Is this a good time for me to as what a kingpin is? Ive seen that term thrown around a bit. sorry for hijacking :oops:

My first four-wheel drive vehicle was an 85 Bronco 351w with a half working carb, smelled like gas in the cab and you couldnt drive it very long with out your eyes burning. I bought it in highschool to piss my dad off. He made me sell it after i graduated. I went mudding in it a few times which was semi-legal...no one was really sure, it was a mud/dirt road about a 1/4 mile long, nothing compared to my Comanche at the Badlands...so i didnt really count it. To be honest ive been hooked since i was a little kid and saw the magazines at the grocery store, i always tried to get my dad to buy them for me. Jeep On! ~max

well if i work hard and I'm a little bit lucky ill be a pharmacist in a year and a half :cheers:

I love fourwheeln. I love jeeps. I'm 22 and I'm completely hopelessly obsessed. here's the pics and vids http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mudhound0530 http://stlcop.facebook.com/album.php?ai ... =172900063

thats reall cool, vent tubes are next on the list. I was thinking about running them up into the cab through the floor...i know its kinda getto but its a trail only rig.

the rear axle is cool. what about the gear box, is there one there too?

Thanks a ton guys. It doesnt have an aftermarket controller in the cab, i thought there may have been a factory deal, i guess not. Its an 01 shortbed silverado 4.8L, not worried about it pulling it. We are going straight to the badlands and will be super careful. Thanks a ton for all the info. I love this forum.

How would i know if my 1500 silverado has the trailer brake controller on it. it has the big round plug for the trailer wire hookup not the 4 wire plug...thanks guys. need to know asap as I'm leaving in the AM (its a friends trailer) now that i think about it do all you guys trailer with trailer brakes??? are they a must?

The light is on bc i changed the wiring on the back of the idiot lights. here's what happened in order 1. PO took out all the light, i buy new lights...see what lights up 2. e-brake light and shift light work (and stay on constantly) 3. i shift the wiring around bc i don't have an ebrake and i don't need an upshift light that doesnt work 4. Now i have a PART TIME light on all the time...which is fine cause its a trail rig not a DD and it will be in 4wd amost all the time.(except on dry pavement...I'm not starting that topic) 5. And i also have a MUD light just to make me giggle.

I don't know if everyone can tell but "MUD" lights up with PART TIME...i just think its fun. More importantly I'm proud of myself for being able to read a wriring diagram cause I'm a uber n00b when it comes to that stuff. ps - both lights are on all the time (ooh well)

Any one use the tire slime? We run them in our atv's but i don't know how much its helped or anyone elses thoughts. http://www.slimesealant.com/

i had a similair tire go flat problem...the stupid thing has been fine for months then all of a sudden it goes flat (it rarely even gets driven) turns out the weights and the COLD caused a tiny hole....so i took out all the weights. Who balances 34 in tires anyway? :nuts:

is it the thing up there at the top(is there even one) ???? should i run a line from that to keep crap outta the case???

So since the PO kinda rigged stuff up his own way, i no longer have an ebrake and my PART TIME light never comes on so i switched the idiot light wiring using my haynes manual and this is what i ended up with...if anyone cares :D

So i was out dinking around on the MJ and i decided to see how bad the PO screwed around the factory wiring, long story short...I am going to jerry rig up a light to light up one of the four wheel drive lights "FULL TIME" or "PART TIME" are the options...what would you guys do? Part time makes sense bc its NP231 Full time would also be cool bc is a trail only rig and will likely never see pavement or be DD ever again. Just bored and want your opinions, also if you can think of an easy way to get this to work with one of the lights behind the dash I'm all ears. Happy new year Max

I had the same exact stuff on my valve cover(instead of a gasket), seems to work pretty well. Does blue silicone do the same? sorry to hijack ~Max

what kinda of silicone did you use on the cover there
