Great for A/Ts I should have air down a bit more..was still way up at 20psi. They haven't left outta luck yet. Clean out is okay...could for sure be better, still grip on rocks/cement fresh out of mud. Don't have any complaints really since I got 6 of them for 100$ 35/12.5s

 

Dang. I run mine down at 10-12

 

Yea I was lazy they had 35# in them. Forgot my valve stem tool, and holding them down with a screw driver got old quick knowing I had 3 more to do at the same time. Haha

 

I don't blame you lol

 

 

I've been thinking about comp cutting the rear. I don't have any wheeling trips lined up for the rest of the year, funds are being put together for cage, and 60/14 combo. Plan on running 38-40s.

I want to just start chopping. Simply because I need to get ***** deep in a project before it really hits me what I'm doing and that I need to get the **** together. But at the same time...I think I should have at least one tire around to size it all up....not sure If I want to just straight up comp cut, or just "extend" the wheel well...

Thoughts for today.

 

Comp cutting the rear looks weird to me on certain builds. Chop, dovetail, and comp cut and RE skin it with XJ stuff

 

I've been exploring the dove tail... Seen a couple that kept the roof, and for some reason I really like that.

Idk I have two more weekends in the woods...then I'm just going to have to take a weekend and sit and stare at it. I'm sure something will get cut.

 

I might have just ordered a tool... That I really don't have the room to use right now... Hopefully my bonus check this month is decent. I need moarrr parts so I can use it! Lol.

 

Sneek peek on the winter months to come.

 

New jeep shop!?



Jk. Helped out down at the raceshop, working out a deal with the owner on storage/work space for the winter. He has another 24x50 building I might be getting into.

 

I'm going to start the post, with I'm a jackass. I was having fuel delivery issues...well that's 100% my fault, no faulty fuel pumps...

For some odd reason I was under the impression I had a fuel pressure regulator at the rail... No, I have a 97...

So I was trying to run with no regulator - doesn't work folks. (Sure you all know)

So I slapped in a fuel filter from a 2003 grand Cherokee 4.0...has a built in regulator 27.99$ at vatozone. Plummed a return line to the fuel cell. And bam...issues fixed. Fuel pump doesn't cut off anymore.


Cell with return line.



Underside of rear end.



Close up of prefilter, pump, and regulator/filter.



I self tapped the big hose clamps into the rail, and x-member then just tightened them down around the components. Works great!

 

Ive gone through every picture on google. And have figure out exactly what I dont want to do. Have a pretty good idea on what I want to do. things happening. Unfortunately not axles yet...hopefully she will be wheeling worthy in april. Also post worthy.

 

Finally picked up a new metal burner. 140hd, welder, cart, tank-full, 2 spools of wire, and this thing is "used" but is brand new. Not even 1/4 spool ran through it. App wont let me upload pics :/

Edit: wtf I guess it did...

 

Whipped up some new leaf spring hangers plan is to fully weld. the inside of the frame rail will pop up through the floor and be butt welded to a plate that ties it back to the out side. Fully capturing the rail in that area. Doubling as a cage tie in. Also did some floor/shackel box plating.
