  1. Decided to start in on a rear bumper. Removed the factory bumper cover. And support brackets which will for sure eliminate some rear wheel rub at flex. Still have some trimming and hammering to do on the body. Plan on getting rid of the factory bolt on hitch receiver and incorporating a new one higher and tighter to the trunk.
  2. Went big today! Black Friday @ 4WheelParts. Viair portable (for now) list price 299$ got it out the door 265$. No more trying to find a gas station after the trail. On board tank next.
  3. Time to make some beefy tie rods. Weakest link in the front. Failed twice on me yesterday on the trail. Chromoly sleeves?

      Will do.. In the works.

       

  4. I would recommend getting them then doing the alignment. If I remember correct you need two sets of the camber bolts or two camber kits. Not terribly expensive.
  5. AC sells the camber kits. They are a separate set of bolts you can use to correctly adjust the camber.
  6. Oh yeah. Most importantly got my 2015 tags in the mail!!
  7. I recently did lots of exhaust work on my '01 SE. I have 2 new catco universal cats downstream. And two new catco cats that are up by the headers. And a new Flowmaster muffler equipped w new tail pipes. All recently replaced due to upcoming registration and CA smog check. Little did I know when I took it in they neglected to probe the exhaust and even run the truck on the dyno. So I asked the technician why no probe and detailed readout with emissions levels and whatever. He told me 2000 and newer only require ECU check with OBD II reader and visual inspection. Nice!!! Time to get creative with new exhaust next time.
  8. 1. Alignment : YES. I run AC 2" lift springs with camber adjustment kit and KRFabs 4" drop in front without the swaybar. 2. Wheels/Tires : I run Goodyear MTR's w Kevlar on rock crawlers 15x8. Tires are 35x12.5x15r. Had to do some trimming and hammering. Also run 2" wheel spacers all the way around.
  9. Passed CA smog today! Today was a good day.
  10. Coil would be my bet. Definitely use the OEM Hitachi brand. Might cost you a little more cash. But will save you the headache of the problem returning.
  11. I honestly don't know how or when but it definitely progressed to un-driveable possibly from a small stress crack starting out or maybe was defective from the manufacturer. Just glad I was able to get it to a shop a couple blocks away and fixed immediately. BIG BEAR tomorrow!!

      postponed.. friend was sick. so I stayed home and worked that weekend. Maybe soon!

       

  13. Possibly launching the speed humps on my way to work..?
  14. Under the hood, firewall passenger side.
  15. I looked into superchips a while back and to no avail. I was not able to find anything worthwhile.
  16. Hopefully I added the right juice to the right components... I've got an automatic with the manual t-case. Did the diffs, t-case and trans.
  17. Finally got my transmission cooler plumbed and wired up. New trans fluid, filter and pan gasket. Replaced diff oil and transfer case oil. Getting all dialed in for early October trip!
  18. Most likely the AC. It is separate and will not change anything as far as the radiator swap goes.
  19. Very easy to replace.. Cost should be around 120$.
  20. Probably a plugged up catalytic converter..
