flexinout Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Since I've owned it I have ordered and installed a rusty's adjustable track bar to recenter my axle,removed the fender flares and I purchased cheap les schwab 31x10.5's since my 235/75's were showing wires. Here is a little sway bar installed flex on the local 4wheel parts rti ramp.It made it up 4ft. Then I wondered how far i could get up backwards......my answer was just under 9ft.

Rymanrph Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I thought the purpose of the RTI ramp was to keep all the wheels planted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexinout Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 It is but it kept going and by the time i realized my front tire was getting close to starting up the ramp i was way off the ground. Those driving past were pretty shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flexinout Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hey thanks! Sad to report on the way home from camping the head gasket said no more. Being my daily this is a very big inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 so what engine you going to replace it with? :brows: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexinout Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Haven't been on here in a while, mostly because of work and the mj so I pulled the head and you could see where it just flat out blew out. I took it to the local shop and for 60 bucks had every surface plained and had the head hot tanked. After I got it back I lapped the valves then installed new stem seals. After lap- Ordered the felpro SD head gasket and ordered new head bolts. Decided the valve cover needed to be painted so I hit it with some mopar orange After I gathered various other gaskets and all i put the top end back together. I picked up a lifetime radiator from autozone for 109 and started converting to open loop. I located a heater control valve from a 91 and ran brand new hose. I also decided I wanted a bigger trans cooler so I snagged one from the local yard from an exploder Fits pretty well. I have a 10" efan in front of my condensor on the passenger side so it worked out well. also deleted all hard vac lines and ran my own, put a k&n e-1009 directly on the intake tube and used 5/8 barbs to plumb the ccv and fuel tank vent.

flexinout Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 I thought about that and stopped going up THanks, I still have a bunch of stuff I'd like to do to it, ie rear locker, bpi fab winch bumper, and some other general care. next step is new oil pan seeing as mine still leaks even with a new gasket and u/b all joints up front. During the Headgasket job I also did the xj cluster swap. I did a decent job notching for the shift indicator and the cluster was only 1400 miles off from my dummy cluster so i just left it.

flexinout Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Here is a picture of how well the trans cooler fits Well the used heater control valve split down the side on the way to the archery range yesterday. Lucky for me another archer had a flat head so a could loop the water pump and thermo housing lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexinout Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 She's got 450 miles since rebirth with pretty much no issues (knock on wood) Discovered when I run the fuel pump until the shut off clicks I loose a whole bunch of fuel from the tank and if its full and i turn sharp i get some spill out..... i suspect cracked filler neck hose. Anyone else have a similar issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
