88pioneer Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Did a few little things, painted the bottom portion of the truck black, and added some cheapo wal mart lights to the bumper, which are surprisingly bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaffeineSam Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 A shame no one will see this hub, it's all nice and shiny ! 'bout those ballast resistors... so we have low-impedance injectors ? Not yet useful, but interesting... looks like u have a scratch or hair on ur lens,other wise lookin good It's moving from pic to pic, maybe it's more an issue with the memory card.

88pioneer Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 not much of an update, front hubs are done. Now to the alignment shop, and hopefully get rid of my front end shake..... hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pioneer Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 the other day while driving to school i heard a nice thud and then got a real bad vibration in the front end. Took it home, and went to school. Came home looked at it, looked like a problem with the PS axle shaft. Pulled the whole axle apart, and didn't find anything besides enough sand to build a sandcastle left in the axle tubes :ack: . Then i remembered that my front drive shaft universal was making all kinds of noise a few days before this all happened. Checked and sure enough the universal was totally shot. Got a drive shaft from the junkyard today and put it in. Not only did it fix the shake, it took away all of my front end shake :yes: :clapping: :banana: :chillin: :D . Now all i need is an alignment and the front end should be much better than it has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche13 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 do you have any audio of your cherry bomb exhaust I always wanted to know what it would sound like with one I'm scared it might sound like a rice rocket with the big exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pioneer Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Finally i have something worth an update.... Had a very productive day in comanche land. Made $225 bucks :banana: selling off my spare bed, bumper, and hitch, and also handed off a comanche club card to the guy so he should be stopping by here. I finally got my gauge swap done with the help of a new oil pressure sensor and temp switch Put the newly recovered headliner back in :clapping: . Looks muuuuuch better than the orange board that used to rain down pieces as i drove along. And got my trans mount swapped and didn't break any bolts :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pioneer Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Christmas came early today, got my new shocks Image Not Found dropped the hammer on some bilstein 5100's, gonna put them in tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pioneer Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Put the bilsteins in, with a good fight from because they were too long. :fs2: I was told to get one size bigger on these, good thing i didn't or i would really be up a creek, shoulda gone one size smaller. They ride great, but now i'm going to have to do an add a leaf to get the back end up enough :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM/78 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 How does those upper shock mounts look ? I found one of mine snapped off , so it was a good time to replace and weld in new mounts when I did my shocks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pioneer Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 The mounts are good. The originals used to be in front of the axle but one snapped, so now there behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pioneer Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Got an 8.8 for the rear, almost ready to go in. Getting ready to pull the carpet an do some rust repair. Sorry no pics yet, my phone broke :fs2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4Lo Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Put the bilsteins in, with a good fight from because they were too long. :fs2: I was told to get one size bigger on these, good thing i didn't or i would really be up a creek, shoulda gone one size smaller. They ride great, but now i'm going to have to do an add a leaf to get the back end up enough :mad: Nice shocks...I have the 5100s on my MJ as well. I had the same problem with the 12" travel 5100s being too long in front. I found that the 10" travel shocks work the best all around with about 6-7" of lift, ie SOA rear. I have my rears set at about 4.5" uptravel and 5.5" downtravel. The nice thing about the 5100s is if they are like new you can get 95% of your money back by selling them online and just buy you another set of the shorter shocks.

88pioneer Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Already sold the set, an bought some 9" travel 5100's. Ended up selling them to 89eliminator. I went with the 9" because my back end is only riding at about 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
