I had to do some minor trimming on my housing to get the truss to fit. My housing had this extra rib on the back and then the leaf spring pad. Excited to see how it turns out!
-
Nice, I got the same truss. Havent burned it in yet but got it fitted. I thought you could use the bigger k20 brakes and keep the same bolt pattern but I honestly can't remember.
-
What truss did you go with? You going to run the ford or cheby discs?

Awesome work!

Project 3rd Time is the Charm
Smokeyyank replied to 89eliminator's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Nice, glad it's ripping around. -
Got a lot done this weekend. Started to finish up the passenger side rocker. Now that I know what I should be doing took a lot less time and guess work. First need to do the cut and fold for the rear More hammering and some additional cutting. Found some bondo on the rear arch but nothing major. Few more little tweaks and then clean it up, weld it and seal it. Then started to fit the rear portion. Then chopped off the rear control arms mounts and clearing up the area where the rear stiffners will go. Have to cut out the rust area from the coil perch. Will just clean it up and use the stiffener as the new patch piece. Have brand new adjustable buckets for the rear going in too. Also got a new aux cooler for the tranny. Picked up a derlae 13750 for a killer deal. Have a few thoughts on mounting location but will see as I get some more things buttoned up. I'm also going to need another cooler for the power steering system. More than likely going with a single pass heat sink style.

Moved on to the passenger side. Got the front done. Need to cut and fold the rear fender to get that side done. Fn PITA but since I knew what to do taking a lot less time. The pinch seam piece and the area at the firewall are hell. Just tedious to get in there with proper tools to cut it out. Still got a ways to go but its awesome seeing it all come together.
-
Cool, thanks. Ill try and clean them out again.

Random question, I'm having issues with my turntable speed. Either not staying steady with speed or when its turned on nothing happening? I had cleaned it out when I got it and used some deoxit and fader lube. Was fine for past few years but acting up latley. Anyone with some more knowledge got insight? Do I need to clean it all again?

Been a while but today is a sad day. This absolute legend of hops and barley is no more. Thought I had a few more weeks but nope, It gone. My final can was glorious. Story goes, I picked this up on a whim a while ago and never looked back. Saw and figured hell for 13 bucks for a 12 pack how bad can it be? I mean its kirkland? Granted last kirkland beers have been blah. We'll it was so bad that I haven't stopped buying it because its so frucking good. Hence why I haven't really posted new beer, and I forgot Anywho guess I need to get back on rotation, but that'll be after Oktoberfest! Prost!

Can't argue with the final product looks great but good gosh is it a ton to get there.
-
Man I was ready to play the other day and my dumbass completely forgot in the midst of errands......
-
Didn't get a lot of free time this weekend but managed to start burning in one side. Few more little areas to weld on then put the outer cap on and move on to passenger.

Thank you! Ten years to create the great wall of Chico!

Project “Tomahawk”
Smokeyyank replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Appreciate the info. Never really used that stuff before so interesting to see it all. Smart thinking with the fader as the sub control. I find myself using that more in my setup than the volume. One song aounds great next, like wth. Doesn't help most music I listen too sounds like it was recorded by a racoon in a dumpster using a single along cassette player. -
Project “Tomahawk”
Smokeyyank replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Sexy! That dash and gauge cluster...... Is the amp mounted in the center console? In regards to the deck and sound quality how did you configure all of that? Can't imagine stock jeep audio components areup to task. Little out of my element but I remember things like pre amp output, filters, etc for a high quality deck and amp set up? -

Sweet! How does it sound in comparison? -
Finally got some time to get back in the garage after summer stuff. Still needing to get the rockers done. They are a royal PITA but I've been going slow to not have hack job. Got the front piece cut out and mocked up. Instructions from IRO are non existent so lots of test fitting, fix something and over and over again. Looks like there is a masive gap but It needs to be pushed further up and there's also the cap that goes over it. Then got the rear This B pilar sections was a bear, could not get it to fit the way it was supposed to so took the BFG and angle grinder to make it fit. IRO is saying you're supposed to weld the pilar to the back but there was no way in hell it would work. Then final mock up before I burn in the gussets.
