ooh ok, were any of those trails up by stag hill by any chance? I'm down by rutgers (east brunswick) but my gf and a lot of friends live in clifton, wood ridge, etc. area so im up there often. We went with my buddy's truck up to stag hill a few days ago and checked out the trails across from it and that may be why it looks so familiar to me

henry9419

maybe...lol what truck you got?

well got a box from amazon:

timken hubs:


grease gun and bracket



new stronger fire extinguisher bracket

head light harness and bulbs:




ill do a short and sweet writeup on the harness,

-remove headlight bezels and grill, about 8-10 screws combined
-passenger side i needed to remove the headlight bracket and adjustment mechanism to fish the wires through
-start by battery and fish the wires for the drivers side through the opening behind passenger headlight and behund grill to the drivers side
-i used a radiator support bulb on either side for the ground wires
-bolt the relays so they dont bounce around
-connect two red wires to the 12v on the battery, later im gonna run them with a fuse
-plug harnesses into lights, old passenger side harness plugs into the new harness, drivers side just tuck away

ill post pics after school and some beamshots

Great build man. I'm in the same boat also, I want a Evo X also.

henry9419

thanks! ive wanted one since they came out lol, by the time ill be able to afford one doubt ill find one with low miles or be able to get one new anymore....

i tested the lights out in the woods, soo much better, aimed them right and its amazing i just wanna go out and drive around all night now lol, i gotta try and get some beamshots soon but i only have a phone camera and it takes terrible pics in low lighting...saturday or sunday im gonna install the hubs, i think my next purchases will include new rear bumpstops and a rear locker!

We were up there in my friend's 1500 sierra on 3500s, dark blue.

I have a 98 cherokee gunmetal pearl (light blue color) with tints about a 4" lift and 31s on d windows. And I'm usually in that area driving a silver 2000 trans am.

henry9419

that wasnt july 5th was it? i remember seeing a darkblue pickup that day, then again i think you wouldve remembered seeing me lol so never mind hahaha i stand out a bit with the doorless part, love the looks i get lmao, this morning i picked up a craftsman drill at sears, after school gonna mount the new fire extinguisher bracket and the grease gun, thinking about ordering a hilift on amazon as well as a maglight with a 12v charger for it and a few quickfist clamps, got it all sitting in my cart just not sure yet lol, as much as i wanna i should wait til i get paid so i can get my amazon balance down a bit not that its really high now but still, the responsible thing to do..................ill get more pics up tonight of whatever i do

henry9419

well yesterday my starter died, ended up getting towed home by my buddys wj, tmrw gonna get it to dads house, were gonna install my hubs and probably a new starter as well

henry9419

turns out it was only a relay lmao, good thing i didnt order a starter....got one hub on didnt have time to do the other :/ should be doing that in the am

henry9419

went to grease the upper ball joints this am and grease just squirted out the sides of the rubber boot thing on both, think its time for new ball joints as well as u joints :/ that will make for a fun weekend for sure

henry9419

Daystar extended rear bumpstops came in friday, and fronts should be here soon, Friday afternoon went wheeling tried a line I shouldn't have, then while backing up to get out a rock flew up and cracked my gas tank, not a bad leak a drip every few seconds, that night bought a tank used from a friend for $50, another friend said he could patch my current tank so I'm gonna do that for now and mount the new tank in the back and box it in, then I'm gonna remove the old tank

henry9419

Extended rear bumpstops, fronts got here right after left for school those should be easier to do then rears so I'll prob get them in tonight, rears I snapped one bolt on the one side, so for rest I'm gonna drill small holes in the unibody rails so I can soak the bolts with pb blaster

henry9419

Found the hole in the tank, poked a wider hole and drained out most of the rest of the gas, now gotta drop the tank :/ those bolts don't seem to wanna loosen might get a piece of threaded rod and bend it and just make new hangers myself but I'll see how the weather is after school

henry9419

Well I cut the hangers for the tank and went to the hardware store and got a piece of threaded rod, 3/8-16 and 2 foot long, cut it in half now going to dads to bend a hook in each end then to put the new tank in, gotta get the remaining water out of it first

henry9419

well friday morning i picked up a few rubicon express parts, 3.5 coils, adjustable upper control arms and superflex lower control arms, just need to get a trackbar and shocks to get the lift installed, i was looking at the calendar and i should be able to get it done on the 31st in time to wheel on the first for a friends birthday, and at dads friends house for labor day. i also would like to go to krawl 4 kids in hancock, NY, the first weekend of october, they require front and rear towpoints, so rear tow points just jumped up on my to do list. so once the lift is in im gonna get a reciever hitch, then depending on vibes i will go with either a tom woods sye/driveshaft, or aussie lunchbox lockers front and rear. before i hear about lunchbox lockers, i dont plan on running them for too long, just til i get my new axles and get them built up, but im not gonna ruin the surprise on what my axle plans are ill get some pics up a little later
