  1. 33x1050s will still rub at some point and time without a BL at least
  2. Gfs truck has been a nightmare...budget lift....removed coil spring spacers...scary @!*% right here...had to replace the springs He had wires run thru holes in the front wall with no grommets and couldn't figure out y the fogs didn't work...no fish battery to switch to lights to ground...a wonder the truck didn't burn down. I pulled about 300' of unused, spliced in sites that I clipped and called good..also he did an awful bondo job...like 2" thick of bondo.
  3. Summit racing sells cheap steelies...I got my set of 5 for $250...gfs pathy has 33 x12.50s we have a 3" bl with a significant amount of fender trims on the front and adjusted wheel stops...it is a mall Crawler so we don't have to worry about tire rub off road yet..I've run 33x12.50s on mine for a while...areas I've rubbed: Frame at tension rod mount frame in front of front tire Body at cab(fender is essentially trimmed to the cab fenders in the middle (trimmed and comp cut now) Rear fender well/frame Rear fender Here's about how much I trimmed off the rear
  4. U could always upfit the cam/crank pulleys to the round style and reduce your TB change frequency.
  5. Not this year...I'm still paying for last year...hellofa good time...I'm sure grandpax will be there...I'm sure steevo will be there....had a kick ass time...buncha great folks...me and a buddy drove from sc last may ended up trailering my @!*% home and we almost had to trailer his Heep back too....was getting horrible death wobble but an alignment in Arkansas fixed his issues...canyon lands is an alright campground but its in downtown...not really my idea of camping but after day 2 it was convienent and I drank enough at night that sleeping in a sleeepng bag for 6 nights didn't even matter...some folks will miss me and my preparation for me to break and being able to bail others out but I def bailed myself out the most My biggest bailout was a gallon (and a gallon from my buddy) of antifreeze and Rescue Tape...he finished fins n things with a busted radiator upper tube Josh and Kevin r awesome as well bunch of great folks all around...wish I was going back this year but truck is still broke from last may...
  6. Hit up steevo from rugged rocks...I did the 3" bl install on a 95 for him
  7. http://stores.ebay.com/DBA-MOTORSPORTS
  8. I ran my bumper with the bars in front of the lights and below and noticed a big difference on road (and off BC all of my hellas are still not wired) Finding a welder: heycraigapp.com. welder....your email address....and city.craigslist.org....once u set it up click the li k in the confirmation email and it will automatically email you as soon as a listing posts with welder in it...I've been using it to find studded for the new house and its crazy how much crap is posted daily at a unbeatable price
  9. Adjust bump stops...I'm currently running 2" spacers BC i destroyed a set of 33-1250's from frame rub...there's a guy who sells yota spacers for 4 for $100 and they're at least 6061 t6( could have my temper wrong) but yotas are the only thing with a center bore big enough to clear our front hubs...only small annoyance is the yota studs are a different pitch but wasn't an issue for me I was against spacers for the longest time but really I can only see a little faster bearing wear but I haven't experienced it yet
  10. Try some sea foam in ure oil...the gfs 95 was starved sometime before we got it...sea foam helped but under hard acceleration Its still ticking loud...my busy used to put a half can in his passport every oil change to knock down lifter noise
  11. And sure its gear oil and not regular oil from the valve cover or rear main seal?
  12. Its a pipe thread...tighten it a lil more....
  13. Yea....I gotta get u to make me a set with unccpathfinder...but id need to figure out the dimensions for a flat rate shipping box....if I get lucky ill get on a trial between now and 2013...just closed on a house so this is progress slowing and then eventually picking back up...and since I work for bad boy buggies now ill prob end up building a mini buggy at home if i can get a decent price on a used one
  14. Call steevo at rugged rocks off road...I did a study for him...he has the info to make the 87 kit work by either hacking your rear floor or buying 2 new bolts...I have both ends pushing him to offer a secondary kit to make it work...he's got good prices and u get a discount for being a npora member tell him I sent u his way and maybe hell hit u up with a rror decal as well And proof of a 95 with the lift
  15. Most of the mounts at the frame could be straightened with a BFH...body being tweaked is a lil different...and body lifts can be challenging....I've done 2 almost flawlessly but they have both been custom
  16. Nice ryan...I wanted to do covers for my sliders with my insignia on it....damn you and your plasma table lol
  17. I think it's from the tires pigeon towing and me having to drive fwd to get to where I could swap links
  18. taking donations for a 4sp atlas...

      If you find someone willing send them my way too!!!!

  19. This was with an IAC brace...thanks be to moab
  20. A TC and rear shaft can be pulled at a u pull it lot for less than $300...the trans xmeber would have to change too I think you could SAS a 2wd for under $2500 with a custom front drive shaft and coil overs depending on how mechanically inclined they are...and Its less work...take $6k and put an atlas, solid axle and 4 link rear ...its just all a matter of what it'd be used for...ask steevo how much $ he wasted by converting to OEM 4x4 prior to building his truck today
  21. Just last night I was debating measuring up an R50 to see if I could weld the right connections on my frame and add some shock hoops and do a SFD to run 35s....still i need to just SAS it
  22. My new job does a lot of battery testing...optima isn't really worth what they want performance wise over time...I use whatever's "cheap" at the time and usually 3 yr batteries get me to 4 or 5
  23. Hook it up and see what the high side pressure is...It cuts off somewhere over 400 psi as a safety
  24. Did u pull a vacuum on the system first?...I'm guessing so but there is a high pressure and low pressure switch that will keep the compressor from burning up...my gf's 95 got a leak and I had to replace the drier before it would work right
