Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Is it bad that I'm already tempted to mod my truck?
I'm going to try and fix the airbag compressor this weekend, that way I can buy an ARB for the rear. Only problem with this is...if I want to step up to H2 takeoffs then I'll prob want 3.91s - 4.10s...and right now I have 3.54s. The carrier break is at 3.73 for a D80.
Also going to get the 3 pod a-pillar gauge with isspros (FP, EGT, and boost) and then get some factory tow hooks for the front.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
one of my friends curses my name now, because he caught the mod bug due to me always talking about stuff I am planning on doing to my Jeep. He started looking at improvements for his VW TDI Jetta before he even got the title signed over.
You've got the mod bug...

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
That is the one reason why I am glad I hate my altima... I have no interest in modding it or spending a dime more than I have to (except maybe a nice stereo, but that's only if I decide i am going to keep it for a few more years which is kinda wicked unlikely).

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
That's the list I keep telling myself to stick to...
but GAWD it's so hard.
The ARB I definitely want. I've already been in situations where it would have proved useful. I forgot how much open/open sucks.
Especially with an extra 6k+ lbs on the back.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
the mod bug dies off when you have multiple builds trying to go on. red jeeps wore off when i started getting into the tons swap, although new suspension will be done over the summer and a hacked exhaust at some point. middle of spring the mod bug will hit on the nova and ill get the tranny/shifter in and drive the piss outta it. then the mod bug will change the stripping down black jeep for the stiffeners.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
yeah... right now I just want the damn thing to work and stay that way :twak:
If it aint one thing, it's another. Luckily I think my new front pump seal should be waiting for me at NAPA by now, my 4.10s for the new front axle should be either on a delivery truck or on my porch, and I have everything else I need. Time to head out and vote, then recover my hydro jack, tools, and snow shovel.
EDIT: I am looking at the list of things I have not replaced on my Jeep yet... it is getting very small...
the engine is on the list, but I have a spare for that now! So is the transmission. By the time I finish my axle swap, that'll be about it, other than random stuff on the inside.

You're doing something wrong if you're spinning tires towing uphill in a DUALLY.
I never lost traction going up the steep @$$ hills on the way to the gutter. And I'm sure Bill can attest to how steep those were.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Bill was in front of me driving home and i was following him. he called travis cause he could tell i was spinnin 'em. it was around a tight little turn and i was in 1st and it was just like "Yo heres tons of power!!!" and it tried to powerslide with a trailer. Way too much torque, it was awesome.

speaking of mod bug, ive got this sick idea of when green jeep is done to turn the 98 into a street fighter9" rear lp 30 frt, LS1 6 spd 242 1-2" drop with 16" Icon wheels it would be badass
in other news my SRW D60 hubs came today

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I was going to put an LQ4 into the XJ if I could find the engine cheap enough, but decided I would save the engine swap for a street rig, in which case I would use the LS1 for the weight saving. Then once I finished building 1 tons for my XJ I would re-gear the 9" I have now to something more "stock" and put it into the V8 XJ/MJ, whichever it ends up being. 242 for the full time, probably keep it stock height, and I wasn't planning on using the icons... I forget what wheels I was going to use, for some reason teh cherokee freedom wheels ring a bell... but looking at those now don't look like what I was thinking of. Ideally I would just be able to find some nice turbines and run those. maybe aftermarket turbines.
If I can find a clean/straight body MJ soon I think I may start collecting the parts to do the swap over the summer. Then use that for my DD and sell the altima.
That's almost the exact build I am planning for the MJ I am looking to pick up (or XJ if I can't find an MJ worthy of that project).
