89 MJ Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Why do you not have the hood painted like the rest of the body, out of curiosity? Is it because of the weight of the bedliner paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryedaddy Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 The new year brings new projects. I received a set of 37x14.5 Toyos and will be installing them next week. I’m welding the drop bracket to my track bar. Experienced death wobble a few times and thought it was fixed but it wasn’t. Finally figured out the drop bracket was the culprit. Will be adding a stainless exhaust and 4 or 12 hole injectors as well. Hope to be complete with my mods by February. We’re supposed to be going to Moab this year but not certain Covid hasn’t put a hamper on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If you are using the drop bracket, go ahead and weld it. It appears that the factory bolts have too much leverage against them once the drop bracket is mounted. After my Windrock trip, I had my brother watch the bracket when I would turn. The bracket would move, even with me tightening the bolts as tight as I could.

Fryedaddy Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 The Manche got some new shoes. It will barely fit in my garage now. I have to pull the pin from my garage door opener and slide the door as far forward to get enough height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
