I like that hood mod but cringe at doing it here in Washington with all those wires and electronics right in the path of that rain runoff haha.

 

Literally all you do is unbolt the factory bolts and put the spacer some washers and new bolts in. Nothing else needs to be done!

 

Actually i have holes in the fire wall drilled right there in the driverside by the brake booster and i have never had issue with water run off and components. It doesnt get near anything wet on the inside of the engine bay.

 

As for that hood mod, I'd think you'd have to be whacked pretty hard in the front for that thing to do carnage to the cab...

But for that alt upgrade, I'd switch the pulleys. That extra groove in the dodge pulley will do no more than frey that side of the belt.

Sweet rig tho! +1 for the paint! Like the cupholder mod

 

Really........ hmmmm might have to give it a try then sometime.

Besides the fact that it's useful, I just like the way the hood looks propped up like that.

 

how easy is it 2 swap the pulleys? one bolt?

 

TODAY I WHEELED IT!!!! it had been a while, my camera died(my phone since it had 3 megs) so no pictures but a lady friend and me went wheeling up near bucher jones then hit the highway and did sunflower mine!

good day!

performed great! no complaints! ...other than i developed a high idle and check engine light.


and when i say hi idle i mean 3000 rpms any time the clutch is depressed or in neutral ....

 

Damn that's high.

 

oh yeah, on the trail it was fine, it was coming off the trail that it started. so some time on the freeway..... cause i went to shift and it popped up to 3000 and then driving thru town was interesting... wrecked a a guys bumper by accident... put a nice hole thru his 2009 chevy crome bumper.... But he was really cool about it, he said he has a new one ordered in the mail for towing so he let it go....


i believe it is the TPS because that is the code it thru before..... i will have it scanned again

 

so mainly a rocky, rocky, rocky trail, but there was a little dust and some muddy ruts. again i really wish i could have gotten some pictures....

 

nothing new other than my tps is not being faulty at the moment... so i have been driving it around cause the other 3 cars are out of gas and i dont wanna fill them up yet....


but running around my house today i slipped and fell and stuck my heal thru the wall...

gotta fix that now...

 

found a cool picture from this year! towing out my gf's car... got a phone call at work. So i took the day off grabbed everyones bikes, went camping and had a training day the next day!

i had to tow them out a few times that trip...

 

and found some race pictures from the past 12 months

just thought i would share because i am THAT bored at the moment

 

 

I am not sure if there is excessive wheel noise or the beginning of a bad wheel bearing.

Btw i have rotated my tires and the noise has not changed.

It is coming from the same front passenger side as before.

it is the pulsing sound. it will pulse, and when i turn it speeds up.

I tried to get the best audio that i could.

let me know what you think please
