Thanks! Yeah... I guess I am kinda doing things somewhat differently to what everyone else is doing.. Lol. What can I say, I like to be different!!

I just made "snowville" up since we usually get tons of snow. And I LOVE snow! Lol.

Haha. Yeah. Next time I'm planning a trip to Rausch Creek, I'll definitely throw a PM your way. You'd be surprised where a stocker can go. Just make sure you have strong tow points front and rear so I can get a winch or strap on you if needed. Walnutport is about 80 miles away from me when I'm at my parent's house and I pretty much have to drive past you on the way to Rausch Creek, so I'm sure we could find a place near you to met up for a Rausch trip.

 

Snapped a bolt holding my seat down... My dad ended up drilling a hole into it and hosed it down with PB Blaster to get it to break loose. What a pain. Lol. Managed to save the threads though.











MOAR Hurricane Sandy pics.


Generator powering the traffic lights. And a red Wrangler.


Another generator powering traffic lights.










The guy in the white Lincoln MKZ pulled up next to me and asked how far until the road was blocked. I said about a mile because of the pic where there were two trees over the road and power lines (4 pics up^^). Blocked for him, not for me if I wanted to go further (which I didn't because I had no reason to). Lol. :P




This house looks ready for anything. EVEN THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!!!!!!


Gotta love military surplus vehicles.


One moar.


The Delaware river is surprisingly low..




Yet another generator powering the traffic lights. These things were literally EVERYWHERE. Lol.


These people must have paid a pretty penny to have this tree service out today. Lol.

 

what year honda were those seats out of?

 

2006-2011 Civic Si 2 door.

 

where'd you find that brush guard?

 

It came with the Jeep.. I have no clue who it's made by, but I have seen a couple other members on this forum with them... It has absolutely ZERO manufacturer markings on it whatsoever. So... Your guess is as good as mine. Lol.


*edit*
I just did a quick google search and this one looks to be the exact same brush guard. Looks like it's made by a company called N-Dure.

The steel for my seat adapters came in today. 3/8" steel plate. BEEF!!!!

This is what 65lbs of steel looks like... 32.5lbs per adapter. Working with it might be...interesting.

 

Maybe 1/4" steel would be fine or 3/8" aluminum plate, but I would hate to go all thru that fab work and then bend the adapter plate when off-roading and hit a huge bump.

Built Jeep tough !!

 

That won't happen. The jeep will bend around it

 

Hahaha!! I like overkill That's honestly the last part I want to have to worry about breaking.

 

Just ordered these. Should make off roading a little more comfortable than the OEM belts. Lol.

A few more post-hurricane pics that I took today..



A red Jeep and a red Ferrari in the same pic?

 

Nice cherokee thinking of putting the sprintex supercharger on my own cherokee. How did you like it and was it woth the money? And was the install easy?

 

Thanks!

I love it!! It goes into and out of closed and open loop SO easily and the transition into and out of boost is incredibly smooth (because of how I routed boost to the map and clamped the map) and it pulls like a freight train under boost.

Unfortunately, I never bought the system with the intent of using it exactly how it came out of the box. I didn't buy it for the monetary value, really just for the enjoyment value a.k.a giggles per mile. As I usually do, I put my own twist on it with FULL bolt-ons (ignition tune up (cap, rotor, wires, sparkplugs), new o2 sensors, new fuel pump, new 703 injectors, Gibson ceramic coated headers, new OEM crossover pipe and cat, Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, gold heat barrier on intake manifold, YellaTerra 1.7 ratio roller rockers, 505 Performance billet 70mm throttle body, meth injection kit and progressive meth controller, custom cowl induction intake, AW4 shift kit, and a lot of time and effort). So about 2-3k on top of the cost of the supercharger hardware and custom piggyback. Probably about 6k all said and done... Was it worth the money? Probably not. But it was definitely worth it for the enjoyment value. I enjoy the hell out of it EVERY day (since the Jeep is my daily). I've put somewhere between 3-4k miles on this system and there hasn't been one day that I've ever regretted doing it. And those miles have been HARD miles. I flog on it EVERY single day! On these cold days (40-45 degrees) I'm hitting 7psi (8psi at the top of 2nd gear) with the stock pulley that the Sprintex ships with and it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys! I can only imagine what it will be like after I put the smaller pulley I have on it...

The install was incredibly easy. There was only one bolt between the headers and block that was a pain to get to. Other than that one bolt, it was surprisingly easy. Lol. My dad and I knocked the install out in 2 days with most of the time spent running around for parts and trying to escape the summer heat. We probably had less than 8-10 hours of actual wrench time into the install.


My 4.0 is about as modded as it can possibly be without doing a full ground-up build on it (which I am planing on doing in the future (4-5 years from now)). I plan on keeping this Cherokee for a long LONG time.

 

SuperCharger-
Not sure if they are still available from Boostec(where I got mine) or Sprintex directly. They have the kits but no tuning is included. You are on your own for that. There are different ways to do the tuning/timing retard and fuel enrichment. We- BPas328xi and I, feel our way is the best. I can get and make available a complete kit with tuning and support for $4,000 + shipping. Yeah it is expensive but once you drive an XJ with one on, it is such a different beast. 6 pounds of boost from 1500rpm. Flat torque curve. Smooth transition in and out of boost. We also have a another '98 XJ which has CAI, bigger TB, cat back exhaust, 33"MTR's and 4.56 gears. The Sprintex Supercharged XJ of ours will walk all over it. Huge difference!
