the most of it though and certainly still a memorable trip.
I'm curious what happened to Jeff's ARB. _________________ Cummins R2.8 diesel, ZF5, AtlasII, HP44/BB9, ARBs, coiled / linked suspension, 37" KO2s, full cage, bumpers, etc. Build Thread: Average 23.5 mpg, Best tank: 25.1 mpg |

Re: RUBICON 2021 If it means anything I havent had any issues with my arb's. the front has been there since the late 80's. But i do actuate them regularly(probably monthly) as i drive through the neighborhood.
Also what air pressure are you feeding the lockers? They are designed to operate at no more than 95psi. I had to add a regulator to my system that feeds the lockers. _________________ Rob 74 Ranger EFI351w, 4r70w, ARB 5.13 9in, ARB 5.13D44, and a bunch of other goodies.

Re: RUBICON 2021 Sometimes the biggest issue with the Arb’s are with the compression fitting on the 3rd member, some of the versions have a brass line that likes to back off the fitting that attaches the blue airline and the only way to fix it is to pull the third member. You can convert it to a better flare setup and/or -2an braided line as well which is nice. Not sure if it’s the problem or you have the side seal issue.
I haven’t had any issues with mine with the exception of my ring gear bolts backing out and cutting the air line on holy cross. The last time I checked I believe those seals are rated to 150 psi but 95-100 is the required amount for full engagement, but I could be mistaken. _________________ 1976 Bronco "Green, Yellow, whatever", 1969 Bronco "Red", 1972 Bronco Stocker "Kind of Blue/Grayish" |

Re: RUBICON 2021 Looking forward to seeing some pictures! I too am sorry you guys didn't get to run the Rubicon, but it'll be there for a while longer...
ARB's seem to be very finicky. Sorry you too had trouble with them Jeff. _________________ 1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow. http://www.ucora.org |

Re: RUBICON 2021 Recently I've had several that the seals for the main body of the ARB have been faulty and two that had primary case cracks. Make sure you examine them closely.

Re: RUBICON 2021 Here are some pics Mike posted on my FB page. Hope he doesn't mind.
I only took a few and they didn't turn out. We were so involved with broken ujoints and ARBs I don't think anyone else took any.

Re: RUBICON 2021 Cleaning out the camera. Not on the Rubicon, but still a good shot.
