  1. Installing this weekend, needed a couple seals while I was replacing the ball joints and they needed to be ordered. Idler arm is a monster & I'll get a side by side when I pull it!-)
  2. I can let you know about the calmini arms and rs9000's after the weekend (installing them then!-) Sorry to go off topic...
  3. I... think it will outperform the Tornado!-) (an origami swan outperforms the Tornado!) But it will be a good read either way!-)
  4. Calmini took less than 2 weeks to ship me my 3" SL & Steering upgrade. Just my feedback. Way happy so far, (still installing!-) I think Calmini gets bashed more than they deserve (my opinion only!-)
  5. Thats funny, Didn't want to put you to wrenching right away!

    Frame Repair

    My last 95 (parts truck now) looked like that, (not the erector set rearend!-) but rust and WOW that is alot! Por 15 (metal ready is awesome before welding rust metal) And I just LOVE the 2x4 supports!
  7. I am in the process of installing my Calmini 3" SL and steering(along with rotors, new halfshafts, etc... But Wholly Balls is the calmini stuff heavy Duty. Had it in boxes for since X-mas and opened them yesterday. Idler arm blew my mind at it's size. All I need is an EASY button to get it done quicker! Adjustable shocks will offset the stiffness of the torsion bars (I believe) if not I have an excuse to get a winch quicker!
  8. 4 pack of diet red bull every morning, chased with a few cokes & Starbucks Mocha Jolt Grape ROCKS also the Jolt Cherry Cola reminds me of trying to syphon gas thru a hose (mouth full of gas taste)
  9. Stock is 2" I believe and the ARB snorkel is 3" (haven't installed mine yet) IMHO 3" would be optimal Good Luck
  10. And I don't remember which pistons (q45?) I'll keep looking
  11. wanting the engine upgrade info, site is gone!-( I know it was a 3.3 block but the details elude me
  12. I picked up the Bosch all in one wiper blades from autozone, cleans the salt off my windshield even if I run out of fluid. removes ice well also, never really bought descent ones before (now to much sun gets in from such a clean windshield!-)
  13. Both my 95 have(had) the cold weather "autolock" once you lightly close the door WHAM you are locked out (truck running or not) Never had issues with it not locking except after washing the salt off in the winter. (I think the car wash blower helps push water into the actuator to freeze later) Hope it makes sense as I was watching redfinders Shaolin Hammerfist UFC style avatar.
  14. I believe roughly 16.5 gallons (at least I can pump that much gas into mine!-) Haven't had any reverse light issues
  15. Use duct tape and save the cost of the split boot (which sux). you can get a replacement half axle for $99 (then pull the old one and take your time doing it right (and have a spare))
  16. Getting ready to do the same, just waiting for a deal on a descent bender
  17. mount them to the hood like spy hunter
  18. Ya picked a nice freezing weekend; Looks Good!-)
  19. keep it or get a helicopter!-) As my brother says "Cheaper to Keep her..."
  20. Hmmmn that might be do-able!-) I'll check out the info on MXO and try to get work done on the truck. Been a bit cold to wrench lately!
  21. I never get customed!-( Hence I have some descent cigars from south of Florida!-) But I wouldn't try bringing BC dank or anything though.
  22. Yep about every 500 miles you'll find one in these here parts if your lucky!-)
