just a little bit of footage of the last outing at creekside edge, enjoy......

 

greatest build ever!!!!!!! Plan on mine looking like that by this time next year.

 

thanks man! i'll be posting more up on here soon again, a lot of things I thought would be good turned out not so well (ie: wrapping those headers was the worst idea ever....blew a hole right through them! HD Mechanical fan + 3-row rad + worn out engine mounts = hole in rad....) amongst all the frantic fixing though, I was able to make it to the Texas Spur and caught some gnarly air!

 

found a pic off someone from the video above, not the highest point of my 3-wheelin tho, the video shows a second bump up which definitley made a pucker

 

Been a long time since I've been on here, almost 3 years! Been busy with house projects and also my new build (2011 JK unlimited). You can never have enough Jeeps!


Needless to say, I've gotten a bit done on my Frankenstein XJ. Was able to weld on a tire carrier for the rear, replace the gasket on my tranny (as it was leaking), and also installed an all electric cooling system so I could get rid of the power robbing mechanical fan. Will have posts up and coming regarding both of the upgrades, for now, here's a pic of my double trouble toys.


I'll fix the links to the videos up above (as I had to redo them due to music copyright laws)!

 

So I had purchased a Tomken rear bumper tire carrier as it was at a bargain price, but I don't have a Tomken rear bumper, and it was bolt on....time for some welding


Took a few measurements, tacked her up and checked for levelness / function, then welded it out, turned out perfect!
(minus my crappy welds... lol)

 

Next on the to-do list was the leaky tranny, since I hadn't driven her around any for a while, I was starting to notice a small puddle of tranny fluid, so I figured it was time to give her belly a little scratchin


Everything cleaned up pretty nicely and for 155kmi on her, the tranny is looking good. Used a rubber gasket, not a cork one (as the parts store said they would have to order it, but had rubbers on hand). kit came with a new filter so that was changed too
