70barracuda

Just a small hint as to what its got...

Awesome. Put an order in already. Also took a look at them because I can't leave anything alone. Along with the mounts being wobbly it looks like the screw heads were being pulled through the backing of the rest. I used some lock washers (all I had that fit in the holes) and tightened them up. 90% of the wobble is gone. I may get slightly larger ones and see if it helps along with new door mounts.

Got my new tach mounted. Couldn't handle the tiny little digital one. Also got the grill from the 86 onto mine. Plenty more to cannibalize of it for mine.

Anyone got one? I'd like to have a slightly smaller wheel but from what I can tell from pictures they stick out further than factory. I already sit close to the wheel cause of my short legs for the clutch and I don't need it in my chest. Any feedback?

From what I can tell it looks like the door mounts are loose.

recently got some door panels that use the small single arm rest with 2 mounting holes. they wiggle and move all over the place even with the screws super tight. any fixes for that? i would rather have the hockey stick style but the door has the impressions for the small rest already and the other style won't cover them up. Plus i don't want to poke a hole in the panel, they are mint

It already lost about 5 pounds from just shutting the door

Yessir. I need some stuff off of it but after that it's fair game. (haven't decided if I want that bed light...)

This is why I want it though. Mint honey interior. I only needed the dash but these panels are in way better shape than mine I have now.

Tree fell on it

Apparently it was a plow truck from brand new. Factory set up.

Haha, it's probably the rustiest jeep I have ever seen. It's an 1986 long bed with a 2.8 and 5 speed. It's absolutely shot. But the interior is mint and I needed a honey dash for my 88 so for 300 bucks it's mine. I'll take some more pics once home today.

So I did a thing...

trying to stick with the factory hood because of how well the patina works on the truck. A new hood would be so out of place, but that one is really sweet

I don't think i should have over heating issues, the electric fan I have moves 3600cfm and so far today in 80 degree it never got above 205F. but I nearly burned my hand on the hood. I thought about hood spacers as well but along with looking 'off' , it still has the issue that the open area is right at the high pressure area at the base of the windshield. I need something along the lines of these: https://imgur.com/r/foxmustang/JN8wDPB https://circuitdreamer.com/product/parts/exterior/garagestar-universal-drop-vent-heat-extractor/

Never stopped working. Being AAA we have to be available anytime. Definitely not a lot of tows and if there is they are short ones. Nothing like last summer with the long distance stuff. I will say having to service dead batteries has gone up like crazy with people not driving for weeks then coming out to a dead battery. It has definitely gotten busier though within the last 2 weeks. I think people are just done with staying home and venturing out even though NJ isn't technically open yet.

Finally driving the manche after getting the LS swap "done". Noticed that thing puts out a TON of heat. Doesnt overheat at all, but I'd like to help evacuate the underhood heat. My only experience really is with my Cherokee and crawling. I have a cowl hood on that and it definitely helps with heat offroading. But I know that the base of the windshield is a high pressure area and at speed it actually forced into the engine bay creating a bad pressure area. I've looked into heat extractor types but with how close the hood is to the motor, cutting and folding down isn't really an option. Ideally I want the air to pass through the radiator and out the hood over the windshield. I was thinking using hood vents but setting them as close forward as possible. Sound okay? Any help would be great. Don't want a new hood, it'll look way out of place.

Did a quick wheel alignment today. Solved a shake I had in the front end. This thing is an absolute monster to drive. Stalled it out at a light today and then smoked the tires pulling away. Still getting used to the clutch.

I actually have the azenis saved it my eBay cart. Good to hear some feedback on them though. I would love to keep the 10 hole rims but I need 17s to clear the big brakes I want. Plus it'll fill the fender better.

I have the iron rock rocklink on my Cherokee and I love it. Never had an issue and it seems super strong. Better design then their older one for sure.

Too bad the cuda I want is easily 100k + , but there is a sweet looking rust pile of one for sale near me for 4k... That's just the super charger 😁. (fluid was low and I think it was cavitating at higher rpm. It's all good now )

Ain't that the truth. I finally tallied up my build list and cried. But then I drove it and all was better.

Catch can mounted and lines ran correctly now (might have had them backwards...)

I don't wanna say it's never gonna be painted, but definitely not now. I love the patina look too much. Super easy to use. Took me all of 5 minutes to enter the data for a base tune and now it's learning on its own. There are some pretty advanced features in it so definitely gonna have to read up on everything.
