project "why can't i leave things alone"

[psifanboy]

bent this up last night turned out ok for just protecting winch a lil bit more

 

 

 

got the bed box mounted and the rock light brackets welded on.

 

had some old door bars from blazer laying around so did some mock up to figure out where and what i want to run tubes

[psifanboy]

got the power steering hose replaced last night and took it out for a lil trail riding here in town. not much but good for testing. Power steering sucks and need to trim my front bumper some,  but other than that it did good.

 

 

 

 

passenger wheel rubbing like a mofo here. driver droop is decent. 

 

sucks its at night but decent lil spot that i had trouble in my old tj in. walked right up

 

power steering fluid made it shine lol

haha thanks/ least some one is. I need to order my damn drive shafts so i can see how it does going highway speeds. ill be driving it around and working on the bugs until i get them . got my o ring kit for my oil filter adapter today so that should take care of my oil leak. fingers crossd

[wheelsaz08]

lookin good! any plans for hydro assist?

[psifanboy]

yes. i plan to go with a redneck ram full set up. my box is worn out so prolly get their rebuilt one and ram. my serpentine belt was kinda lose to maybe go back and try it out after i did that and see if i have better power steering. 

[psifanboy]

well last night i was bored and decided to mess with jeep a lil. I got the o rings replaced on the oil filter adapter and messed with interior a lil

 

O rings were flat and cracked

 

then i was thinking where would be a good location for my bluesea fuse block for all my accessories. So i was like well i am not using the passenger air bag so lets take a look in that area. so i decided to saw off the top of the air bag panel cause it had rubber on the bottom and works perfect for a hinge. the top hooks perfectly under the top of dash to. what u think?

 

 

Then i started on mounting cb and Radesign shifter. both need wired but i like the location.

Nice. I basically did their mods to my own box and pump and used a surplus center ram and hoses.

 

This things coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing how you finish out the bed

[psifanboy]

what axles do you have? i was looking at surplus center for a 8" ram and thought about tapping my own

[wheelsaz08]

Kingpin 60 front and a 60 rear. I'll be replacing the rear with a 14bff evetually.

 

I got an 8" ram then machined about a 1.5" internal spacer for it since I have about 6.5" from lock to lock

[psifanboy]

nice i need to measure my lock to lock. with the reid knuckles it seem that i lost some turning raduis. they got nice cast stops molded in. 

[psifanboy]

got a lil work done not much tho. lil wiring relay plate made up . bed floor bolted down and rear rock lights put in.

yup pretty good time. need to get this cooling issue ffigured out. hoping its a bad t stat. i bought the funnel that attaches to the rad cap to try n burp it but doesnt seem like its working right. just over flows and blow new coolant all over my bay. lol  idk if stat is opening when it should or what. 

[wheelsaz08]

ive got that same funnel and its always worked for me. i learned the hard way not to put the plug in and pull the funnel off while everythings still hot...

 

try boiling the tsat in a pot of water with a thermometer in it to see if it opens when it should

[cody4359]

Quit slacking and get that bed finished, I'm anxiouse to see it

need to check the front dif fluid. i noticed it was leaking oil so prolly whhen i do that seal ill buy a locker and install it. spool up front sucked

[psifanboy]

 The over heating issue hasnt been a problem for me lately its my power steering. I have tried 2 boxes 2 pumps, new high pressure line and return. Bled it 40 times back n forth not running, running 20 times, still whines once i start working it hard.  keep cativating the fluid. I tried vacuum pump to the res last night no change. 

 

new toy
