I have the same drivetrain and 33s in my 88 and it is... ok. wish it was 4.56. be prepared that rim width and backspacing make a world of difference in trying to fit 33s without major surgery.

if there's a hardware store near you, you miiiight be able to compare the nut to what they have on hand.

these days aftermarket rotors tend to come brand new already at their minimum thickness. don't be surprised if it measures as a bit "less than ideal". rule of thumb, if it looks to your eye like a normal rotor's thickness and the surface is smooth, it's good to go.

that's not true anymore. there are others available too. it's a bit freaky to have choice when it comes to something that literally didn't exist just a couple years ago. the first one I went with ended up falling apart because it relied on a plastic bit shoved onto another plastic bit to hold it all together. the second one was one of the cheaper versions and it has a positive clamp on the top and bottom of the pump. it has a cheaper pump in it, so I'm not 100% certain it's the best choice overall, but it can't fall apart.

man, does that look like a lot of fun!

lean back to pull it most of the way out, then lean it forward to get that last bracket to clear.

would have been an absolute tragedy losing that truck. nice save and an excellent build!!

once she's up and running you should take both to the car shows.

while you've got the front end jacked up, rotate the tires around and around and listen for wheel bearings. also shake the tire with your hands at the top and bottom, then the sides to check for any play.

love it!!!

anyone used the 92+ switch and pigtail to fix an 86-91 with a melted plug? it feels like it's more or less the same thing but with different colored wires.

I believe you can recharge your current one with fresh charcoal? or did I imagine that?

yup, just yet another stupid money app.

I figured it out! I have to use the app on my phone to transfer funds around. not entirely sure why they won't let me do that on my laptop but it doesn't matter.

ok, so no one send anything to that CC venmo account until I can figure out why I can't access any donation sent there.

core supports. sorry, I missed a word. the top cross bit bolts on (and is how you pull the radiator out) but the rest is welded to the side structure.

an 03 wrangler has comparable length cables to ours? I did a rough measurement under my truck and got close to 50" end to end of the actual internal cable. is that what we're measuring or is it the outer sheath?

definitely on the to-do list for this truck I'm working on. worth it simply for never having to risk life and limb reaching up in the dash to disconnect the cable. gotta wait until the owner's budget is ready though. we blew way too much cash fixing the previous-owner-caused issues. by then we should be ready for some 6.5 speaker brackets too.

absolutely. but the radiator core is welded in, so be prepared.

always a good time living vicariously through your travels.

we don't have a CC venmo. or at least we didn't. I set one up: @ComancheClub I still have to transfer funds around, but I figure that's inevitable.

I do hate it when brand new stuff breaks

we're also saving up for getting some pro work done to the forums. the site desperately needs some updates and software fixes.
