Jackrabbit41 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 Got the T-handle, nice. I went with the old round ball, more comfortable in my hands. So are you like me now and think it was worth every penny? :yes: For sure! I love it. I actually ordered the ball but they sent me the T but I like it

I can wiggle it by hand. And my current trannys really leaky and has a bad synchro or two also, hiding the RC doesnt change anything unless you swap to something other than RC!!! keep up the good work I torqued them down to spec but obviously something isn't right haha
Jackrabbit41 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Second ax15 swap in progress. So far smooth sailing. Just need to bolt on bell housing, shifter, fork and bearings then re seal the transfer case and she'll be ready to go in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jackrabbit41 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Posted September 12, 2016 I put in the wrong flywheel on so I had to pull out the tranny and swap fly wheels and then put her all back together. Running good and shifting smooth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jackrabbit41 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Posted September 19, 2016 Put in some 1.75 inch cool spacers. I know there not the best thing but they were only 30$ so I went for it. I like the new look though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
gogmorgo Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 "Only $30" is a good reason not to go for it. Keeping your wheels attached is pretty important. Too important not to get quality parts. It's not just your own safety you need to think about, but also the safety of everyone else on or around the road.

And they were only 30$ cus I just had to pay for the shipping
Jackrabbit41 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Posted October 12, 2016 So bad news y'all: Just got s 686$ ticket So I just left school and I hadn't put my seatbelt on which was stupid, my mistake, but I also didn't have my insurance card with me so the officer thought I had none, no mudflaps, and then I had a knife in my truck on school campus. I wasn't driving like an idiot. Perfectly safe. Pissed about it. I'm going to fight it though, just sent in the ticket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jackrabbit41 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Posted October 12, 2016 Oh and another thing that sucks is that this cop is camped out at my school everyday, so i actually have to put on mud flaps within 10-15 days or else ill get another ticket. Everyone in my area, very liberal town, drives subareas and VW's so i kinda stand out lol. I hate the look of mud flaps.
sang_route Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I had the same problem. I ended up taking some square tube and a bit of square rod and made a bracket. few holes and a free mudflap that fell off a semi I got a pair of removable mudflaps. If you got a drill and a angle grinder its a simple project, and works just like the factory semi ones.
Jackrabbit41 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 I just want a clean look but Ill give it a whirl thanks!

Everyone in my area, very liberal town, drives subareas and VW's so i kinda stand out lol. I hate the look of mud flaps. The cop did his job as he should have. You made yourself stand out, lol, both on your truck and by forgetting basic common sense things, lol, and your pissed about it? Pay the fine, learn from it, and CYOA always in the future. Been there, done that, as I'm sure most of us have. :cheers:
gogmorgo Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 It feels pretty bitter getting a ticket, but the cop's just out there doing his job. The lifted 4x4 community is looked upon as offensive to a lot of the people making the rules, so in order to stay in the game, you have to play by their rules, as anything you do will impact the reputation of everyone else in the community. Mud flaps prevent mud and stones from getting flung at people, or other people's cars that they care about just as much as you care about your MJ. I remember as a kid sitting in my parents van and watching a rock come flying and shattering the window right beside me. I can't guarantee it was flung by someone without mud flaps, but I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed taking it to the face if the window had been open. My mj's still mostly stock, but once it goes up with bigger tires, there will definitely be flaps on it.
Minuit Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I know you're getting dogpiled but there's a reason for mudflap laws. Just had to have my father's windshield replaced because of a rock thrown up by a lifted truck's tires. As for the other stuff, live and learn. I'm not even that old and I realize how dumb I used to be when I was in high school. There's published proof of it if you look at some of my past CC posts.
gogmorgo Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I still consider myself young and dumb. Haha.
Minuit Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 As much as I'd like to say I'm not dumb, I haven't come across any evidence that it's true. :doh:
Jackrabbit41 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Posted October 14, 2016 I respect cops fully, but I live right by WWU and the cops around here just try to get you for anything. My friend got a 146$ for going 4 over, not even in a busy area or neighborhood. 39 in a 35
Wiggilez Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 i feel your pain, I needed to get new copies of my papers so my insurance company sent me some temp ones, I gave them to the cop he said they weren't proof enough and still got a ticket for no insurances :(
