yes i am :bowdown: its about 130 miles from me

go through there on my way to surf

new photo sorting out the rig for offroading. with new springs the set will be different, most of the inprovements will be internal. :banana: [/img]

i have rusties on my mj. they are$90.00 per side :D [/img]

i said it backwards. i change the filter every time and the oil every other time. if i prerun i change the oil afterwards.

the reason i changed the battery and cables is they were all bad, plus, my truck weighs 2200 lbs in front and 1400 lbs in back. next to the battery i'm installing a 32 gal fuel cell, next to that a lock box for whatever. on the battery side of the truck bed, i'm making a quick release holder for my two spare tires. also a brace for the middle of the bed. plus at least two 5 gal gas cans for the motorcycle guys. camping gear. that will bring the rear weight to 2000 to 2100 lbs. approx. maybe even 2200 lbs. i haven't calculated the exact weight yet. i don't like the battery hanging out on the front of the rig. i once found battery acid all over that part of the fender. the goal is as much weight as possible, inboard of the axles. :D

i removed the curved part of the seat bracket and made two brackets to level the seat, and to be able to bolt it in.[/img]

i use mobil 1, change it every 3000 miles, :popcorn: use a good filter and change it every other oil change.

don't know why pics went sideways. i used # 2 welding cable ang strung it through 3/4 " garden hose where it went along the frame. i changed things up front to get it away from the motor.

i have now changed the battery location. took longer to finish then expected. [/img][/img][/img][/img]

eugene,oregon

just had a new windshield installed. i paid $75.00 & insurance paid $267.00 8)

old mechanics trick. works great

what a bunch of cool posts. your all right- raising your kid or kids is the most important thing you will do. :D

69 going to 70.

i'm running bilsteins 5150's. on my bmw i use bilstein sport shocks. they are a great company and build great shocks.

for tie rod ends, take water pump pliers and squeeze the tie rod top to bottom, any play baaad it is :popcorn:

according to the guy who r&r my axles, he said most of the scout guys left the inner one out. so thats what i did.

i ran 3.55 's with 33 's . 5th gear was for going down hill only. 3.07 's sounds horrible. ba-5 trans :eek:

what size motors

that makes sense after looking at it. tomorrow i will see if it will snap together. stay tuned :USAflag:

thanks, i took the cluster loose, not sure whats missing. i'll take your suggestion and look at the cable to see where is the best place on mine to secure it. :cheers:

i have a 88mj with a transplanted ax15. can i just replace the clip at speedometer or does the whole thing need to be.
