H3RESQ Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 did you do little sluice? No, but I have. I was third in our group and by the time we got Jamie and Luke through we wanted to move on since ther were about 8 rigs waiting behind us. No question I would have made it....just would have been slow and methodical and annoyeed the hell out ofto the beater exo'd rigs behind me. LOL.
H3RESQ Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Here is a couple pics of me putting MJ to work this week. Ballons for Taylors b-day party last weekend. Working on removing a flower bed area to widen driveway. Notice I picked up some 31'son for the trailer too.
MiNi Beast Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 still looking good man. I want to come out sometime and wheel with you man. Digging the trailer with the new shoes. :MJ 2:

H3RESQ Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Went to No Roads Requird (don't fear the jeeper). Name and location changed. Its now at Fast Specialties in Vancouver, Wa. I got to run my truck on there Mustang Dyno. 170 horsepower, 218 torque to the rear wheels. Figure a 25% drop from drivetrain, and a 10% due to it being a Mustang dyno and flywheel is around.. 230hp/295t. They had three classes. JK, cj/yj/tj/xj/mj, and other. I recieved Best of Show for the CJ/YJ/TJ/XJ/MJ class. The old MJ had a good day...and got a new sticker.
H3RESQ Posted November 17, 2012 Author Posted November 17, 2012 whats new on this heap.... Well, its in the middle of getting the limiting straps with adjustable mounts, led backup lights, a proper license plate mount, new mudflap mounts (tweaked on fordyce), and its also getting a new PSC power steering box that is tapped for hydro assist. Just got fresh fluids in diffs, t-case, trans, motor, and coolant. I'll post pictures soon along with a couple pictures of the new Oil cooler, dual pod guage mount on a pillar and the new autometer oil pressure and trans temp guage that was installed just prior to my trip to Rubicon/Fordyce. I have been a little lazy on the updates, but I will get back on that.
platinum5.9 Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 We do need some updated pictures.....love this truck
Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Sorry if I missed it but what rate coils did you end up with? 14" travel COs right?
H3RESQ Posted November 26, 2012 Author Posted November 26, 2012 A little teaser pic of adjustable limit straps and new swaybar setup.
collkid Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 trying to make a perfect truck more perfect? #Win
H3RESQ Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 you should get a AEV diff slider :cheers: You offering mine back?
cody4359 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 nope, just saying one would be a nice finishing touch for such a perfect rig :D
H3RESQ Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 Rear is finished. Limit straps set, anti-rock re-done to allow full range ofnotion motion. It had to come up into bed so fenderwells were modified to accommodate. Nice...
MiNi Beast Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Like what you did on the bed inner hump if your into that jeep speed kinda way . Lol ok so how you cut the hump? Want to cut mine out and go stright and flat some for clearence and make a shelf and still maintain bed space to fit a 40" spare. But worrid on where to start cutting and not worry about going to far and lose bed side stiffness.

H3RESQ Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Ok guys, I have been a little lazy on the postings lately. I'll have up some pictures tomorrow of the new stuff. I do not think I have shown the new guages (oil pressure and trans temp), the new oil cooler, the limiting straps front and rear, the new PSC power steering box, or the new cover for the throttle position sensor, or the new cover to keep the elements off the ARB. I guess I better get my butt in gear tomorrow and get some pics and post up the progress. Cheers to you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR. I'll be going on a Hangover run tuesday and try and get some pics up from that as well. Cheers, Jason
H3RESQ Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Limiting straps in, ARB compressor cover done, cover done for tps censor, new mud flap mounts, oil pressure guage, trans temp guage installed, and a couple pics of my jeeps parking stall. I also finally put on my cc sticker, figure Ill just get another when I get around to powdercoating the cage.
