    brakes

    After mudding the brakes start to smell for a few days, I know some new 4x4 trucks come with boots over them so mud doesnt get into it and smell like mine are, I looked in the Haynes manual and I didn't see anything that was like that from the diagrams. I also thought that maybe there was a groove in the rotor and mud was getting stuck in it, but when I replaced the front caliper and brake pads last year I don't remember seeing a groove. Also the smell is coming from all 4 tires, its an 87 and really old but is there anyway to fix this??

    exhaust leak

    yeah no kidding. Any preference? The 40 series seems like it would sound better from what the description said, but the summit racing one seems like itd be better on performance.

    hose down

    Simple green works really good if you have a sprayer, and I just put grocery bags over the electrical stuff and just clean it by hand.

    exhaust leak

    yea that crossed my mind since I have no lift and 1 part of a trail i go on a lot I almost hit the tip everytime. I think im just going with this http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts-muffl...5A2522A0A0.aspx but I havent measured the pipe yet, and I have to find someone to weld a flange so it can bolt up to the cat. And just a replacement pipe for after the muffler, unless I find some aftermarket stuff for my year b/c I don't feel like dealing with cutting bending and welding new pipe together and all. sssh
  6. ROFL, I never would have thought of that.

    exhaust leak

    so I found out I have a leak. Now I can finally work on getting a nice sounding exhaust. I just have no idea where to start, I went to the flowmaster website and they didn't have any for my year, and JC whitney has some but I'd rather have dual. Any suggestions?

    steering

    I have a bigger problem now..I believe my clutch is going. it smells everytime i drive it for the past 2 days. Anyone know of a website with replacements for a good price?
  12. haha I'm sure it could get a lot of people to join
  13. I think he means like a regular profile page, but make it like NPORA instead of ur name or whatever. I might be willing to do it, if you guys email me pics and stuff for it.
  14. a tool bag with random @!*% that isnt gonna help if I break down unless something can be fixed with 40 different heads of a screwdriver or tightened with plyers. but I do have a 12ft or so tow rope, i dunno how much weight it can hold but if it breaks im pretty much screwed b/c all of my friends are poor. -thnkboutit-

    steering

    After off-roading today, I noticed when I almost get the steering wheel all the way turned to one side or the other it kinda like catches. I looked under the car on the driver side to see if like some weeds or something was keeping it from going smoothly. but I couldnt really tell with the little light on my keychain...any ideas?
  16. dude the rims are pretty sweet. how did you paint them?? :cool2:
  17. SL is definitely in the works now after a good but annoying day yesterday of bottoming out in the front end, cross member, rear hitch and almost taking out my exhaust. doh! AND I left my camera at home... :furious:
  18. so after 3 days of spraying constantly and almost using the whole can. I break off the 2 bolt heads I try to get off...next option.
  19. so the shocks I picked out only work with 0-1.5" of lift....and the kit is a 2.5-3". What shocks do you guys recomend that aren't terribly expensive and perform good.
  20. err. how about just some1 who installed it themself. I know how to get the coils and UCA out but just how hard is it...time wise and pissed off factor.
  21. ok I'll rephrase it. Who has installed a SL lift on their truck themselves, and exactly how hard is it? I can't find a write up about installing one. Also do you need new torsion bars along with UCA, rear coils, and shocks. better? -thnkboutit-
  22. who has installed a suspension lift?
  23. i was planning on getting a new one later on. I've also been looking at suspension lifts on 4x4parts.com and this one doesnt seem to bad on price or parts. but do I reallly need the new torsion bars? And I'm getting new shocks anyway so I could get some that will work with a 3" lift. http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...611526e7311ead9
  24. so my b-day is coming up at the end of the month and family/girlfriend want ideas. I want to go off-roading and not be afraid I'm going to crack something on the chasis since I have no lift and running 31x10.5s BFGs. So far I've got RC Nitro 9000 shocks, and maybe a steering stablizer if I can get my stupid skid plate off without breaking the heads off the bolts... :help:
