After this weekend I realized a couple things. 1- my idle issue is not my tps it's my IAC. 2- im sitting at 3.5" and not 4-4.5" 3- K-seal fixed my ebay aluminum 3 core radiator. Great stuff by the way. Im going to pick another bottle to keep in the hero for future problems.
A little more on my lift.
I thought I had a lift spring and spacer but its a stock spring 2" spacer and worn out stacked isolators. So plan is to get v8 zj coils keep the spacer and get new isolators. That should get me close to where I want.
As for the rear 2.5" aal and 1" block. Plan is still the same keep aal and remove the block and put in the adjustable chevy lowering shackles on the 2" hole. Then look for another set of leaf spring packs and build a bastard pack.
Hey love the pictures, are you still thinking of painting your rig? I like the paint job you currently have. Kind of like a signature! One of a kind and it looks good in photos. I just thought I'd mention that.
Thanks and yes im going to paint it it not one of a kind any more it has been copied a few times. Im a trend setter when it comes to paint lol I have had guys at work ask me if I was selling my jeep cause they seen one paintes like it on craigslist. My little car was the same way I two toned it red and black and then I hooked at you but you didn't wave back. Cause it wasn't me I was at work not my car. The new paint scheme I know will be one of a kind I have done my research to see if I can find another jeep like it and not yet. Also most painted blue are gloss blue not satin or flat paint.
Little update I haven't done much to anything this month so far I do need to replace my upper shock bushing the old ones got beat up wheeling and it sitting before that didnt help either. Ill will be replacing them this week or next week.
Over the weekend I picked up a 3" lift for my girls zj and got free wj coils. It was an v8 wj 99 im going to pick up some stock isolators for a wj as that's what is needed to make them work I have read in my research and see if I get any lift out of them or what. I figured im in there already when I replace my upper shock bushing.
Well now I need to figure out my bump stops as of last night the Limited Hero is sitting on 35's And no more d-windows. There are decent tread and have been grooved. The ad said 20-30% more like 40-50%.
They are a mixed set 2 toyo m/t i mounted in the rear since the are 13.5 wide and a wild country txr and a Kelly safari mts were mounted on the front. And toss the best of the old 33's in back for a spare right now.
The 33's will be going on my girls zj have we lift it 3.5" I guess low cog setups run in the family lol.
Ill get pics later since it was dark after I put them on.
Since the 35's there is a couple things for wheeling I need to address. One is getting my bumpstops figured out well kinda I know how im doing them just need to know how much. The rear I will be making a plate off the leaf plate and dropping the bumpstop to where I need them and in the front I will be using hockey pucks mounted on the coil pad. And two is steering box braces. I already have a box brace but feel the need to get a frame plate from c-rox or something like that and replace the factory box spacer with a steel one. Cause fixing that stuff after damage has happened is no fun and hell on the trail.
Now for the low cog numbers
drip rail in front 66 1/2"
Drip rail in rear 67"
Lowest under front axle 11"
Lowest under rear axle 11"
Belly height 17"
Highest point stock cross bars at 70 1/4"
this is with my 3-3.5" lift and 35's
