Nice pics! Those look calendar worthy for sure!!!

 

Carnage pics!

 

no real carnage picture but heres one of the rock that killed the right quarter


and here are some from broken arrow in Sedona, AZ. not build pictures but wheeling pictures, build pictures will come soon enough

2" lift flex and 16 dollar shocks

jeep that almost flipped lol

a buddy's truck. lock f/r 4.88's


this one shows what i've been working on. the steering set up on my buddy's bronco 2, works good so far

 

Wow! Great pics Phil! Was this all from Broken Arrow? Im a little weary of taking my '82 out there cuz its a long bed and I know you need a short wheelbase for some of that technical stuff.

I may contact you about those 16 dollar shocks! What a steal! I could use something stiffer in the back, I sag a bit when I put sandbags in the bed for these Flagstaff winters!

 

nice build and nice runner. keep up the good work

 

you'd be fine with a long bed. a kid brought his 4 door rubicon and he was just fine.

Yeah they were all from broken arrow. idk if the shocks will help with the sag, thats a spring issue.

 

repainted my old stripes last night, looks much better in my opinion.

 

that looks sick man! nice job

 

thanks man i was surprised at how much prep work it took foe just those stripes. it looks pretty fricken sweet in person but in the picture it looks like i did it in paint haha

 

looks great! You do pretty awesome work man!

I wonder where I can get ahold of some springs then....basically, if I put any weight in the bed at all it dips way down...even parked. Maybe I just need new shocks and springs? It does have a small lift on it. Put it on the craigslist up here but dont want to sell it anymore haha

 

do you have the overload spring in yours still? the springs could just be worn out

 

so i've always had a hunch that my truck wasn't performing up to par. well one way or another i found out that my number one cylinder wasn't firing. turned out after checking for spark at the distributor wires and the actual plug that it wasn't getting fuel. after tearing everything apart the plug actually had one wire that backed itself out so the fuel injector wouldn't fire. I am amazed at how the thing runs now. but I am even more amazed at how well it runs on 3 cylinders!

as retarded as I feel right now I would just let you guys know I'm still messing with this thing and improving it haha

 

wow I wonder if I have the same power issues, I can't even get her to get up to 70 MPH. As far as the overload spring, I haven't got a clue. All I know is that American Spring wants over 500 bucks without tax and labor just to stiffen the bed so its level again. I wasn't about to fork over that kind of dough, so what other options do you think I have that are feasible for a broke college kid?

Thanks man

 

With the springs I would say find a cheap overload spring set or a drop shackle. As far as the power thig goes maybe electric fans?

 

Anybody know what size nut goes on the studs on the bottom of the exhaust manifold? Figured its easier to ask before I crawl under it and use random nuts. Thanks in advance
