I promise I am working on it next weekend....lol

 

Ok....so I got a bunch of stuff done....undoing some PO crap...(gotta love PO's)

Thermostat...(stuck open...ran at about 140 degrees) Replaced with a SuperStat 195.
Found while I was doing that....the radiator is new....but it is obvious that some type of STOP LEAK had been used in the system....coolant looks like MUD! I will be doing a massive flush soon to remedy.

Full tune up...cap, rotor, plugs, wires...etc
Oil Change to get the Rotella running
Wired up my electric fan (Thanks Mark for doing the soldering)....when I got it...the AUX E-Fan was missing....just not there.....well...the circuit works...so new fan in.
Upstream O2 sensor

I scored some 702 injectors and a rebuild kit...so that will be next.

Thanks for looking.

 

From this:



To This:




4 more to go...but I think they look GREAT....3 hours to do 1!

 

God rid of the CEL....it took Up and Down stream O2's and a thermostat.

 

love the Avatar Jimmy - fits you perfect lol

 

Yeah...we all gotta be able to laugh at ourselves....

 

Got the gauges working again. Followed the writeups and got her done. Also "fixed" the rear hatch latch...with a coat hanger for now, but it works.

Replaced the drivers side door hinge pin...no more saggy....

Next up...coolant flush/fill and 702 injectors.

 

Ok...I have made decisions. These are the eventual plans as they stand today:

Boring my own TB to 60mm


Lift
Bastard except shocks for now

Front shocks : http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/p...ad-Racing-Unit

Rear Shocks: http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/p...ad-Racing-Unit

Will save up for OME 4” Trailblazer Lift

Tires are still a toss up.

 

Time to start saving....

 

don't go with a kit from RRO - one of the worst reputations for customer service around.

DPG Offroad offers hybrid OME kits as well, but they have great service and a better product IMO. We put the 3" one on Brian's XJ.

 

I just want the Springs...not a hybrid kit I guess. I do not need the shocks...etc..so I guess my Post was inaccurate. But I will take that into consideration. I have ordered Shackles and BPE's from RRO before and had no issue. I want their shackles and BPE's again.

Front: http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/fro...gs-p-8770.html


My thoughts are....with the 3.5" OME rear and 4" OME TJ Front....I can use a small spacer, shackle, etc to level it out around 4".


Whole spring kit all the way around =$420.....which is not bad for OME at all 4 corners.

 

Rebuilt and ready....

 

And.....blew the freezeplug on the back of the head....

 

Ok...so a lot has happened...not much to take pictures of...but I will update with visual aids soon.

First...fixed the freeze plug....that was a fiasco...did not want to pull the head, so I dropped the cross member and one motor mount and did it from underneath and in the rear.



Then I bored out my throttle body and installed a CAI using a RockIt tube for a TJ (had to cut it) and a cone filter....(eventually will go to cowl)
