I was worried about droning at speed, but I don't even hear the exhaust over the other noises the Jeep makes. lol. today I installed some junkyard window rain vent thingies.

I'm literally in the middle of caliper replacement on my Liberty due to stuck brakes. they don't last forever.

chances are it's the brain box. those things are a real pain. most all I've ever gotten from the junkyards have been bad in some way.

I'll work on that

updates. removed the rotted exhaust, drilled a big access hole in the fender well, got the CPS out with an extraction socket, fabbed a new exhaust out of straight stainless pipe (still has the bend over the rear axle so I can keep my cool exhaust tip), and reassembled everything and made some promising (and cool sounding) trips around the block. but she's been sitting for a while when I was working on Breanne's MJ. a little too long. 3 of my 4 calipers seized up on me on the inaugural shakedown trip into town. tomorrow I address that. but the engine was revving like normal so I might have finally licked being stuck in limp mode all the time.

was. both appear to have been snatched up.

can't say I've ever thought about building a 2wd ATV out of a tractor, but it looks like fun!

I reference mine far more than I ever thought I would. https://www.ebay.com/itm/257005549378

time to reap the rewards of a job well done

fantastic execution! I love it!

excellent work! are you adding a gutter? it looks like the roof just dumps right onto the stairs.

just pick a number and see what happens. if it's too high, people will offer less.

I have not. his last visit was in May.

I wouldn't even attempt the upper bend. it's not going to be an identical-copy anyway, so in my mind there's no real point to it.

there we go! found 20 for 10 bucks. in a few days we'll see how that works out.

the way I always envisioned it was to make a left and right side that gets welded together (with a sleeve inside at the joint). that way you only need to make 2 different parts (half-a-hoop and a leg) and just make 2 of each.

nice! but holy crap, that price! guess I'll be figuring out exactly how many I need rather than buying a 20 pack.

tiny

do they exist out there whole with the base? if not, what size is the tiny, tiny bulb?

looks fantastic!

essentially you're just taking a distorted picture of the room behind you.

and be sure to practice painting at different angles. a loose fender can be rotated for optimum application... the truck cannot.

don't practice on your truck. buy junkyard fenders and practice on them first. master the art, then apply to your baby.
