Jeepman Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 How she is sitting all cleaned up.... For Now that is... Next is the Custom Brembo's for the front axle Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
87comanche6994 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 i really like the bed cover. i tried searching for one before but came up empty, where did you get yours?
Alexia Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Looks like a Trifecta cover based on the logo. The new rims look great!
Jeepman Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 Yup It is a soft tri fold Extang trifecta. It wasn't easy to find the right fitment. This one that I am most happy with is From an 04-10 canyon/Colorado. As for where I got it well it came from my distributor. And thanks the rims are better looking then I expected they would look.
CobraMarty Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 What is your plan for the Brembo front calipers?
Jeepman Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 I already have a WJ front D30 so I will be installing a set of Front WK SRT8 front Brembo's and custom make caliper brackets, it should actually be pretty easy but that will have to wait... I recently lost #2 Cylinder and exploded the piston so I am expediting my 4.0L stroker (4.7) right now and Trans mods...
CobraMarty Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I really like the 18" rims and 35" tires. Looks awesome. With the 18" wheels, it really opens up the option of front brakes. Your rear's are ?14" rotors. You have to go 14" or 15" front rotors to keep a balance? Here is what I am putting on the front of 'RaceJeep' that we street and autocross with- 2013 Jeep GC SRT8 6 piston calipers and Shelby GT500 14" rotors (5x4.5")
Jeepman Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Looks good but I will be good with the matching front WK Brembo's and will upgrade all rotors to drilled and slotted eventually. I will look into the 2013 calipers if they are 6 piston as the 2008 is only 4 piston front and rears.
Jeepman Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Well Now that My good Old 4.0L Engine Blew up I Have been finishing up my New 4.0L stroked to a 4.7 and eventually Supercharge it but that will likely be next years project... My Block all cleaned and Bored out 60 over with all internals Balanced... Not going to cover the Internals as there are plenty of recipes out there to follow and each there own... My Brown Dog Engine mount kit However the Yellow did not work for me... My FlowKooler High Volume Water pump Good Old Timing Chain From HESCO that is for Degree-ing the Cam A little Internal Bling for me here... Getting ready to button it up A few More Accessories Added and Painted up That's all for now and More to come soon...
johnj92131 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Would be interested in the pistons you used. Looks like a bigger dish than stock - perhaps Hesco pistons for the supercharged engine? I still need to figure out what I want to do for pistons in my stroker build. Know I want to keep a stock cam shaft, just for reliability if nothing else. Looks like Hesco roller rockers also?
Jeepman Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 The Pistons are Keith-Black UEM-IC944 60over... The Roller Rockers are Harland Sharp 1.6 Non Adjustable... I went with Comp Cams 68-232-4 Cam Shaft
Zebvance Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 so are you using the original renix block? also what are you expecting for hp/tq. I have been planning on stroking mine here around tax return time
Jeepman Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 91 HO Block because I had one laying around that was Good and it should be in and around 300HP Naturally Aspirated 425HP with the Supercharger Give or take a few HP till I Dyno it...
Zebvance Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 When do you plan on having it done and dynoed?
Jeepman Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Done Very Soon maybe a week or two as I still need to assembly my Magnaflow Hot rod exhaust system and No immediate plans for the Dyno, just need to get my truck back up and running again... Some More Progress on the Engine... Transmission all cleaned up and Transgo Shift kit installed... Decided to Modify my Rough Country Long arm kit Crossmember because I do not like having to practically remove the front axle anytime I need to service the trans...
CobraMarty Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Looks great! Did you do anything to the head?
Jeepman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Reconditioned the Head with Larger SS Valves (supercharging at a later date) and I think machine work for the valve springs otherwise nothing major as I eventually planning on an Aluminum head down the road so testing this setup first... Was going to do a full port and polish but heard mixed reviews and since I have been eager to get my Truck back rolling I wasn't too worried about it right now... OH and installed Harland Sharp Roller rockers
Jeepman Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Time for a Few more updates... Custom Fan Bracket from my Dual 10" Electric fans... Ignore the Aluminum Rad as it was an EBay buy and was JUNK and only lasted me 2 weeks before it Died.. Then Opened up my Box of Exhaust Parts from MagnaFlow for my Custom Exhaust... My Magnaflow XL Muffler and High Flow OBDII Cat... Started Assembling my Collector Pipe... New Beside the Old... Completed Front Collector Pipe and welded in an 02 Bung in the cat... Now onto the rest of the Exhaust and then Fire this Bad boy Up...
Jeepman Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 A few more Exhaust shots... Still have to install the Chrome Tip
