That courier is so rad, love his truck.

Rig work better with the adjustments?

Thanks fella. I enjoyed your mj build. Are you gonna chop amd regraft a new roof or part it?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Tires at 8.5 hooked up really good with all the bump stop work.
Mikes courrier works so good. It wheels everything . Its awesome. I wish my rig sat that low

I started to. Decided being out here and still wanting to get home I needed something more practical, and with ac. So I got a XJ relatively cheap with a cracked piston and swapped the motors.
Stripped it now selling off the parts

I did cut a trans line. Watch your trans line routing. We fixed it at wh3.

 

[831_xj]

how did the trans line get cut or pinched?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Couple ideas. Drag link hitting it or the zip tie cut it . Or both

 

[blondejoncherokee]

these look kind of neat:

yeah those radial treps look awesome. I highly considering them as my next tire. and probably in a 37.

 

[Luke95]

If I didn't have a 50 even with sixty shafts I would be running them in a 40

Blondejon finally got a tow rig. I had to rush home from work to get a pic of it while the sun was still out.

Aerial spy photo...

Had to use 4x4 to get it up my driveways. Everything works great.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Thanks dude ! Thing looks better than i remember !

 

[blondejoncherokee]

22 qts of merc V on order along with window regulator , rear window lock, tailgate lock and more odds and ends .

 

[GordoSmasho]

Hell Yeah!!!!

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Stroker is in. Took it on its 4th test drive. Blew the front pump seal on the trans. Pissing fluid everywhere and smoking off exhaust. Had it towed home. Ugh i cant win. Going to swap the torque converter , pump bronze bushing , pump seal and pray it fixes it

 

[blondejoncherokee]

tuning is getting done and trans is back in with new torque converter and 4 tune files through it so far.

Just bought a house and the F250 got a ton of love. also sold the MJ. Kind of sad to sell the MJ, but oh well I dont need4 rigs right now

 

[GordoSmasho]

There is alot of win in that post jon. Congrats.
