86FUBAR

Ya i hate to agree , iv always wanted to paint mine od green with the star and lettering and all that but more and more people are doing it but one day ill muster up and get it done . right now I'm leaning towards desert camo but we will see. the ride is looking schweet keep it up

that DUPLI-COLOR is crap any way u put it don't wast ur time

ya we use the brown rope ones to but i forgot to mention that i also put some of the ruber cement on the plug befor instalation

I use plugs / patches and slime at work ( I'm a schoolbus/everything mechanic) all the time .plugs when properly used work great on allmost anything from mowers to maintnence trucks. slime works good in mowers and such nothing more. and patches are all that get used in the buses period. my .02 cents

I would wire wheel them then possibly a rust converter and then primer and paint , i like rustoleum ,and por15 kicks a$$ but is expensive

I'm no expert but i don't believe the stock crosmember is sturdy enuf for what ur tryn to do, i would ditch what u got right now and start fabing from scratch . but since u got money flying around try picking up a pre fabed one .

id be down but the manch isnt in the wheelable state of mind and i think holister hills is a good meeting point ?

I just kinda guessed on the over fill :dunno: maby a quart

id help but the kid and work don't offer up much time to even wrench on my own junk but will offer my help/advice as best i can . I'm in monterey mason

I put 98 tj shafts in my 86 manch and instead of doing the inner seal i just put tube seals on it and over filled the housing a bit and have yet to have any problems.

Can you make a leak down tester?? I've looked for them and can't find them without its own compressor for like under 5 bills.... was thinking if you just had one of those small air tanks and a better gauge, hooked up to a hose from a compression tester screwed in to your plug hole you might be able to get a good leak down reading i agree with LEAD_N_F do the leak down , that should tell u more. u could make ur own but hear are some nice ones that are reasonable priced. u want the dual guage http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch ... lse&N=+115

a little update finaly got some time to do a little work on the manch today , i managed to cut off the the old rocker guards to make room for the new ones I'm building wire in the backup lights that are in the bumper and rewire the amp so it stops draining the battery and shortened the winch power cables . then topped all that off with some fresh paint on both bumpers. not much but it sure was nice to do something on it

i don't know that they will fit , remember u have some bracketry on the stock covers , minor details but if it works cool . and let me know how the cam works out please

Thats a good one. I like the one Pats dad showed me. Who needs snow, Looks like fun. :bowdown: i want to do that so bad , or at least ride a snowmobile before i die .

that was a wicked jump , just wish they showed more of the aftermath and that v12 model is sick , but check this out . can't remember where i saw this at but it is a must watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyKLMTxpZs8

:nuts: u aint gona compromise the integrity of the bed. Get u some sheet metal , ziz wheel and a welder . then u cut out rust , bend sheet metal to fit/fill the hole then weld it in ,grind and smooth as necessary , primer -paint and ur done.

:thumbsup: :USAflag: :USAflag: :USAflag: THANK U

yes a vacum leak could cause a high idle and that could have been "fixed" by adjusting the idle screw. best thing to do is go through all of the vacume lines and replace everything

yes desert camo would be cool , iv been toying with the idea of doin it to mine but my manche is beigh to begin with and as far the black white and grey thing goes that is ugly IMHO. :needpics: i always wanted to do that :D

i was kinda lucky in that when that law came about was when i got my liscence (like 7 years ago) so i was kinda granfathered in . was still illegal but no one realy took it to seriously

Oregon's laws are to discourage Californians from moving there. :D Thats funny :roll: but calli laws are just about the same

this is what i got hope that helps :cheers:

order when ever u want pete I'm in no hurry

Yes, that is correct. I did not explain completely on that one, but that's what I did. ;) The shop did not take it off, but because it was not there to start with, they were not required to put one on. When i lived in NC i wanted to take the 2 chamber flows i had on my 75 ramcharger (true duals with a crossover) off and put some 1 chambers on but the retard at the N A P A said he couldnt do the work because it didnt have any cats on it , even though it didnt come factory with cats, then the p-hole tried to sell me a set of cats for 400 bucks :headpop:
