Aftermarket, itd been sitting on my shelf for about 5 years lol im kinda excited to get the jeep going but hunting is my new hobby. Not bad for a first buck. 28" x19.5" high, dads is 30" x 19"

 

[Demonoid369]

Not bad at all. Mine ws a two prong white tail over in the la grande area

Ive never seen big deer here in wa, but ive worked alot in montana and had alot of play time there, so thats where we went. Mine was a mature revert, 89 lbs deboned. This only 2" wider but this guy dwarfs mine lol bigger and better next year are the plan. Heading to idaho then montana.

 

[Demonoid369]

What caliper you shoot? Mines a trusty 30-06, sometimes I use my moms bf 7mm magnum, damn thing has kick!

 

[cody4359]

Ive got a tikka 7mm rem. mag. Its a light setup and kicked pretty good when i got it, but since last march when i picked it up, ive shot about 400 rds thru it trying to get it to group with factory ammo. I started off a lead sled, but im more accurate off a sand bag now and have leared to keep it tight against my shoulder lol.

Truck looks real purty.

Ac condensor helped a littlec keeps me around 170-180 now. Checked the t-stat, and it was stuck wide open. Good call guys!

 

[Demonoid369]

Ya it's a little more money but a dealership stat seems to be the best, I did it when my water pump took a crap, been good to me since

 

[cody4359]

Crummy design. You can see the little tab that caught, like it over compressed.

 

[Demonoid369]

The little tab is actually suppose to do that in case of an over heated engine, it's meant to try and give the best chance for the engine to cool from the coolant. Since if it closed shut, you would be having non moving coolant just get hotter and hotter inside your engine.

 

[cody4359]

That makes sense, learn somethin new everyday.

 

[cody4359]

The exhaust has been cut off behind the flomaster 50 pretty much since i got it and it finally bugged me enough to get it fixed. Much quieter now, almost to quiet in the cab cause my tires have gotten borderline noisey. Tossing around the idead of 35" dick cepeck fun countrys now

 

[cody4359]

Don't really take the jeep out much anymore, 2 times in December for the year but it's alive and kicking still

I follow your F-150 build on the F-150 forums. Nice jeep!

 

[cody4359]

Thanks, I have a new user name on there and haven't updated any pics. Doing a headlight retrofit soon and my 3/4" wheels spacers show up tomorrow. Other than that I just want roadmaster active suspension and a canopy for now

 

[XJCasper]

There are a quite a few forums for Ford trucks. Which one are you guys talking about?

I need a good resource for 80's F-150s

Thank you

Nice I'll be sure to check it out. I'm rebuilding my retrofit headlights also. Just waiting on parts to show up.
