the booster might be old and tired. don't forget that the rear brake lines have a special braking procedure. see the link in my signature

coming along nicely! though the bumper end caps are throwing me off a bit.

soooo, to save time by changing prices instead of writing up a new listing? that's less awesome but I'll allow it.

so it's a way to skimp out on ebay fees? I'm ok with that.

yes. not sure on the relay. charcoal canister still works without the EGR because it addresses a different problem (aka: what to do about gas fumes escaping the gas tank). it's been a while since I've looked at a charcoal canister, but shouldn't it have a second vacuum line going to it?

this isn't the first example I've noticed, just the most recent because I need to replace the hose on my folks' trailer. NO ONE is spending a grand on a stupid propane hose. note that he's sold 2 or "them" so far. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Propane-Hose-Adapter-1-lb-to-20-lb-Propane-Conversion-Hose-LP-Trip-Grill-4-Ft/253721909587?hash=item3b13011953:g:x4EAAOSwDyBbN9lQ

oddly enough, one of the rims still has the machining marks in the surface. maybe that one is aftermarket? either way, they are going to look sweet. tires still have some life in them.

Just a reminder to everyone to make sure you're updating your build thread too. took my half-a-jeep into town to pick up some new shoes. (the shoes will be for the Libby)

I put my mini-CB up above. I have a fullsize model that will eventually replace this and it'll be going in the dash where the radio was.

just scored a set of 5 TJ Rubicon rims with 245/75s on them. pics in the morning

it pains me to not go get these... https://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/wto/d/mazda-ranger-15-rims/6624942394.html

there is always a club card in my wallet. ya just never know when it might be needed. gave one away just a hour ago to the guy who sold me his TJ rims because he mentioned seeing a black MJ in the area on a regular basis.

If I had more skills (or at least a welder) I'd be all over that plan as my eldest nephew is pushing 8 and the little Jeep is becoming a bit of a squeeze. the beauty of the power wheels is that they can only get into so much trouble at 5mph. there are some PW websites out there and I've seen 4wd conversions, lifts, 18volt conversions and all sorts of crazyness.

those aussies really know how to build an RV. there seem to be a few companies down under doing offroad trailers.

I did the same thing.

I installed mine right before my trip out west and they were an absolute godsend on the freeway in kansas in summer with no AC! but the drivers side quickly showed it couldn't keep the rain out no matter what I did. I still have the pass side in place and usable. in fact, it's my trail mirror now. I stuck a 3" convex mirror to it and fold it out to see what the rear tire is doing.

start a build thread!

that suuuuucks.... down here in georgia I don't screw around with the wildlife. I lived the vast majority of my life in the suburbs of michigan and this place feels like a jungle. everything is just so dang aggressive! I regularly spray the perimeter for creepy crawlies ( we have a couple acres backed up to woods so I go as far as the 3 hoses together reach) and concede the back acre of woods to the critters for the entire summer time. I'm a live and let live kind of guy but this place is just nuts. like, cleanse it with fire kind of nuts. I say kill it all!!!

impressive truck! your "big Jeep" skills are spot on, but you need to step up the "little Jeep" game. I added things like better gearing, better tires, better steering wheel, and a multi-position seat (for my older nephew), but the best part is under the seat hides a lawn tractor battery. still only 12 volts, but gives a ton more play time!

also do the headlight relay upgrade too

not too modern though. it simply wouldn't be the same if it wasn't just a little bit scary.

braking upgrades are always good!

another 2.5 is by far the easiest fix. what happened to the engine?
