      just the 87-92 brush guard would have to modified because of the bigger bumpers on the 93-95. So I cant imagine a 720 would be a direct fit.

      Yeah I would like too but gotta finish my vw bug then its on to a 4dr hardbody.

  4. Another question I have is what exactly do I grease on the front control arm bushings? Between bushing and control arm, bushing and inner sleeve, sleeve and bolt?
  5. Ok cool. Yes I have a 3" body lift and the truck I pulled it from in the junk yard had the e brake drop brackets but didnt pull them. I made some when I installed the body lift but it didnt look right. Im pretty sure I still have them. And is there a certain torque for the control arm bolts? And I do plan on cranking the T-bars. Hopefully I wont run into the issue of needing longer bolts.
  6. So my calmini control arms came in and I have everything else for the lift. What am I looking for as far as time frame? I have the knowledge and tools to do the job. Im pretty sure where going wheeling in the next couple weekends and want to get it done before we go out. Any tips for the front end? So far I have the calmini upper arms with all new balljoints. Still have to order lowpro bump stops. Then I have JGC v8 springs (3" lift) that I have to cut to fit and for shocks my buddy found some that are a tad bit longer then the rancho ones for half the price (works at napa). And I have a stock pan hard bar bracket that im gonna use to make the 3"drop. Anything else im missing? Brakes lines? E-brake? Thanks guys Ryan

      It was sales marketing. They got your info when you went in. It's pretty common practice. Ou have a older rig and are more likely to trade it in. Just toss or shred it.

      I'd still call and complain. Just to be an asshole after they insulted the value of your ride.

    4. Balln

      Balln

      Yeah I was gonna call and see what all it was about. Im not selling my pathy. But was kinda a joke with that offer when I know I can get way more on craigslist. They would turn aroumd and put a 7k price tag on it lol.

  8. My wife bought me calmini upper A-arms for valentines day.

  9. Just seen in the free section where those brackets that we flip are up for grabs. I'm thinking that I may be able to modify those to get a better angle. Seeing how I think thats what is causing the bad angle. I could be wrong. But if I'm right I will make you a set for helping me out. Thinking I can move the whole over and weld up the rest and then clean them up and sand blast them.
  10. Ok cool I see what you did now. Yeah the top isn't that bad but im sure I can figure a way to get it looking factory. Thanks again for the help.
  11. Hey guys I have read somewhere awhile ago about flipping the stock brackets or swapping sides. After crawling under my pathy I don't see how that can be possible. Am I missing something?
  12. After a good hard scrub down on my chassie and drive train i found out i have a LSD rear end. HELL YEAH!!!!!!

      There's a breakaway spec somewhere (FSM probably) that'll say how much force it should take to move the clutches... jack up the back with the e-brake off (chock the front wheels!) and see if you can spin the left tire with the right one? Or just do a burnout on gravel and see if the tire tracks are the same length.

    3. Balln

      Balln

      Lol burnout. I'm running brand new 33 12.5 Mud Terrains. I jacked the rear up and and couldn't turn the wheels at all when in park and then in neutral they both spun in the same direction.

  13. You should look into the exterra roof rack. They look really good on our pathys. Use the search button in this section of the forum and there is plenty of info with pics on this topic.
  14. Just scored a sunroof glass, shade cover, and sunroof bag along with rear tail light brushguards, fog lights, marker lights, new pathy computer and some other goodies off craigslist for $25

      wow I been lookin for that damn shade cover for ever cant find one out here in oregon!!

    3. Balln

      I'll check it out more to see what shape its in. It was dark when I looked at it and its sitting in the zip up cover.

  15. Hey guys I searched and couldnt find any awnsers. So far only my pas side door speaker works and the driver side pops on every now and then. The rears crackle and POP. I have a buddy that can get me all new speakers for it at a price I can't pass up but I'm not sure what sizes to give him. Any help there would be greatly appreciated. And by replacing them should fix her up right? Or is there a common issue with the stock amp that I need to look into? Seen some of those topics when i was searching. I'm still running the stock tape cosset lol.
  16. I just replaced my plugs with ngk and all of them needed to be gapped bigger. I am really carful to not pry on the elctrode.
  17. Every plug should be gapped before installing. The little hook on the end needs to have a certain gap between it and the electrode nipple thing under it. I did have a Nissan truck where it did help once I gapped the plugs. I know my NGK plugs that I get from the store are way off. You have prob seen the tool to gap it with at the parts store and never realized it. There really cheap and it doesn't take any time to do it before installing.
  18. Wife got the pathy stuck yesterday so bad it took two jeeos a built rhino and a ranger 6x6 all at the same time to pull her out . Total of 2hrs of yanking ,pics and maybe vids coming

      Poor pathy was probably embarrassed.

      It was karma becuase I was bragging right before it when I just yanked out the jeep in the mud in reverse. I have vids of that too lol. Woody was stuck a badass and got stuck so bad that it took two jeeps lol. One of the jeeps blew his front axle out trying to pull the pathy out.

  19. When I was building my 4dr hardbody I dismounted the pathy cab from its frame. It didn't have a engine or trans but it was a 4x4 with everything thing else there. What I did was jack the body up enuff to slide some steel stock under the cab. One in front and one in rear. Then I used cyinder blocks from home depot to stack under the steel bars. Just slowly work your way up. The blocks are fairly cheap. Just make sure the blocks are far enuff away from the axles. I took the wheels off and set it on the ground and tied my hardbody up to the chassie and slid it out with a jack under it to help roll. Hope this helps. Gotta ask what's your plans? Find another cab to put on your frame or vise versa?
  20. Just put some new 33MT's on my pathy. Now its time for a susp lift im thinking about going the calmini arms with JGC springs

      pics please. Just the way it stands? Do you have a body lift?

    2. Balln

      I'll try and make a new thread in the members rides section.

      Make sure to get the before lift pics showing any rubbing locations and with wheel spec info. This will come in handy for me here real soon if you don't have a body lift. So thank you.

  21. When I bought my 94 the T-bars had to be cranked to level back out. They where sagging bad. After that I put a set of 31x10.5 Mud-T's and had no issue with rubbing at full flex with my rear sway bar disconnected. You should be fine.
  22. When I got my pathy and drove it the first time I had a big concern with the temp guage. It doesn't rise that high. A lot of guys on here have said there guage reads the same as mine. I have a pic of my temp guage at full warm up temp in my build thread in here. Search woody.
  23. Thanks guys. That was my next question is how do the 33x12.50 fit and perform on yhe trails. I literally just got done flexing my pathy out on some dirt and rock mounds by my house 5mins ago. And was kind worried with my offset on the wheels that they wouldn't tuck to good well they proved me wrong. They swung right up in there and I have plenty of room behind the tires and inner well but if I where to trim my bump stops back a little they might hit the outer well where the flairs bolt up. It will be super close but I might be able to squeeze them in there. I really wasnt wanting to run 12.50s but they do tuck with my wheels so I may go that tought. My wife is gonna be happy lol she likes the 12.50s verse the 10s So if the 12.50s tuck I should have any issues with them right? You guys like wheeling them?
  24. Ok I'm wondering what your guys thoughts are on this. I bought some alum 15x10 wheels awhile back that where pretty ruff. I welded up some of the deep scratch marks and then blended some of the lighter ones out then paid to have them polished. I recently sold my new 31x10.50s and now that there sold and my bodylift is on I installed my new wheels with a set of $50 yardsale find 33x12.50 tires to run on while I save up for my new tires. I'm wanting to really get the super swamper 34x9.5s but can't find them so I'm prob gonna go with the bfg 33x10.50 MT but I was told by a friend they will not work with my 10" wide rims. I really don't want to get rid of my wheels with the time and $ I have in them and I don't want 12.50s I don't like the wide look of them plus I wanna be able to stuff my tires in the wells. This is for my daily driver and I do plan on wheeling it but not hardcore.
