  1. Adjusting and setting points with big hands..... arrggghhhh!!! i just eventually converted everything to a pertronix hahaha
  2. You can grab an adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator. However, we must ask. What is your goal, symptoms, problem? If you are running rich, there are other items that will cause a rich condition in a Renix.
  3. Parts have started arriving. 136amp alternator set on a H.O compressor bracket, with some ebay mounts. Will of course have to wire in a external voltage regulator.
  4. for me it was crappy old tires. i had replaced everything up to that point. changed to non 20 year old tires, and DW went away
  5. welp.....long story short, so begins the 4.5 poor mans stroker build. Had a knock develop one day, got it home and checked for a collapsed lifter..no go, checked for a bad piston....no go. finally just yanked it out and pulled off the oil pan. found a bolt had backed out of the oil pump and got slung up into the #1 piston breaking the skirt all to pieces. I got lucky had no wall scarring and broken rods. I got a friends crank and rods from his 4.2 liter, and will be using those for the 4.5. all the parts are at the machine chop getting cleaned up and prepped for assembly. While i am at it, i am moving the alternator up to the AC unit slot using HO brackets and a zj alternator. additionally I'm getting rid of the EGR, evap canister. i rem oved the entire wiring harness and cleaned the engine bay and re-painted as well.
  6. Daystar, Jeep XJ Cherokee front 2" extended 5" tall polyurethane bump stop 1.57" diameter 2 per set, fits 1997 to 2001 2/4WD, KJ09114BK, Made in America , Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GH1OCO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OQOOCbNJHDMN6 Naw, just spray some wd-40 up there, give it a twist and it pops right out.
  7. Daystar extended bumps, and hockey pucks bolted to the coil bucket.
  8. Cav-Fab Skid installed finally. took some Grinding and Cutting. not what i expected from the time it took them to develop it.
  9. THOR intake installed. Renix adaptor and boot mates right to the tube. some slicing and dicing on the bulkhead. Does have an annoying whistle at partial throttle I'm going to have to track down. Had to get a 1/2" PEX tee to connect all the vaccume hoses. not bad overall. much better than the spectre kit.
  10. You jsut got one of the holy grails of 1-ton swaps. consider yourself lucky that they screwed up.
  11. long live the 7.3 !
  12. THOR intake kit has arrived. Will be retrofitting this to a Renix intake. Cav-Fab t-case skid has shipped, should be here the 20th.
  13. guard? The dimpled sheet on the bottom? almost flush with the bulkhead.
  14. Thanks! Ive gotten to use it quite a bit between winching Stuck XJ's out of snow banks and tugging high centered XJ's off grader wind rows. (a friend has a little private off-road course on his property)
  15. we hit -22 yesterday morning with windchill of -50. been averaging about highs around zero and lows in the negative mid-teens. Supposed to get up in to the teens this weekend. Ill be in a t-shirt!
  16. RIP Don. Sure did admire all the knowledge he helped pass on.
  17. Test fitting and laying primer down on my TNT Customs bumper.
  18. well done Eagle! Thanks for your service mate.

    Snow

    Christmas Tree Run this last weekend.
  20. yep i love this state haha. Gillette is a pretty common stopping point along I90.
  21. Snow run today for a Christmas tree. The truetrac up front did great. Had a couple uphill digs through drifts. Let off the gas when it started hopping, and just let both wheels dig. Really liking these extreme countrys in powder. They don't seem to like ice very well, but they shine in the deep stuff.
