I think we outta make a small YotaTech club or something with our local SoCal guys

 

Yeah, if you guys are interested I have been told of a trail up in Malibu. Maybe we can plan a weekend run in Jan.

Hey Chef do you use bj spacers?

 

I'm pretty sure he's running 1.5" BJ spacers with a zuk mod in the rear.

 

Yep he is

 

My ears were burning! lol.

Yep.......

I have all 4 new Ball Joints(Lowers OEM & Uppers Sankei 555 Downey Mega Travel Ball Joints w/Zerk Fitting) // All new OEM Control Arm Bushings // 4Crawler 1.5" BJ Spacers // 4Crawler Diff Drop // Sway Bar Removed for now // 12"x125# Zuk Mod from Black Magic Springs by Southwest Speed // ............... Working on grabbing gear for a 56" Dakota 1800# Leaf Pack Swap in the rear.... And I'll be working on a lil low-pro uptravel bumpstops set up to increase stuff, then hammering the pinch welds and fiddling with the fender skirt a bit to stop all of the rubbing of the 32's. I can get them pretty up there with these Downey Ball Joints at the right angles, etc., .... BUT, even with decent backspacing and the lift... I still get some rubbing and they want to rip off my mud flaps, lol. OH YES, that's right.... need to get my mudflaps back on up front. I like the look.

 

Yo chef we need to meet up and talk cause I need some advice.

 

PM me brudda... you're welcome to drop by any time I'm available

You can look over my rig and maybe take a ride, etc... see what you think... Plenty of spots up the hill to flex out on, etc... So you can get an idea of things, how tight they are, etc., suspension wise.... How well it crawls up stuff with the locker. Just let me know what you think is a good time, and I'll let you know if it's likewise.

 

Well good news, everything on my car seems to be breaking. I installed some crappy front speakers and started prepping the back for some new headliner.





Then on the freeway the other day my driver side b pillar flew off.


My right headlight is shorting or something cause its super dim and the bulb is still good, the rear passenger side light is also dimmer than the drivers side and the lens cracked last night. My ignition is also going out so theres another plus. I got a set of bj spacers so I dont wreck my cv's.


If anyone has any input on the headlight issue please fill me in, I think it might be a ground problem but I suck at electrical stuff. Plus I dont even know where the headlight ground is.

 

are those BJ spacers cast ?

 

Looks like they're cast to me!

 

As soon as I looked up a video of how to install them the first thing the guy says is don't buy cast ones. Haha whatever

 

Wow, when it rains..... eh? Sorry bout the 'snowballing' of things breaking!

Hope you get the liner in nice.... Always wondered how difficult that would be. BEST to ya!

 

LOL! J/K. Sorry about that.

There are separate path and separate fuses for left and right headlights, so I would suspect something wrong with that, including poor connection from corroded connectors. First thing I suggest is you check circuit from headlight relay (in fuse box), fuses, to connector.



Headlight ground is in engine compartment on passenger side fender, near fuse box. In my case, I moved it directly to ground wire from battery- no freakin' point in adding sheet metal resistance when wire can reach ground wire.
Bonus: Now I have available place and screw for mounting my headlight harness upgrade relays (Coming soon)



Best of luck

 

Thanks RAD, I checked those grounds and it didn't fix it. I looked all over and could find any other grounds so I'm stumped.

 

nice runner !! keep it coming

 

you will be fine with those cast BJ spacers, just dont beat on them hard and be checking on them once in a while also make sure you paint them with krylon or some kind of acrylic paint to protect them from water and they should last

 

Hey Bud, ..... Do you need an outer B-pillar? I was gonna put one I grabbed up on my classified ad.. BUT, if you need it, lemme know, k?(PM me, k? )

It's in perfect shape, in fact, EVERY 'slot' is free from breakage, lol. Some of the clip washers are still there, too.
