What are you doing to your rig - the continuing saga

[kastein]

What were your pre-project current draws? Something feels fishy about that... not sure what. The OE fuses may have been sized to protect the wire, not the load.

 

[O-Gauge Steamer]

Screwed up and did not take the pre measurements. Perhaps someone else could chime in?

My bad entirely.

I can understand why Chryco fused each circuit. Makes sense given the low operating voltages.

Just for fun, I checked to see how my '98 ZJ is wired. It has a single 15 Amp fuse and a single 30 Amp fuse associated with the headlights. I also looked at the prints for a '93 ZJ which, although different, does share the single fuse per beam.

Near as I can tell, only the XJ has individual fusing per filament...

Finally did the rear main seal. Much easier the second time around, just an afternoon, including a parts run to Advance Auto, since I fubared the upper seal the first time I tried to install it.

 

[SeeingSpots]

It Lives! BWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! And it runs like a top.


Now I get to spend the long weekend cutting fenders, installing bumpers, armor, shocks, brakes, stereo, header panel - you know, the fun stuff. I'm stoked. Thanks Flores!

 

[old_man]

My first look at this made me question, shouldn't this have a couple of more jack stands?

Until I saw the one at the right.

 

[in4aride]

Damn Jim
That looks awesome. Super jealous.

 

[SeeingSpots]

Thanks Mike. Flores and his Minion helped out a ton.

Thats a hell of a grocery getter u got there Jim

 

[SeeingSpots]

Towed surprisingly well.

Dutch - What wheels are those?

 

[DutchVDub]

I'm pretty sure they're explorer procomp's. They're not real beadlocks, just a cheaper set of aluminum wheels. I needed 16's for the brand new KM2's I had left over from the XJ.

 

[SeeingSpots]

Well they look awesome.

 

[in4aride]

Jim. Look at method race wheels. Soooooo pretty. Want some for the Titan but if I get a work truck I'll likely be selling the T so no point.

 

[Boostwerks.com]

Played around with the forklift last friday after work...











Belly shot...



Working 2 shifts has been kicking my arse lately, so not much has been getting done. I can't wait to fab on this thing instead of these silly VW's

 

[UnlimitedMatt]

Is one of your shifts at Boostworks? You need to use my LJ as a test vehicle for a turbo. It would be great rolling advertising for you.

 

[SteveT]

Or hop up my TDI. More free advertising.

F**k TransAmerica Corp. Its build day and even though I ordered stuff A MONTH AGO you still couldn't manage to ship my rear shocks and shackles.Now I get to use my old, worn out shocks and old shackles until you can some how get my new parts to me--jackasses.:flamemad::flamemad:

 

[in4aride]

By that do you mean 4wp???

 

[planefixer]

By that do you mean 4wp???

No way- I'll only buy/order from 4WP if its my only choice. I ordered through a vendor (who, as far as I'm concerned, did their job promptly :thumbup but TA is the distributor so I'm at their mercy.

 

[in4aride]

Ya that always sucks. And the vendors have to suffer cuz people don't realize how it works. That's crappy deal man.

 

[DutchVDub]

Well they look awesome.

Thanks. I am happy with them and they were pretty cheap. I did splurge on the fake-lock look over plain ones, but hey I'm a wannabe baller.
