It seems with the new update, Your pic url gets converted to the actual picture in the text editor box, And ten you cannot properly add text where you'd like it, My problem is, I have my build thread on more than one forum, That being said, it is now completley unable to just quote/copy what wrote from this dite, And paste onto another site, Which is a great pain, since I then need to re type evrything and then manually slect all the pics I need and add the "" brackets, So what I'm getting at is, Is there a way for the picture conversion to be disabled when you quote/preview your text? Its a royal pain and I have given up on udating to other sites because of it

Looking good sir, Watch out for your sparkplug wires tho, If you have a break in your shielded insulation on the wwires, It will cause it to find the easiest path to grond, which may be another spark plug, Other than that great work, and amazing detail

been a long time since ive updated this thread, i am currently upnorth in dawsoncreek finishing my aircraft maintenance schooling, so i rushed to get my truck finished for up there Drivers side floor pans removed pans all prepped to go into my truck theese floor pans are out of a cherokee (96) it was a lot of work but i made them fit, perfect by no means but a hell of alot better than before (many thanks to my neighbor for as i couldnt have done it without him) the pan style is completly different from the center brace back so i had to rework the entire metal of the pan to suite my needs mock fit amongst many my rocker was rotten through here so i had to remove it, bye bye in with the new repairing the inner pan of rot, i had to do the same to the other side as well cutting the pans to fit in this photo you can see the shear difference of the cherokee style of pan in the rear, i had to rework all that metal for it to fit, and weld all the holes up that were not nessicary the other side went much smoother because i was able to keep most of the original pan, i had to rework this side the same way, the hole on the left with the 3 smaller holes is for a seat bolt/brace from the newer 91+ cherokee seats (yes i can now directly bolt in 97+ leather seats, which is one of the reasons why i decided to go with theese pans/brackets) my drivers side seatbelt bolt was completley rusted to the nut on the inside of the rocker, so i had to chop that out and make a new peice with a new nut on the inside (yet another setback to the repairing process) this is the passenger side all welded together, at this point i seam sealed it all up and called her good for now, bolted the seat in and went up to dawsoncreek to finish my schooling i don't have pics of it fully buttoned up because i was in a rush to get up here, it is a little dark out now, so when i get a chance i will snap a few photo's of the semi complete floor pans, they are only primed at the moment, and i need to re-prime the drivers side when i get home, it is showing signs of minor surface rust due to all the salt on the roads and my feet, more to come keep on jeepin :D

Can't wait to see more pics, And tech questions will get answered a lot faster in the tech section, Keep on jeepin :D

Yes! Funny you should mention that,I met you! I was the guy in the lead acid battery shop,Hal introduced me to ya.And 89comanche my truck is prre much complete,And my course is done in febuary

Before I put new floor pans into my rig I just reached in through the rust hole and unlocked the door, Other than that, do what mini beast did, $20 at PNP and you got a new one

Filling/burping a closed system is easier than it is made out to be, Remove the upper rad hose going to the Tstat hold that hose comepletly straight up in the air, FiLling the hose to the to the rim, This will gravity feed/purge the entire system, Once it is completley purged the anti freeze will come out of the tast fitting where the rad hose goes on, Clamp the hose back on, fill up the overflow resivoir and you are done.

amazing work sir!

jealous, i want that light bar!! hows university going? i took my manche up to dawsoncreek to finish my aircraft maintenance course

well deserved MJOTM congrats dude

Use a magnet on suspected areas, If it sticks, then theres metal, Also dpo a tap test, you can hear different tones from good /rotten metal, I paid $1800 for mine, bur I had to build it still

looks good, but last pic shows your flange is cracked :thumbsup:

i spy the back of your box is now black ?

good thing your donor has a spare! :yes:

to each thier own, i loved my 4 cyl's they had way more pep than my 6 cyl manches, don't listen to darren, he doest even have a comanche :rotf: the last manche i bought was for $1800, post some pics and we can tell ya how much we think its woth :thumbsup:

ax-15 is about 80-90 pounds tcase is 40, i installed both without a jack, did it in 2 parts

Great build, and even better price!

it was alot more work than all 3 of the beds combined, ill see if i can dig it up, ultimate aftermarket truck bed!!!

thanks guys! and Dadinator no i didnt change the rms at the same time, it is still sealing and i have plans to build a stroker after I'm done school in February :D mountain man, id like to say yes 90% sure i did XD time for an update, been slacking a bit i need my floor pans done asap floor removed, doesnt look half bad i must say everything sand blasted, ready to be galvanized i hit it with rust converter ofcourse to be on the safe side then i galvanized it and some fun at work! didnt go too high because i was getting looks from customers xD more to come!

The exact honcho in the pic on page 5 is forsale for 1200 us on my local 4x4 board :P

i use lordco for all my needs, its 5 mins away from my house and if i don't make it in time theres another one 20 mins away open for another 3 hours, I'm a daily regular there XD something always needs replacing or fixing so i know all the staff that work there, they say I'm one of the more difficult customers XD (i think they are teasin me tho) i get about 45-55% off, and if i can get a better deal they give it to me, theres not many things i cannot acquire trough them, what ever i can't i get made at truckworx customer service is key to buying parts, theres only one guy i don't like dealing with just because hes not the greatest at finding my needed items, but when i do i like to make him look up every thing because it drives him nuts, over all i think I'm one of the lucky ones on having well priced, good staffed parts store

I did soa and got about 7.5 inches of lift, I love it, I used heavy duty leaf spring perches for no axle wrap, Go for It if you need flex and clear bigger tires, Just get your pinion angle correct, I've had no problems

bump?

*edits* wrong one finding it :thumbsup:

decided to chamge my oil pan gasket, this is what my truck should look like for lift wise, next year ill get some long arms the gasket oil pan ready to fall pan out and cleaned lip, i also wire wheeled the bottom of the engine block on the sealing surface and installed now, rust repair as far as i have gotten with the drivers side now onto the passenger side 1st brace out drilling spot welds out, 2nd brace out and what was underneath, plan is to remove all the metal from the unibody rail to the right and replace it all, then to start on the left after i get the right welded and seam sealed
