Robby's prerunner porn buildup

[sjstar]

Looks good Robby!

Thanks man cant wait to see your build start off

nice work man. keep it up

Hey man the jeep looks really good, I like your set up. I really like those mcqueen fenders and plan on ordering a set as well. I was wondering if you could measure something on them for me? I'm curious how wide they are from the edge by the hood to the outer edge of the flare. I jus want to be sure my tires will be covered. I'll be watchin the rest of your build up, good luck with it.

Yes i will take those measurements for you. Mike Mcqueen is a very nice guy and will talk to you forever he is a pleasure to do business with. I would highly recommend going to him directly and not going through someone else just because he is so nice and will possibly hook you up. Tell him Robby Powell from San Jose, Ca referred you to him he will like to hear that. I think he is making a couple sets of those fenders right now so if you decide this will be the time to hit him up. I will go those measurements when i get home tonight.:cheers:

o hey. Yep i had to shave the c clip down a bit more but i got her to slide right in, after that it was just the pain of getting all the spring in there holes. Had her all back together by nine. I drove it to Palo Alto and back and drove fine. Deff not as easy as i thought it was ganna be but got her done.:clap:

ok so the measurement from hood edge to outer edge of fender is 8 inchs

Do you have better pics of the fox bumps....I would like to look please

 

[sjstar]

Sure what areas would u like better pics of? The coil area?

 

[ruger81]

Yes and the bump itself. Mounting and such

here is another pic for ya. For my setup i decided not to have the bump stick down far into the coil and rather decided to have a taller striker pad. Although this way is difficult to get the coils not to bind on the striker pad and still have the bump hit fairly center of the pad, it all worked out rather well. The benefit of this is that you dont put as much leverage or stress on that coil bucket when you hit your bump. These coil buckets have tended to bend in and toward the front of the jeep when the bumps hit hard. This way will make it not as easy to do that.

also did another upgrade while i replaced my locker since one shaft was slightly bent.

mmmm sweet bumps

Is that a UHMW cylinder in the bottom striker?

Not sure what you mean by uhmw but its a piece of tubing that been capped off and stitched onto the axle. If i were to do it over again and i still might down the road alter this i would use a high density polyurethane cylinder that would thread onto the axle. Right now every once in a while i can hear the coil vibrate against the tube.

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyurethane. We're on the same page

I'm using 3.5" UHMW for my strike pads, and doing them in the same way you did yours, for the exact same reasons. Great minds think alike I suppose. I ordered a foot of it from McMaster Carr for a few bucks, can't remember exactly.

The advantage is I'll bolt it down, allowing me to remove it to make getting the spring in and out easier (without disconnecting steering etc.) The other advantage is noise control

Bet ya didnt know these jeeps run pritty decent on e85. Aside from taking longer to start and not Having alot of power at full throttle. Everyday driving is just fine, i dont see any less mpg and its around 40 cents cheaper, and much cleaner. I think i have around 4000 miles on it running it no probs. o would like to get a programmer and custom tunning to make it run at its full potential i think it needs to run richer an more timing.

the problem with running E85 isn't a power issue - it's the fact that the ethanol content will eat away rubber fuel seals and fuel lines. "Flex fuel" vehicles and others set up for E85 have poly seals and metal lines/poly fuel lines to deal with this. I think it was HorsepowerTV that did a special on it. I wouldn't continue doing this If i were you.

oh and technically it's E15 now, not E85

the last bit of that new label is the most interesting...

 

[sjstar]

They had e85 vehicles before 2001 so that right there isnt right. I have read quite a bit on this, cars these days dont have rubber fuel lines they are a mix of something else. Read on e85 forums lots of people are running it in all kinds of different cars with the only issues being when they run it rhe first couple times it cleans everything out and can plug up injectors but after that tunning is the really next major thing. To each his own have ran it for two years now never had a problem and will continue to run it.
