you like that? I did lol

a lot of the pics i stole from fourwheeler.com came out blurred on photobucket, so for all the pics visit their site and look under events for all the UA day threads, pics, and vids. I'll post some of my favorites though..

Sorry I haven't updated.. I was literally working on getting the vehicle ready for the trip up until the morning of the start day. Luckily I was only 2 hrs away from the beginning point. This trip was amazing.. there aren't any words to describe it. Even with rain EVERY SINGLE DAY, 3-5...

been a busy past few weeks.. high pinion 44 is in, truck is currently at a friend's shop getting a tire carrier built and integrated into the rear bumper and roll cage. corbeau seats are sitting in my garage along with 5 new Falken 37" MTs on 17" steel wheels. will update with pics as soon...

I have a goal.. it's to out-do the Land Rover.. lol started working on storage, found a leaking pass rear wheel seal, replaced the seal, rotor, and pads on both sides. took it out this evening and ripped out the rh headlight housing, dented the fender and took a tree limb to the drivers door...

Thanks Brian! Are yours mounted to stock tracks? Wanted to make sure I won't be sitting up any higher.. don't want to be too close to the roll cage.

6' 250. Corbeau Baja rs reclining with the direct fit Corbeau tracks

Last weekend for the gofundme. Ordering seats tuesday.

Heard from Emily. Not what we had hoped for Ted. From reading most road days are highways and secondary roads if at all possible. Just don't want to make a mistake before a longggg road trip.

Have not heard back from Emily :( Need some real world advice.. 4.88s, 4.0, pushing 37s on the highway.. how bad/good is it?

Timing cover resealed w.out pulling the motor and oil pan. wheeled it sunday, no issues. bump for the gofundme lol

Planning on purchasing seats and harnesses this week for the Ultimate Adventure coming up soon and have been looking at Corbeau Baja JP, Baja RS reclineable and Baja SS ultra wide.. you know, big guy seats. Anyone have either of these 3 seats installed in their Ex/Ranger? I will be running...

Thanks Rick! Its because of this site that I got interested in building my Explorer for offroad excursions lol I started an instagram account if anyone wants to follow pictures leading up to and during the event. username is JSloankettering, prize given to anyone who catches the reference...

thanks for the tips guys!

update.. after unplugging and plugging in connectors, replacing sensors and removing the converters the truck hasn't had any issues. Until this morning. went to get a new inspection sticker and the truck would not start. crank crank crank no fire. opened the door and turned the key and did...

Hey guys.. I started a gofundme.com account to try and raise funds to purchase some safety equipment i.e. seats and harnesses and some other odds and ends for the Ultimate Adventure. If you could share this amongst your friends or groups it would be greatly appreciated! Below is a link to the...

Thanks everyone! Got to finish up lots of loose ends, got our clubs version of the UA in June as a shakedown for the big show. My main thing now is storage.. kinda makes me wish I had built a 4dr lol

I'm glad you recognized it because the pics turned out real grainy Lol

removed the IAT sensor and it was wet and smelled like fuel. but the vac lines do not. hmm. changed it since there had been a code for high voltage stored in the system. no change.

oh, we can eliminate the catalytic converter too. don't ask me how, i regret it.

cleaned all mud and gunk and grime away from and off of the CKP sensor, cleaned the connector and the terminals on the sensor. Truck starts faster.. but still the same idle problem once it is in closed loop. I think I am using the right terminology. Honestly.. I am about to sell an organ and...

After

No fuel present in any of the vac lines, replaced FPR already. I. Am. Stumped.

Updates. Checked ecu, ignition module, and fuel pressure again. Here's where it gets interesting. Hooked up gauge and turned key on. Had to cycle 3 times to get pressure to 30psi. When cranking it went to 40, started then back to 30. Removed vac to fpr went to 40 psi. Idled at 30 for 3 mins then...

just to rule something else out I tried a new MAF, no change. added fuel to the truck, reset pcm, let run for 45 mins and still have the idle/surging problem. as Anime stated, I will be removing the pcm tomorrow to check it out. any way to test the ICM? been reading some threads but haven't...

2 yrs but less than 5K miles bought my own fuel pressure gauge, started to thread the adapter onto the valve, and it started taking the threads off of the valve. dangit.

Had a memory code for IAT above max voltage, we did have it unplugged saturday night while the engine was running, live data voltage of 2.9 TPS voltage looked normal, it is brand new O2 .03-.80, the .03 seems a little low after reading Glacier's fantastic thread timing advance ranged between...

I thought I would bring up the idea of the converters being at the end of their expected life cycle. Any thought to this? I was able to borrow an EECIV scanner, did KOEO and KOER scans and was able to watch some live data. One thing that we thought was strange was the O2 sensor voltage...

Got up a couple blocks and beached myself across the top of the engine and blew thru the return. I could hear myself making bubbles on the other end.

i tried getting close enough to the return line to blow through it, even tried with a vac pump but there is no way to get to it with my size and the amount of lift lol swapped tps, iac, cleaned maf, reset computer, still same thing. below are some horribly videos. you can see/hear the...

Thanks for the tips. Will be spending lots of time in the garage this weekend. Will update on any changes.

changed fpr and filter, nothing changed. truck seems to be idling high and surging not missing would be a better description. unplugged the tps and nothing happened, kind of makes me wonder.

yeah the fuel pressure is off the charts. I do feel vac on the fpr hose when it is pulled while the vehicle is running.

borrowed a fuel pressure tester from a tech at work, with truck idling I have 65 psi, yes.. 65. normal range is 35-40 ive been seeing. so i checked the vac line for fuel, dry, pulled the tester off bc it started to leak. went back out later and started the truck, pulled the vac line off the...

Yeah I thought about that as I was laying in bed awake in the middle of the night. sad huh? lol going to try a throw a new fuel filter on there too. couldn't hurt..

pulled the plugs, didnt look the best for only being in there <10K miles, 3 of them smelled like fuel so i went ahead and put a brand new coil and new plugs on the truck thinking i had weak spark but it was idling bad as soon as i started it up. hit the throttle a few quick times and i...

I've been thinking coil pack for a while now. Going to pull the plugs after work tomorrow and see how they look. I think I have a spare coil pack somewhere in the garage. thanks for the reply

Well, I was an hour ago, managed to get home. Idle started to drop, had to hold the throttle down slightly to keep it running but then it sounded like it had dropped a few cylinders and eventually shut off. Restarted several times but once again shut off. CEL was on briefly. Managed to get...

get the lift and axles.. if nothing else spare parts
