89JeepMJ Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 thanks for the info on the thermo housing. ive been looking for one :thumbsup:
codymanche Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 As far as the tire my buddy's have them and got like a an Offroad warranty from discount tires and any hole or puncture in the sidewall they got a new tire. And of course it was like an extra 100 bucks a tires but sounded like a deal to me
RynoMJ Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 thanks for the info on the thermo housing. ive been looking for one :thumbsup: No problem, idk if the high flow has any effect but every little bit helps I guess and i plan on putting a temp gauge in the threads since the stock temp gauge is usless. As far as the tire my buddy's have them and got like a an Offroad warranty from discount tires and any hole or puncture in the sidewall they got a new tire. And of course it was like an extra 100 bucks a tires but sounded like a deal to me Yea I didn't feel the warranty was necessary, this isnt my daily driver after all. The price on these tires have really come down in the last year.
RynoMJ Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Off to get paint 4-6 weeks time to save for gears in the mean time.
buffalob Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 wish you luck on 4 to 6 weeks at the paint shop...today is 9 weeks since I dropped mine off..... Your build is impressive and the truck looks great....what color?
RynoMJ Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Staying red? Staying red. Little bit brighter though! wish you luck on 4 to 6 weeks at the paint shop...today is 9 weeks since I dropped mine off..... Your build is impressive and the truck looks great....what color? Damn! 9 weeks? What color are you getting yours painted? Very jealous of your rear bumper and tire carrier. I'm also going with the flat flares, Unfortunately I may be forced to keep the stock flares in the back, I just couldn't get the damn things lined up and I'm not going to mess around with it once it's painted. :drool:
buffalob Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 the color as I told the painter... will be as close to the same metalic gunmetal as is on the pintler wheels as you can get it without going to a custom color I can't match later when I have the trailer painted. So closest color (in jeepspeak) would be silverstone...... When I get it back will be happy to send pics of the rear flat tops going on... yeah there is a bit of a gap in the back on the rear body line that you can see on my build thread but I can live with it. When I hit the bottom of the body/ bumpers sliders etc with spray on bed liner (probably going with lineX. in a complementary dark grey...not black as I had em before) I am hoping to hide that mis-match a bit more... I am really diggin your wheel/ tire combo btw....

I am really diggin your wheel/ tire combo btw.... Very nice! Love the gun metal color. I picked out what I believe to be the red on newer cherokees, but I mean who knows what color he actually will paint it. As long as its red I'll be happy. Would love to see pics of it going back together. The gap on the fenders wouldn't bother me either. The truck had been side swiped at some point in its life right before the rear wheel well so I think the wrinkle is what as giving me a hard time lining up the bushwackers. Oh well. I think if I can get the old ones cleaned up and maybe painted they should look good. I did toss around the idea of doing the lower half of the truck in black linex but i'm kind of shying away from that, might be too much black. I like your idea with the darker grey, should be a cool contrast. Was a pain in the @$$ to find the wheels but I'm very pleased with the way the wheels and tires looked. Plenty of time to get the rings mounted on them now.

RynoMJ Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 Not much of an update. Should have it back within the next 2 weeks. I have collected so many parts to throw on this thing in the mean time. Just got my gears yesterday. 4.88 for the 30 and the 8.8. Still waiting on the Detroit for the rear. I hate to put money into a D30 that I know will not last very long but I don't have any other options right now. Been itching to get this thing back!
Dirteatr717 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I've been jumping my truck quite often lately and the 30 seems to be holding up, I have to change ujoints every so often with 33s but an open front on 35s will be fine
RynoMJ Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 Now is a good time to start collecting parts for a swap at some point in the future.
RynoMJ Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 If I'm doing the Ax-15 swap I might as well do it right!
Dirteatr717 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 dude thats not fair! Ive been looking for one for months!
xjustinx Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Have you been able to find a set of e-brake cables that work yet?
RynoMJ Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 where did you get carpet to fit? I bought the carpet from accmats.com. Fit like a dream. Have you been able to find a set of e-brake cables that work yet? As soon as I get it back I have a few Ideas I've been tossing around to try and get it to work.
RynoMJ Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Well well well. Look who I went to pick up today! More pics to follow!
xjrev10 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Looks like you got the flat flares on. I'm planning the same for my project.
buffalob Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 absolutely fantastic. So glad you got her home. and especially looking as awesome too. good to see you rockin the flat fender flares, they look great. Congratulations!!! Mine is getting real close to that point too.
RynoMJ Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Looks like you got the flat flares on. I'm planning the same for my project. Yes. The painted told me he really had to fight to get them to line up he did alot of work to the flares and the body to get them to look normal. I'll get some more close up pics. absolutely fantastic. So glad you got her home. and especially looking as awesome too. good to see you rockin the flat fender flares, they look great. Congratulations!!! Mine is getting real close to that point too. Thank you. Can't wait to see yours. I feel like we've been trying to keep each other positive through out this whole process haha. I think yours has been gone for even longer than mine too. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
