very little rust

 

runs great

then a lick of paint

 

olive drab green i rolled it so there was no spray lines plus it was cheaper to roll it then buy spray paint

2" coil spacers to level it out

I like the olive drab , before you change that main seal , check your valve cover .

They leak at the back and runs oil all down the back of the motor , giving the appearance of a faulty main seal .

Thats what mine was doing !

what size lift is on there now to fit 33s?

 

 

6.5 i believe its spoa in the rear rockers measure 24" behind cab 22" in front i need 2" spacers

 

 

 

for you other guys i had a 89 xj 4.0L and the rms went in it 2 hour change. but the valve cover gasket needs changed too its leaking in the back

 

 

i need to get my clutch figured out. it will be fine then you gotta pump it back up for pressure. we bled it 2 times now something is pulling in air

yeah i need to get some stuff for it.and there is like 8000 lbs of wheel weights on it. need to paint them black.

 

 

 

i need to buy and install 2" coil soacers to lift the front to match the rear

 

and build bumpers

 

i have a garage but 28" of snow puts a hault on things. i drive the jeep to save fuel in my truck

Holy wheel weights Batman! (RR tire). That's why I didn't even bother with my new tires.

 

I noticed that too!!!

 

I had a set balanced at Town Fair Tire once. (I use stick on weights as they are better for the rocks.) The kid had no idea what he was doing.... I was there for almost three hours... he was balancing them for MOST of that time!!! When I fineally got them, OH YEA, they where not on the vehicle, they where in the bed of the MJ!! A couple of them had 6-8oz on opposing sides!!! The freakin' kid put on too much weight and instead of removing part of it, he added more to the otherside to compinsate. I was rushed so I only complained, but left them on. Know what...the damn things run REALLY SMOOTH!!!! :doh: :doh: :doh:

no one likes my build up :( no new replies haha

 

I totally understand your feeling of being lonely... not too many looking at mine either.

 

I totally dig the green! Almost painted my old truck that same color but sold it instead. Cool truck though... I like the "business only" look! Simple, no frills... awesome!

2" masking tape and couple hours and some beer and its done. i scuffed it with a 3M red scotch brite pad

So you used a paint roller like you paint the inside of a house with? My uncle did that with some candy apple red on his f250 :doh: it looked really bad. Does yours look rough up close? It looks fine from where it is but it seems like it would have to be rough up close :dunno: With that color it shouldnt be bad though :thumbsup:

i like this alot almost what I'm looking to do with my mj do you think i could go with a smaller lift for 33s like a 4.5 or do your 33s just fit with the 6.5

 

i wanted 32's but i found all 4 33's for 200.00 couldnt pass it up
