[FlexdXJ]

[FlexdXJ]

Need to throw the front skid on mine.

 

[shortxjdoug]

ran for an hour... doesnt run anymore, hoping new fuel rail and lighter injectors fixes it

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

if i bring the JK... all i got to do is put camping stuff in it and gas maybe doing some VERY mild trail riding. nothing major, wife cant know about it either its my DD and NOT for wheeling (as my wife now calls it jeeping)

You will be fine in the JK and we'll be sure to help you if you need spotters. Most of the easy rides are just scenic trailriding.

 

[MELKORsXJ]

My list of stuff to do got shorter... found out boggers wont fit, so no point in bumpstopping it now. guess i'm gonna wheel the mallcrawler 17s lol

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

wont fit? i saw you with them on right??

 

[MELKORsXJ]

ok... they fit, i can drive down the road with them... FLAT ROAD!!!
...the boggers are for the trail, where the jeep will be doin' some flexing; and well, if i run the boggers, i can't turn, or flex without them being wedged into the inner fender (on the front)
just gonna have to wait on some long arms to use them

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

sweet!

 

[MELKORsXJ]

Radiator decided to start dripping today... :dunno:

...got a 3 core one ordered, to install tomorrow after work...

 

[BRIANHO13]

I just cut 12"s off the rear of my heep, and all the cage from the b pillar back.......

Have not touched this since I posted it........guess I need to get to work.

[FlexdXJ]

Got my Scangauge II installed today. Took all of a minute to do! Just need to install that front skid and get the radiator flush out of the way and I'm good to go once I pack up my stuff! I also made some screens up for my rear windows in case I end up needing to sleep in the Jeep!

 

[High2by]

I got the engine oil changed and a new pinion seal plus new gear oil in the front diff.

It's good to roll now so that may be all I do.

Can't wait to get there!

 

[shortxjdoug]

still doesnt run... not looking good for me... no more fuel rails at pulla part to try tomorrow will either be sweet victory or bitter defeat

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I have a fuel rail from a 97+... Would that be of any help?

 

[shortxjdoug]

well i blew the celebration too soon... no wag at the crawl bringin little jeep
