HAHA my thread has a 1 star rating.

One star and three thumbs up!

Haha.

I got another treadwright A/t for free, because one of the tires didn't balance well, and it is wearing poorly.

I called them, sent a picture, and got a new one. Yay!

Oh, and it still vibes.

Hey Sean, I was wondering what you did to quiet your Jeep down on the inside. Was it only the frame stiffeners?

 

[srmitchell]

Frame stiffeners, extra weather stripping on the rear hatch, extra undercoat underneath.

I also totally took my dash apart, and replaced all the felt with new thicker black felt. It sits between all the plastic contact points, and really quieted it down.

The frame stiffeners made a huge difference.

We got a sunny day up here on Wednesday, so I decided to go ahead and spray some more of that duplicolor under coat. Works pretty good. I don't know if it makes a huge difference in sound, but it stops rust well.

Dude, nice job folding the front wheel-well seam.
I don't much liked the cut and fold method.
Going it this way would at least avoid rust.:star:

 

[srmitchell]

Haha that was actually done by Tim. (Knucklehead61)

I'm not a fan of that either, this way is way better.

I ordered the set of upgrade injectors 2 days ago, so I'll get them soon.
Upnext-
-Adjust the rear pinion lower, it still looks too high.

And later...
-Correct my speedometer gear
-Get a 63mm throttle body
-Maybe convert to electric fans.

 

[rocknxj]

I'd like to do the electric fan upgrade. I'll follow your plans once you post them

 

[TheManch]

sean,

do you have a bored out throttle body now? or a stock one. The 63MM is pretty bling but if you want to save some $$ is a pretty easy DIY to take the taper of the stock one and have a 60 MM straight through.

[srmitchell]

Its stock.

Theres a guy on ebay who bores, and ports them, for about 110.

 

[TheManch]

after i did all the head work on my 2000 (swaped 7120 head) along with the header, cat and muffler i noticed a little bit by taking the stock taper out my TB, whether there was any actual gain i dont know. The way i see it, the throttle body isn't the biggest restrictor in the system. With the 63 MM TB would the intake manifold need to be opened up to that dimension as well? Do you have any other stuff done the intake side of the motor?

I have the snorkel, which is awesome. The flow is amazing, so its up to par with the flow req.

 

[jimbosz07]

Did you ever fix your vibration? If not I think I would definitely look into your transfer case. Mine just took a dump on me and I'm noticing that as it worsens, so do my vibes. Just thought I would throw it out there
