Hey a question about those air vents, what happens if it rains? wont all the rain go straight onto the motor?

 

They are Pontiac GTX vents. Most vents let water fall straight through. When I got these, another reason I got them is because they came with drip pans. No matter what, if you are driving and its raining, water is getting up under the hood. The drip plans will help.

 

You'd pretty much have to submerge a motor in water to stop it from running, they'll usually keep going until water gets sucked up the intake and they hydrolock. Most electronics under the hood are marginally water resistant.

 

Looking good man, im ready to see these new pics.

 

tires are looking good man keep up the progress

 

working on it. I was hoping to have the rear axle (D44 anyway) under the thing, tightened down and with tires on already but I had to wait for the new cross pin and thrust washers to come in so I can finish installing the Aussie. That stuff is supposed to come in tomorrow (Friday).

thanks rewster.

its raining today, so im going out to the garage to paint my new rear bumper. Picked up a C4x4 rear bumper from overlandxj. The thing looks beefy as hell. will get pictures when i install it.

 

Just got done painting my C4x4 rear bumper I got from OverlandXJ. Ill have to try and get that installed on Monday. Also got some spacers for the JCR steering in the mail today.

 

Jake, just realized i forgot to send you the frame tie-in brackets. I'll get them off to ya. Sorry pal...

Busy week.. and i'm not getting any younger.

 

haha no problem John. Thanks for sending them off. I just got done painting that bumper this weekend so once I see the package I'll hopefully get it on.

 

You can still mount the bumper... just dont hang weight off it in the form of a tire carrier etc till you install the tieins.

 

Jake, need your address again. I'll send them off tomorrow when i ship other items.

Been a tough week and havent been able to get there earlier.

 

Jake.. realized i had your addy at Paypal, so their enroute to your house.

Sorry for the delay.. just got my rig rolling again this afternoon.

 

cool jeep

 

Thanks John. Just saw these last two posts now. Ill keep my eye out.

 

Thanks!



well finally fought the humidity and the mosquitos and got my new rear bumper installed. It is a C4x4 rear bumper and it looks great. Getting the old bumper off was kind of a pain with the hitch in the way. Then installing the new one, I had to employ two garbage cans as saw horses because I couldn't hold the bumper in place while bolting it down haha. It there!

Picture for stock look:


New C4x4 bumper (thanks OverlandXJ!):



Sorry for the blurry pics. The humidity fogged the camera up when I brought it outside
