Nice truck! It's always impressive what they can do pretty bone stock

Thanks! I'm all about careful driving...I've done some pretty crazy things with it. I'll post up what I notice with the new injectors.

Alright, got them put in with no problems. It idles a lot smoother and is more responsive, just like everyone says. The mpg however....inconclusive. I filled up, went 50 miles, and filled up again. It took .5 gallons to do that. So I get about 80 mpg........this is pretty simple math, so i'm guessing that i didn't go far enough...who knows.

Well, it has been a long time since I've updated this...but then again, not much has changed. HOWEVER, I've got some things coming this way in the next week and in the near future that will be very notable. Keep yourselves posted!

So I've been super busy and haven't done much to the Jeep, except for constantly monitoring the coolant. I've been losing coolant so I'm worried about a cracked head. However, I check my oil almost daily and the oil amount hasn't increased at all. I don't have any of the signs of a cracked head besides the coolant loss. The coolant definitely isn't leaking out to the ground; there hasn't been any puddles under my Jeep. I'm looking at replacing the head cover gasket later this week and taking a look at the head.


I never did an update on the Spectre CAI, but long story short, it's pretty amazing! My Jeep sounds amazing now (with stock exhaust) and the motor just sounds mean now.

I just got word that my Detours Tailbone may ship later this week, so I'll have to report back about that!

Nice build so far.



Nothing wrong with small upgrades at a time. Helps while waiting for the big ones ahaha

Damn! So many updates! I threw a winch on at the beginning of the year. I got the Warn VR8000, and it works really well. I also got my Detours Tailbone on last November. The fabrication skills from Detours is so impressive! Now I have a huge pile of parts laying in my garage. Got the Rubicon Express 3.5" Super ride kit. New leaves, new coils, Bilstein shocks, the whole nine yards. I got a SYE from EXT offroad and a front driveshaft out of a Cherokee to throw in. All this thrashing starts tomorrow after work. I will post pics! Stay tuned!

Here's a slight teaser.

The tailbone looks awesome. I wish Detour still sold them.

I think I was one of the last ones to get one. I really like it!

Lift and SYE installed, I headed for Silverton to run some trails in the beginning of August.

Picked up a 29 spline Chrysler 8.25 and i'm planning on doing a rear disc swap before I throw it in. I'm also picking up a set of 33x10.5r15 KM2's later tonight. Things are getting serious now!

Sounds great. Looking forward to it

Looks good...I like the tailbone just installed one last month.
