    yep, you messed up something when going back together.

    Yeah the disks were not snug in the basket. Toodeep and fish pointed that out for me.
     

    Once I got it all back together again was having issues with the case cover. It did snug up properly when I put it back together the first time but then I learned some things the second time. Your thread for putting the cover back on, from July I think, was very helpful. Followed your instructions to the T. Ended up ordering another clutch adjustment bolt, seal, nut. The previous one seamed like someone put the wrong nut on and jacked up the threads. The triangle piece wouldn’t adjust the way I needed it to.

     

    She’s back together now. Purring with no ticks. Pretty stoked.

    Further explanation

    Ok. Thanks again for the direction guys.
     

    The disks are snug. I did realize after fish’s and toodeep’s breakdown that the clutch basket was not coming forward like it should pinching the misaligned disks. The Kickstarter is loaded with the washer on the back. The reverse lever is loaded. The orientation is lined-dot-arrow. The centrifugal one way bearing is faced outside. Clutch washers are faced outside. I noticed my clutch adjustment was not lined with the guide on inside of case. Pics attached. I’m waiting on the gasket. The bike will be like this with the case on (not bolted) till gasket gets here.

     

    Am I missing anything?

    If I had to guess the clutch backing plate jammed when tightening the 4 bolts with springs and the clutches are just floating loose in the clutch basket. All you need to do is loosen those 4 bolts to release it and tighten them making sure the clutch plates are tight in the basket when done.

    I do remember being worried that I tightened those too tight and backed off and remember the disks moving. From what your saying, the disks should be snug?

    Hello. 

    Me again… Replaced timing chain. So I got everything back together after installing the new timing chain. Had the bike turned on it’s side with the clutches facing up. The Kickstarter never came out and it stayed in place(wound up), lined up shifter on the secondary clutch(dot, arrow, the triangle bearing piece) put the reverse lever back on to what I though was correct. Hopefully my vocabulary is correct in describing everything.
     

    The Bike won’t move with throttle when in gear. Kickstarter doesnt have the resistance it did and won’t start the bike. She starts and purrs great with electric just won’t move. Feel like I’m gonna have to go back in the crankcase. 
     

    Pretty sure I did something incorrectly.
     

    Anyone have experience with this?

    Yeah I figured I need to go back into the whole top. Imma pick up some left handed bits today. I have a lil 110 welder. Order some used bolts as well. Hopefully they are what the pic shows. Think I’m about to learn some patience the hard way. When I took the top end apart the first time, I took my time on the bolts and then torqued them back to specs. Got in too much of a hurry this time. Frustrating…

    This is a question of ignorance. If the engine is running hot, which I’ve read they do, could it also be from running lean and heating the piston up too much? If it’s too lean, wouldn’t it idle different? Is it possible to have the idle dialed in but lean? 
     

    Or am I over thinking it? They just run hot.

    Some progress on the wheeler. My wife named her Renda. 1.5 spacers on the rear. 18’ stock rubicon wheels and tires. Still need to do the timing chain. Waiting on the gasket. Really need to do an oil cooler mod. Most likely with a fan. Hot in FL…

    the 18 being the year , didn't trigger with me , went right over my head  ,  so IRS rims ----  I think when you said the offset was too deep in the rear , that's backwards  , should of been , the offset of the rims are not deep enough ?

     

    I had a set of Honda IRS aluminum factory rims  on a 300 2wd with 2inch spacers on them , looked funny to me , I like the deep dish look in the rear , still have them rims in the trailer , glad you made me think of them , they will be up for sale this week , I been liquidating  --- I gave the guy $20 for all 4 rims and tires ,  he was having himself a garage sale in the parking lot of the closed down Time Saver one Sunday morning  

    I like the deep dish look as well. For the time being till the spacers arrive, lol... Put the eBay 2” lift on it recently as well.

    92 is a good one , I have one and it is my favorite ---- 

     

    18inch rims wouldn't be stock , think you just did a typo on that -----    well you could go to 10 inch wide tires , change the rims out for a different offset or go with wheel spacers , they are cheap , would think 1 inch  would take care of the clearance on the rear cause you have 12 wides , some people  don't like spacers , say the put extra load on your bearings and can come loose , I have never had much problems with them for all the hours I have put on them  , people that talk bad about them , more than not have never actually  used them and just repeat stuff like parrots , I am sure we will hear a few squawks on that Hot Topic   LOL

    Yeah I ordered 1.5’s. I’m not planning on running the wheeler super hard. That could change tho, lol. The 18’ reference was 2018 rubicon stocks wheels and tires. Found some Saturday and got’em.

    Guys, 

    Thought I’d share my recent conversion to front disk brakes on my 04 Rubicon. Many thanks to Jeepwm68 for his help and insight as to parts I needed. 
    I bought the knuckles, calipers, rotors, hubs etc from a ATV salvage yard and converted the drum brakes to disk brakes. Entire job cost me just $300, with some new bearings, dust seals and a couple of lower ball joints. 
    “New” brakes work fine, may need to change pads in future, but wanted to see how well it all worked prior to additional cash out lay.
    I had to re-align the bike once completed, but so far no negative issues. Entire job took me about 15-16 hours. 

    I have attached some before and after pics. Thanks again Jeep!

    Did your stock front wheels fit? Thinking about buying some used rubicon stock wheels and tires for 300TRX with brake conversion. I don’t know much about rubicons.

    Hi guys. Question just to make sure my math and reading is correct. 92 300TRX FW-super atv front brake conversion kit. Of course OEM rims won’t fit. Looking to buy 2-ITP steel-D12F511 (4/110) 5+2 and 2-ITP steel D12R511 (4/110) 2+5. 12x7 wheels. Tires will be 25x8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear. Will these wheels fit?
     

    By all I can read, these will fit over the front calipers. Any info is appreciated. Just want to double check what I’ve read and I would bet someone has experience in this. 
     

    Thanks

    JrTRX, that's nice !!! 

     

    Do you know how to check that timing chain ?

     

    Unbolt the adjuster from the jug , it will spring out if in good condition , then try to push it back into the jug , if the gap between the adjuster and the jug is less than about 1/4 inch the chain is streathed and needs replacing ----  did you adjust the valves ?? 

    Thanks

     

    I got about 1/4 inch on the adjuster but I can hear it rattling and yes, the valves are spaced .006. I had to go back in a readjust after the first run. I can remember how the chain folded vs curls when I was in the top end but didn’t know any better. I was too worried about the piston, valves etc and never looked up any info on the chain.
