Did some minor things today...

Repaired the 2 broken roof rack buttons today. Did a write up on how here

Fitted the gas cap tether on to my locking gas cap




Sorry for the slow progress I'm shopping around for electrical upgrades. I will be doing an inverter install, duel batteries and upgrade the alt.

For the past 4 months I have been working on the Camaro... nothing has been done to the Jeep. I have been contemplating doing some more before winter...

The budget lift has made a huge difference on the trail, Excited to see how much it will make in the snow. I am getting some drive train noise though. I'm not worried about it, the slip yoke still has quite a bit of travel so I don't think it's that. I will have to check the pinion angles to see if I need to lower the T case.

I just pulled front coils off a V8 ZJ the other day and they arent progressively wound like those?

edit: I just read that you got them at an auto parts store. I'll assume thats why. I was worried for a bit lol.

Rig looks good BTW

Just had a look at your Camaro. I'm a huge F-Body fan, but never really liked 4th gens... They are definitely growing on me, though. I had a '78 Trans Am and an '84 Firebird, both really fun cars. Good luck with both projects!

88MJ.uggernaut: Thanks

Biceps McRipped: I love the 4th gen designs. Namely the LT1 camaro and the LS1 trans am. I had an 89 camaro but sold it in 2006 to get the 94 I have now.

Erok: if you got the "upcountry" springs then that would be why they aren't progressively wound.

XxXJ99xX: Yeah it has a trans cooler but the stock one is kind of small. A swap shouldn't be difficult.

I am not sure if it was an upcountry or not. It looked like a regular V8 model as far as I could tell. Engine was removed but the hatch had the V8 emblem.
