  1. Thats looking good still theyre aggressive trucks plus it definetly deserves those 2" it makes big difference in look over stock. As though its more natural to the look of the truck. Dude i found my girlfriend the sickest wj, it is an 04 that was one owner by a jeep guy who wrote every service with the mileage in the engine bay he did which was also spotless, and it had the good part time transfercase, with limited slips front and back, AND 79, 000 miles which was nuts and on top of all that... It was a 4.0 She loves that wagon so damn much Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  2. I wonder if theres anything in the throttlebody air intake or anything that needs to be cleaned or a sensor in the throttle body that could use a cleaning to help this problem. Just a shot in the dark at a fish full barrel Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  3. Thank you so much! I think theyre great for the r50 too, i love the view from the top of my driveway down at it everytime i get the mail lmao. I have not tied them in yet but, i did use the entire bottom of the bumper front to back length as attatchment surface to the bracket of course welding the hell out of the outside as well as inside and it uses all three of the bolts for the tow hook. It holds the weight of the truck with no scary sounds or anything which is nice and i also drilled the holes out to fit 7/8ths grade 8 bolts for it. Its good and strong to kill a deer if it jumps out but i definetly will be tying that top hole in in the future. itll be real easy because i only need the one bolt up there and can weld the undrilled length up on top and mark the spot because i can actually get a damn sharpie up there for that hole. Just gotta get more metal first lol. Then id be confident in a winch plate being fitted to the thing Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  4. I haven't needed 4low out in the woods on an obsticle yetvso i cant say to its rpm build up as mentioned, because ive only needed to use 4H . Ive only engauged the 4L on flat gravel before though and it had no problem trying to get moving, while not nearly as fast of a roll as 4H, but it was still something. But the not getting up and going until about 1500-1700rpm i havnt had to deal with yet. Ive just gone right up things with 4H and never had problem. I do also have an 03 with manual stick transfer case and AT Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  5. So to date this is what ive got goin: Relocated knock sensor to front center of engine. Started with 2" spacers and ended with nrc9448 springs some Bilstein 33185569 5125 shocks for the rear. (Still havent drilled a new panhard bar hole so my axle sits half an inch to the left). The front also had spacers first but once the stock struts finally went i went down the speedwaymotor rabbit hole and purchased trucoil purple racing springs with 250 pound per inch compression and a spacer for it to sit onin the new strut, allowing us to cut off the extra large seating for the stock spring and have more room for tire there and not just a sketchy quarter inch. All of which i learned from[mention=40517]Bax03SE[/mention] as he did it first. Only thing i did different was avoid sfd by taking off my old spacers. I might put one inch back on bc i can so why not at some point. I wouldve left my running boards on had half the bolts not looked like they were going to fall off any minute. Theyre strong and when in good shape make for some good extra protection. Id like to fit some actual steel rock sliders at some point somehow. Ive taken off all of the bumper covers and fender flares for rust repair and everything off the rear stayed off its still off i have no rear bumper. Oh well . ill put one on when I find a way im pleased with. I left the metal bumper inside on the front and held harbor frieght lights on it for a long time while i worked on the brackets to fit a TJ wrangler to the front which just went on two weeks ago now i wanna say. Ive put manual hubs on the front and changed both cvs as the originals were torn and not clicking. So i purchased a kit to rebuild them. I also found that ultra black gasket maker will fix a small one inch tear near the clamp. Btw if the cvs have never been done SCREW THOSE BOLTS ON THE DIFF SIDE holy cr@p i cracked two 12 mm sockets on that 16 year old locktite(?). Up next: Next week im doing a drain and fill with some good ole nissan matic d for the tranny and hopefully by then ill have figured out which is the actual correct fluid for my tc. I have the stick shift tc and manuals ive seen online have said either the matic d or 75w90 will work. But that its ok for both. That doesnt make sense? If it does pls enlighten me. Diff fluids get changed next month too any recomemdations there would also be good. New lights up front with the dang clamps. ..if i have to.. id prefer to use the two tabs i have at the very top or maybe utilize the single ones i have that almost line up with where the original stock fog lights were. Which i also still have but the tabs broke on one of them i believe. That whole rear bumper not being there situation will be dealt with at some point. Ive also been thinking of a cb because thats probably important but im just not quite sold on it. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  6. Thank you! Itll be time to figure out a rear bumper at somepoint in the relatively near future lol Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  7. Would you use those non foulers on the o2s before and after the cat you punch out or only the downstream one? Is that going to affect its running as well? Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  8. Is that only a verticle motion or is it a spinning motion when you move it by hand, How loose is that thing? Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  9. So it has absolutly no problem holding the weight of the truck on the bumper with a high lift. Im Very happy Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  10. Thank you!! It took a lot of measuring and remeasuring to get it to where its welded center on the brackets and not crooked. Ive yet to jack it up by it with the highlift but ive done some jumping on it and am happy with its strength for at very least a deer deflector Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  11. Yeah thats true but i do not want to drill into it or spend money on a two inch clamp for it, id rather get new lights for the front and wire these into a switch and into my reverse lights because ive been thinking my reverse is pretty dark at night. Plus would be nice to have highbeams for those tailgaters But mostly i just want new lights lol. Ill probably still end up having to get those clamps no matter what Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  12. Its on there and my cheap harbor freight lights do not fit anywhere now lol. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  13. This is hilarioushttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5da2754bc6844/Sr1HBDV.mp4 Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  14. Heck yeah! Shouldve known it was bax lol. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  15. Thank you! I rememebered something along those lines in my travels on our site but when ive trued to find the damn thread i just havent yet. I cant even rememeber who did it! Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  16. Heres the bumper! Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  17. And now what will be done abbot the coolant resivoir and washerfluid? Are they covered on that bumper? Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  18. Finally got a pic next to a stock one Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk
  19. I bought a smittybuilt tj bumper and some metal for brackets! Also for radiator support repair of course. So that means I'll also be relocating all the plastic bits including the wager fluid and coolant resivoirs and a air intake will potentially get sealed up. Anyone have any suggestions on relocations and mounting? It will later get a winch plate put on it. Smittybuilts winch plates and even winches are cheaper than harbour frieght on Amazon. This has been an Amazon build huh? A Little bit of speedway motors . com but mainly amazon has been my supplier lol new phone now finally that's why I've been dark for so long. Gotta redownload tappatallk
  20. i never posted these! on the way out i ended up cutting my treds on the body panel a tiny bit but it’s not bad isn’t howling and now i know i need to beat up some metal. this was on the tucked side in the previous pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
