    '05 Wk Parts

    Well, you never know!!
  2. Post a pic! I plan to do the exact same thing with the same parts.
  3. I just wonder if there is any advantage to using the TSM manf brackets over these?
  4. Thanks Don. You hit the nail on the head.
  5. I have a MJ44 I plan to use. They are not worth more then a 8.25 up here. Some people pay stupid money for them I know. LOL The 8.25 that's in the truck is going in the 86 and the 86 will be rehomed. Thanks for the links. I was scoffing at the price of the whole kit, not the brackets. I would spend $250 for the brackets and the main question there was "what could I use for rotors and calipers?" Sorry that wasn't made clear. Yes I do plan someday to put cromo axles and a locker in the MJ 44. Just empty every pocket. I'm not cheap and never will be. Is it a crime to want brand new parts? But not pay 650 for friggen rear brakes?!
  6. Have you explored the northshore of Lake Superior via hwy 61 all the way up to Grand Portage? Get this book. http://www.walmart.com/ip/10844744?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227005160000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=t&wl3=42153606310&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=38001378310&veh=sem It's worth it. Brittany and I will probably make it a yearly thing to spend a few days exploring up there. Very cool.
  7. I have never messed with brakes other then changing pads and rotors and shoes. I am planning to replace the 8.25 in my project with a MJ d44. I have been driving myself crazy searching on here, naxja, pirate for a good write up for folks like me that don't have a clue what they are messing with pertaining to replacing rear drums with discs. Can anyone point out a thread (Ben) or build where someone detailed their install with all NEW parts? I'd rather not to dig around a junkyard for a day to pull parts off a ZJ or another factory equipped vehicle. There's always this: http://www.tsmmfg.com/2562-44.html But ooffda, that's a lot of cash. I have seen where folks have bought the TSM brackets and where able to source their own rotors and calipers. Like Monte Carlo stuff or caddy stuff from the 80s. But I was not successful in finding a thread that states what works! I have a WJ master/booster installed with the stock XJ prop valve which I haven't messed with yet either.
  8. I'd go 35s on a LWB. Get its @$$ off the ground a bit more.

    I have a factory engine skid, rock rails and a ROLA roof rack for a WK..
  10. Maybe next year. Think I told you the same thing on FB earlier. Haha And I'll probably be in my JK..
  11. Yep. I have no use for them. Somebody paid over $500 for these installed!!!
  12. Ordered one of these a few days ago. 2015 Skidoo Renegade BackCountry X 800 etec Can't wait till October. Then it will be can't wait for snow.
  13. I should be keeping this around for awhile. I was having Cummins withdrawals. I survived about a month since I traded my last one in. This one popped up on a local dealer lot. I owned a reg cab CTD before and said I'd never have another but I really like the look. Gonna have to get a tool box maybe. Specially if I'm going to be using it as a plow truck the reg cab has it advantages. The truck is a early build 2003. That means it's got a 47re auto, not the 48re like the rest of the 3rd gen trucks. But it's a common rail 5.9 which I have never owned. I have had 3 different 6.7s and one 2nd gen vp44 truck. It's got 194k but runs as drives like 50k. Here's when I first got it home. I spent today removing the flares and replacing the headlights. The fender flare installer removed the cummins emblem from the fender but left the adhesive behind. Took a good hour to get that crap off. Removing the flares showed me the typical fender rust on the box that every 10 year old truck has up here.. I do plan to have it repaired. Still undecided if I'm going to totally debadge the truck. Keeping the cummins emblem tho. After a bath. Lots of dirt under the fender flares. Oh and new headlights. Not sure if I like them or not. They are LED projector type. Got a deal on them. But I kept the stock ones just in case. Coming up... -Body rust repair -New BOSS 7'6" straight blade. Previous owner just installed a plow/undercarriage before he traded it. It's only plowed a few times. But he kept the plow and wiring. - Stainless 5" exhaust/CAI -tow mirrors -Bigger tires. 35s probably on stock wheels. -leveling kit with new longer control arms maybe. (Need longer arms for 35s to clear with a leveling kit) -aftermarket stereo -built trans -no added power, at least not for awhile But I really need to work on my MJ so the big stuff is gonna have to wait. Huh well I guess most of it is big stuff.....ahh.
  14. Or TP. I know. Ordered a 2015 skidoo backcountry x 800 etec this week. Hope a ship comes in. ;)
  15. New tow rig. GC is gone. 03 cummins
  16. Do it. I'm swapping one soon into mine.
  17. Believe Tom still offers a percentage off for springs for CC. Hell Creek.
  18. Ever hear a good song and get goosebumps? This will give you goosebumps!
  19. Thanks for posting this.
  20. That was one of my thoughts about the injector. Maintenance hasn't really a top priority.....sorry to say but true.
  21. Ok. That's gonna be a 2 man job to do that I suppose. See what I can find out.
