Because he's a newbie, and the search engine sucks for everyone.... Here ya go. Rear Spring Options Re-indexing and cranking torsion bars for front end lift. Should run you just the cost of Jeep Grand Cherokee coils (or whatever you choose from the list). My coils from an auto wrecker were $40 each. Enjoyyyyy.

The FX4 may need to run a 17" or larger wheel perhaps? No idea, but the difference may make a difference, ie. the 16" wont fit? Go back to the dealership and tell them.. AFAIK it's 'against the rules' for a dealership to send a vehicle out without a spare tire and the means to change it.

What make are the speakers, and what amp are you planning on running? A 50x4 RMS amp with the 35W RMS and 60W RMS speakers would honestly be fine. As long as you keep your gains down, you should be good to go.

So did I. It was meant to be temporary but worked out well. I had it that way for 4 years

With the combination of the Trail Master lift, cranking the t-bars, and new coils... you can essentially get 7" of lift. Correct me if I'm wrong, guys. Pair that up with a 3" body lift and you're sittin 10" higher But, with lifts like that, you're gonna be wearing stuff out a lot quicker, so you know...

I really hope the LCA isn't bent... if it is, then I'm gonna be in for A LOT of work...

I'll go out and take some measurements everyone. Thanks for the suggestions. I'd use something other than WD40 if I had something else Unfortunately, my dad used up the last of my stuff when he was working on the tractor. Booo!

Thing is, the tensioner is already in the right spot. If I moved the t-bar forward further, into the LCA, wouldn't that make it so the tensioner is in the wrong spot? Does that make any sense? I'll go WD40 up those 3 nuts on the plate right now and let em soak for a bit before I try and crack em. Thanks for the suggestion!

Welcome! Where abouts on Whidbey? My grandparents live in Freeland...

So, I stumbled upon some motivation to get my Pathy back on the road... After a full day of pulling my old body lift out, disassembling a bit of my old Pathy, pulling my old Pathys t-bar crossmember out, dealing with mosquitos and 90 degree heat, I started to work on my new one. About a month ago I bought a '94 that I was going to fix up a little bit with the parts from my '90. I re-indexed my t-bars and cranked them a bit, threw in my JGC coils and decided to call it good, until I had time to pull the body lift out of my '90. A short distance from my home, my drivers side t-bar popped out of the LCA, and I had to get it towed home. I took a good look at the crossmember and convinced myself that it must be bent or something, and since I have another Pathy, why not swap out the crossmembers to see. Yesterday I swapped crossmembers, and the drivers side t-bar still won't seat properly. There's still quite a bit of the splines showing, and I don't like it. I've convinved myself now, that the previous owner must have jumped it or hit something with the front end and the LCA is bent...? Here are some pics... Driver side t-bar Passenger side t-bar Any ideas?

Really all you need to know about fibreglassing is the following: Make sure there are no wrinkles in the fabric you're stretching (unless you want to do A LOT of sanding and filling) Make sure you mix your resin appropriately Be sure that, if you want a nice finish, to spend a lot of time sanding and filling. Then spend some more time sanding and filling. Gauge pods don't need to be structural, so resin soaked fabric is fine. No matting is really needed here. Take your time, plan ahead, and wear long sleeves and a respirator or particle mask while sanding. And, have fun I did tweeter pods on my a-pillars without any glassing experience. If you follow the tips listed above, you'll be totally fine.

I believe they're 5x7's. I pulled them out and they're definitely not 6x9s. I'd put money on them being 5x7's.

When I did my motor swap, I didn't bother putting my AC back in. Twas a simple fix and I now sport a headache free AC system.

I love how I just viewed this whole thread just for the amusement of the captions and arrows. I don't even have an AT!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.... That is a gorgeous 2door. Heck yes! I likey!

Ahhh, her time will come... My mind is elsewhere right now, which is one of the reasons she's being neglected... Finally (after 14 months) I'm able to finish the practicum portion for my Paramedic program.. talk about a long wait. Stupid strike and government... BAH! I HATE BC GOVERNMENT! Though... I'm sure it wouldn't be JUST BC government if I lived elsewhere

Damn, beat me to it! Happy Birthday to all of you, and a safe and HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

I think it's because it has been so long since I've driven one of my Pathys... Its been over a year since I've driven my '90... and it's now been over a month since I've driven my '94, and I'd only driven it from the place where I bought it, to here. AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I just need ONE friend to help me and it'll be all good! Really don't want to swap t-bar crossmembers solo, and do my BL solo (again)... I don't want to do anything solo, it's sooooo borrrringgggggggg. I had my share of solo wrenching when I did my motor swap (stab me in the face!). It wont be long and I'll have the motivation again fellas....

So what you're saying is, "Carry several snatch blocks and straps to attatch them to trees"..?

I have a '90 and a '94 Pathy, but I'm driving my parents '02 Subaru Outback with 410,000km on it that is about to die... Sooo once that dies I'm sure I'll have motivation...

Errmmm... I swear that wasn't on purpose...

I think it's just you... I haven't been seeing any?
