I used 5 inches but they were a little long so I'm gonna try 4 inch grade 8s tomorrow

Back in September I out a motor on a motor stand no trouble but now, I have a different motor stand and the thing can't go wide enough to fit all 4 on the motor so i tried 3 and my grade 5 bolts all bent lol. The hardware store guy said grade 5 cus grade 8 would snap.

thanks

So I got a 89 renix and I'm gonna start tearing it apart so I can take it to get machined. I know there's a stroker forum but I just don't wanna make an account at the moment so sorry y'all. My questions is, when taking out the insides, what should I keep? I'm doing a 4.7l. What can I junk and what do I need to keep organized to use later? Thanks

I need to get some bolts to put my motor on its stand, what's the thread in a 89 renix? I want to get like 3 or 4 grade 8s

Well today I picked up a 89 renix and over this summer very slowly I will build it up into a 4.7 stroker. Can't wait. Motor has 121000 on it and it came with everything. Got it for only 150$!! But loading it was very tough because the cherry picker was broken. Took 2 hours lol The kids dads wrangler was dope too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I got it for 150$! It's in good shape too

I'm texting this guy and he wants me to give him a price. All I know is it's a 89 renix, it ran when pulled and has everything on it.

Ya I found a guy that has a 89 renix that I think I'm gonna pick up soon. I'm so excited to start. I've been doin some reading but I need to do a lot more lol.

So I'm trying to find a 4.0 to build a 4.6 or 4.7 stroker out of and I'd like to stay renix. Do many people stroke renixs? I just don't really wanna deal with swapping to HO. Or should I? Also renixs were in 87-89 right? Thanks yall

This is one of my favorites

Lol o have the same thing. It gets really Hot though. The engine heat comes up through it

Could you recommended one? So many options

Thanks, I'll look into it

So i really want to build a bed cage and head rack. I want a cage mostly for tree protection, but also for roll overs (i hope to god that'll never happen). I used some schedule 40 pipe to make a friends bumper and my harbor freight bender worked amazingly on that. It did a 40 degree bend with no kinks or dents. I was going to use schedule 40 for my cage, but then i thought to my self that i wanna look back on the cage and know its built right and strong. I wanna do it right the first time. Just wondering what kinda bender y'all have/use and if anyones tried bending dom on a harbor frieght bender? I'm gonna try it but I just don't wanna waste money on DOM. Thanks and if anyone has any pics of their cages, that'd be awesome.

Wait why is it so special?

I have napiers and they are amazing. I made a YouTube video about them and the owner saw it and commented on it. Doug Napier is awesome guy. One of mine is cracking but they're sending me a new one! I love this company

I'll try some of this when I have time this weekend. I only bed line the floorboards and what I could reach on the fire wall. I didn't go able the fuse box and pedal mounts

I want one I'll pm you soon

I am amazed at the quality of these bends Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe. I'll pull off the split loom and separate them here in a bit

Ok thanks. The weird thing is before I had the power and rca right next to each other like I do now but now it's whining but ill separate everything

Yes very close

About a month ago I put in 4 new speakers, an amp, and a self amplified sub. I already had a ken wood deck. Everything worked great no problems what so ever, sounds amazing. Then, this last weekend I pulled everything out of my truck to bed line the floor boards. Once I put everything back in, I now have speaker whine. But when I unplug the RCA cables from the sub it mostly goes away. Theres still a tiny tiny bit but its not bad. My grounds are good. I haven't tried running a ground to the negative terminal on the battery yet cus i don't have that long of a wire, but other then that my bounds are really good. I even tried bare metal on the frame and it still whines. When the RPMs go up, so does the whine. This never was around before I yanked everything out. Anyone got any ideas? I've looked up some things, but still can't find a fix. And just about an hour ago, I switched the 2 RCA cables going to the sub to see if that helped and now my speakers won't play any sound but the whine. The amp and sub are on, but no sound comes out from speakers. I wanna take it into my local music shop to see if they can help, but i got no money right now. I've spent hours trying to fix this, but haven't gotten anywhere. Pretty fed up with it. Its all brand new and my RCA cables are high quality with thick shielding so i doubt they're picking up any interference.

diggin it, looks like you have your sway bar attached! i bet it would have flexed alot nicer if it was undone for stuff like that, you undo it for offroading right? keep up with the awesome progress man!! Ya I try to but I forget a lot haha
