DJM/78 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 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 !

CWLONGSHOT Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 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: CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 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!

wagon11 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegy410 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
