Ok, so since you cut off the rockers, and are building sliders, are you going to boatside as well?

 

[rickybobby]

still hard to beleive that you only have 5500 into it

Thought about it but since the frame drops down towards the back it wouldnt just be a straight shot and would probably end up looking goofy so probably wont but we will see.

Buy sell and trade. Just got to look for deals.

Well a few updates I forgot to mention.

Swapped on a set of manual doors and took the snorkel off a couple weeks ago but no pics.

Went and messed around in the woods with a buddy last friday and I ended up being the jeep recovery vehicle. My buddy got a little brave and ended up flopping his jeep. Pics dont really do much but its a little downhill off camber turs with a big rock you have to climb up one cause the is a tree in the way. It leans like crazy when your on it. He got a little brave and went too high up on the rock and over she went.

Only damage was busted out the windshield and dented the a pillar. Didnt even knock the side mirror off. We flipped it back over and kicked the windshield out and kept on truckin.



Made up some new power and ground wires with some 1 gauges welding wire my buddy had laying around. Replaced them all. Spins over fasssst now.

Got some new stickers in the mail today.

Also got all the old pieces of the old sliders ground off the frame so it ready for the new ones to be welded on. Going to try to get them on the week sometime.

We built them to wheel. Not drive to the mall.

Got the rock sliders on. Left a nice platform to tie in a exo cage later on down the road.

 

[willied]

Lookin' good, man.

 

[92/93on33s]

[Fordexplorerguy1]

[Foxracin]

Spray paint from Dollar General. lol

Got some more work done.

One of the exhuast manifold gaskets blew out and its was driving me crazy so I finally went and got some gaskets and changed it. Also picked up a new oil sender to do the oil pressure gauge mod to actually have a working gauge instead of just a dummy light.

Old sender

New sender

Resistor you need to jump

Also got my new rear brake brackets put on and made some guessets for them. Hopefully they wont break off this time.

Then made some new motor mounts and trans mount.

Going wheeling next weekend at Windrock with a buddy from James Duff so stay tuned for pics/vids.

Do you get any vibrations with those mounts? I can't tell for sure if you have any bushings in them or not. Pretty cool stuff there to say the least.

 

[TarHeel085]

who do you know at Duff? ive been wheeling with the guy who owns "hell *****" (EB buggy) that works there.
