comanche12 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Those carbon is PART reason why not use seafoam? :smart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 part reason, maybe but a pea size hole in my valve was mostly the issue. I used sea foam when it first started slagging, but knew it was to be worse and internal problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 well steering fixed now, come to find out the death wobble symptoms was cause by the fact that my hy-steer arms were drilled wrong, to much taken out, so the nut would bottom out on the end not allowing it to fully tighten, 1/4" worth :( but fixed it and all is tight again.

MiNi Beast Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 was able to get a couple pics of the Jeep as it sits now. It is not the same without 37" tires on it. :( Just did a 10 min Rusto' paint job on it for the winter. looks good going down the highway, and all the runs give me an extra 10 hp. :yes: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 the skulls, I had bought a rocker sticker kit for $25 from auto zone. Turn out better then I expected I must say. wish i had bought a brand new electric wagner paint sprayer for the job then wouldn't of had the runs as i used a freebie one. But for $50 to have a new gun, $30 for a gallon of oil based paint, and $10 for tape, and just a nice day, can have a paint job on the rig for under $100 that is decent enough to spend $5 now and then at the car wash and not give a $#!& out on the trail about scratching it, as wal-mart stocks big cans of touch up paint. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â installed new O2 sensor, keep up the good gas mileage :fish: Â replaced left side brake line with 36" one, and got ChopperGar a Dog Party gift, a fire extinguisher. :rotfl2: Â before cut the front section of bed side and after they were cut for clearance. Â Now my bro has to play catch up so wanted a before pic next to mine, as he be ordering a 6.5" LA system from RC and putting it up on 35's. So here's that, this same bro that I wheeled with in AL and he had the Toyota truck. He has a 68 FJ-40 he is restoring so needed something to play with that he can scratch. :yes: Â Â Â buddy Dune Coon teaser shot of his XJ work. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Haven't gotten my rig up here yet but did manage to get out to wheel with some of the local guys. Hit one trail and lasted most of the day. lots of winching was done. Was one of the muddy trails, hitting up more rock trails later this month and looking forward to getting the rig up here and taken it out. Â My girl had a blast riding in the XJ and she is a big fan of mud. I rode with Todd in the jeep buggy and tasted some mud. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 lets just say we spent 3hrs just on this 1/4 mile stretch. :eek: Can't say I would have took my jeep through it. The buggy had had no problem of course he had a propane injected big block with a stacker case. So yeah I rode in the good jeep but still was pulling winch most of the day for the others. :yes: It was a blast, and so much more to wheel as well.
