Today, for my rig, I ...

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I've noticed there's been quite a few people posting on the chat window some little bits they did to add to their trucks. So, I thought I'd make a thread so we can see some damn pictures! Post up the little things you did for your truck today and show us what you spent your paycheck on instead of something useful! Did you install a new set of gauges, wire in some lights, do some painting, welding, or cleaning? Take a picture and let us know!

Today I saw seafoam on the clearance counter at O'Reilly's so I thought I'd give it a shot and added a bottle to my fuel and oil system to clean it out. Also, I did some touchups on the air intake I added to my X5 the other day, and replaced the cabin filter. Check it out.

boring, I wired up Angela's Jeep with a set of spot lights on the windshield and replaces the factory lights with some delta lights and wired em in for daytime running lamps. Then added the last piece to the wifes bumper, cleaned the garage and drank some beers with Brian. I aint got no pics I was busy working! :beer

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

Pics of finished work?

[SGT. K]

my work is so awesome I don't need pics! Not like the custom air intake on the van! LOL

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

What, this thing? I had fun putting that together! It doesn't have to look good for me to like it. It was cool and generated a positive result.

[PondSkum]

Nice thread! I haven't done anything to my Jeep in the past week, but I have a big long list of stuff "to do" that grows faster than it shrinks!! LOL.. don't we all have that?

[TJRex06]

Well it wasnt today, but this past Sunday I installed a new winch! Thanks to Brian, Sarge, & Anthony @ 4wheel parts!! http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u461/TJRex06/My%20Jeep/Picture.jpg

[jam0o0]

no pictures. i guess i should go take some. got the mechanical pressure gauges - boost and oil pressure installed and plumbed in my 93 f250. i went with nameless black aluminum AN fittings and teflon stainless hose. i killed one fitting before i realized they skipped the step of cutting 1/8-1/16 of the steel braiding back before trying to thread the fitting together. should get the electric stuff (back lights, phyro, coolant temp) hooked up this week-weekend.

o yea used a superduty windshield quad gauge mount and made it work in the 80-97 truck.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

Yea man, get some pics of your retrofit. That's the stuff I like to see.

So, Rex, when are you gonna test out the new winch?

[TJRex06]

hopefully this weekend at BVORR!!

[SGT. K]

Looks good, today for my rig I did not run over a minivan!

[Blue Angel]

Once upon a time I went on a run up in Hot Springs. Somebody brought along a big ol' cowbell on a chain. If you pulled out your winch cable to pull yourself or accepted a tow strap to pull your rig.....you got to wear the cowbell on your front bumper. Clanging and clanging until the next rig had to use a recovery device.....it was all fun and pretty cool amongst friends. Plenty of talking and taunting on the CB between cowbell swaps.

That actually sounds pretty funny but I'd prolly be the one holding it the most. I'm pretty quick to accept help. I don't like breaking things. lol

no Agitator would have it most of the time like 99.999 percent of the time!:fitshan

[SGT. K]

put the new smittybilt stinger front bumper on tonight. so I got a used smitty bilt bumper for sale see classifieds for details. Got to mount the lights tommorow ran out of day light.

[Admntiumx]

You called me yesterday right?

[Admntiumx]

yep man you were asleep.

Yeah had a really long day yesterday because someone in my leadership had a freak out.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I did this a few days ago but I finally got some pics:

I removed my old ratty bucket seats and installed another ratty old bench seat which is way more to my liking. There's just something so right about an old truck with a bench seat.

Hey, nice! There's a few of those I should prolly give some attention to. That looks like a good seal, too. Did you have to buy a new case part? It looks shiny.

[PondSkum]

the shiny part was from the slip yoke eliminator kit... Hasn't been installed too long..

Not sure why it started leaking.. my u-joint at the rear diff pinion was loose (straps didn't tighten down on the caps all the way) so I had a vibration, it caused the pinion nut to loosen up, so maybe that vibration caused the leak? I don't know... :think

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

Id think most damage from any of that vibration would e closer to the source, by the yoke and not at your transfer case. It sounds weird that it would cause the case seals to leak at the split. Maybe it was just weak and that was it's final day. Who knows... It's fixed now, right? Drive on!

Got the undercarriage too!

[PondSkum]

Got the Clockspring all changed out.. Horn works again, but airbag light is still on... Dangit!!

Also almost finished up repairing the passenger seat release cable that make the seat tumble forward to allow passengers in the back seat.. $5 at the bicycle repair shop and it's almost as good as new!

I'm gonna try to do a quick write up on it when I get a chance...

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

i installed an aftermarket front drive shaft on my wifes JK this weekend. pics on facebook. can't get them over here at work...a lot better than the original one.

[SGT. K]

bought a new set of fog lights

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I picked up a set of 17" wheels off craigslist for $200 the other day. Today I got my X5 back from the shop with my new mud terrains on it. 245/70/10 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs. At just under 31" tall and 10" wide they surprisingly fit in the wells without rubbing. The E rated 3000# load capacity and 80psi max will make them great for towing, too.

I took em out for some mud holes and the tread worked great! I was able to crawl through all the sloppy stuff without too much wheelspin or momentum. They're hill climbing traction is also pretty surprising.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/TheLegendaryFox/X5/P6220009.jpg

Believe it or not, I wasn't stuck here. I just got out for a photo and was able to crawl right out. These things are awesome!

Where did you get the driveshaft from and how much did it cost?

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

i got it from RCO. under $400. dealer wanted $600 - $1000 for a factory unit. CRAZY!!!
RCO was pretty cool to deal with too. they made sure i got the right one with the lift and all on the jeep.

http://www.rivercityoffroad.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TDLJK

really nice drive shaft. i'll replace the rear shaft when it goes out. the factory drive shafts suck and use a cv type joint.

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

maybe Jason can pull the pics from facebook and post them up here for me...

I bought a spare set of driveshafts for the JK for $30! I got hooked up by another member.

[PondSkum]

Pulled the drivers seat to repair the release cable. And started to unbolt the roll cage to put the finishing touches on it finally...

[PondSkum]

Hah! Actually it was a mess before I started... Had to clean it up first! LOL

[TJRex06]

Yesterday.....I got dirty! lol.

[UstabeaRenegade]

I think i looked at it.........yea i remember now I did.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

lol I look at mine every day as I walk past it wishing it was in better shape.

Good news tho! I finally got me a PSC assist ram. I'll post some pics when I go to install it.

[SGT. K]

scored a softop, got to go pick it up next Sat.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I finally found a plenum to start my snorkel build. I've been going back and forth to O'Reilly's ordering a bunch of Spectre parts to make a modular snorkel. So far it's looking like it'll have to come out the front corner of the left fender.

The plenum looks great and matches up to the carb perfectly. Once I finish the mockup, I'll seal it down with some good, red silicone. My finger shows where I'm planing to route the rest of it to the outside.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/TheLegendaryFox/MUDBUS/P7150029.jpg

That little notch will put the tube coming out of the fender here, where my finger is. I'm thinking about riding the hoodline all the way to the A pillar, then coming up and ending at the roofline like a typical snorkel.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/TheLegendaryFox/MUDBUS/P7150033.jpg

I was considering running the snorkel to the interior thru the heater core like how I have the valvetrain breather hose, but I'm still not sure if that's the route I want to go. It would involve less material, and provide a secure mounting point for the filter to prevent theft, but it looks tricky.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/TheLegendaryFox/MUDBUS/P7150040.jpg

The tan square near the bottom left of this picture is where the firewall opening dumps into the cabin. For now, I have the valvetrain vent routed thru a deleted a/c vent, and up the a pillar and across the sun visors. It's extra tubing until I decide where I want to put it after a new dash. If I ran the snorkel inside like I wanted, it would run similar to this, but come out the dash between the glass and the dash which would require cutting of a new dash, and then up the a pillar. This would keep it more out of the passengers' way.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/TheLegendaryFox/MUDBUS/P7150042.jpg

Also, here is the 2" PSC ram I have. I have some mounting tabs in the garage ready to be drilled and prepped for welding, but I'm saving that for when I get it into a shop. There's no need for it just yet.

Hey don't paint it. The 90s multi color is the new retro. You just need some swirlies, zig zags, and dorito triangles. and maybe some yellow.

Adam, those little china bikes are a blast to play around with. Word from the wise, 1 is never enough, and do your PMCS before every time you ride it. They'll vibrate so much the damn nuts and bolts will back out whenever they want. I may have some extra parts lying around from my last 3 pocketbikes I had ... unless I gave it away already.

Sarge, you mean the air vents for the a/c? That's a lot of cutting and drilling just to get it to come out of the body. I mulled it over for a while and I think I'm gonna route it inside thru the core like the valvetrain vent for security. I'd hate to come out to the parking lot on a rainy day to find out my $50 filter had been stolen.

[SGT. K]

No the cowl is the section of sheetmetal that your wiper blade arms come out of. Thats some funnt video there, jason!

[Admntiumx]

I installed a Garvin wilderness roofrack. This was suppose to be a 3 hr install...man were they way off! When installing this rack you have to be very precise with the holes you drill. If you are off with your holes, you more or less ruin the entire install. Everything comes in unassembled and this is what took the most time. Prep for the install:

923

Once unpacked, I assembled the rack top with the floor posts and the license plate bracket to the driver side rear support arm:

924

I started the install by removing the brake light assemblies, and license plate bracket:

925
926

Then the fun part of masking of and marking my drill holes followed:
NOTE: I can't stress enough that these holes have to be precise. Everything ties into the rear body seam for strengthened support. If your marks are off you will have brackets that will not fit.
I also repaired the majority of the dent left from Hidden Falls since I was there

927

Holes drilled, you can install the rear supports, then the front supports:

928

With all supports installed, install the rack and floor posts. If you don't have help to lift it into place you can assemble just the rack and leave the floor posts for the last step. This cuts weight. But, I have kids so they were put to work!

929

One of the features of this rack that I will enjoy is the tilt. It allows me to drop the soft top with out removing anything. Garvin recommends 2 adults for this but I found it very easy by myself. Once its lifted back it balances out allowing you to install the tilt brackets.

930

I will be purchasing the wind deflector as it gets noisy at 55 mph or greater. Also, I will be mounting my hi-lift to the side as well as the ax and shovel. Big thank you goes to my co-worker who just traded his '09 for a Subaru and giving me this rack for free NIB. Thanks SSgt Parker! I'll post more as I drive with it on. Laterz

[SGT. K]

I am always worried about how much weight you can have when off-road I think I remember seeing like 150lb limit for off- road use. I could really use one, by the time you throw a couple of coolers, camping equipment and some fire wood you are over the limit. We'll keep us posted on what you like and dis like about it.

[SGT. K]

I painted Susan's rock rails and bumpers.

[Admntiumx]

Looks good! But now I can't say her jeep looks like a dudes.

I finished the electrical issues on mine for the run this weekend, apparently my jeep requires 110 amps combined to not burn wires.....wired the winch back up, oh and i forgot to mention installed a new ring and pinion, 1.5" .25 wall DOM drag link

[jam0o0]

this week:

bronco: repack front bearings, new front brake pads

f250: new trailer brake controller, new headlights, relocate coolant filter, build cold air intake, finish wiring for gauges, waste-gate adjustment.

[SGT. K]

installed the new xrc fenders on the front of the Jeep to match the ones I installed on the back a yr ago! Not totally sold on em not up to my specs! Spent a ton of money on em for half ass results and will spend a few weekends on them getting them to conform to the body! Really disappointing had the same problem with the rear fenders all made in china! Could of spent 2 months building it from scratch and came out with a far superior product that actually matched the body lines instead of half a-- bolting something up that doesnt come close to matching up the contour lines of the jk! really disappointed!

[basselete]

that's why im building my own tube fenders

Been working on wiring and planning for future accessories.. Got this blue sea fuse block from my father-in-law. Just need to find a cover for it. mounted under passenger seat where factory jack used to be. Has 12 circuits so plenty of room for adding lights and stuff. Currently only have my rock lights and CB wired in. 8 guage power wire from battery, with 100 amp circuit breaker should protect everything...

[basselete]

i have a cover for that fuse block if i can find it you can have it it doesnt fit in the cj

today on the yj i built brackets for a light bar. figured out how im gonna mount front axle. lost a good deal on a tpi setup and found an awesome deal for an 5.3 ls motor that im going to look at

Yeah, let me know if you find the cover! I would like to cover it up since it's all 12v HOT terminals under there.. I've searched google with no luck finding just a cover.. last resort if I couldn't make something was to buy another fuse block to get the cover... I planned to buy this exact one anyway, but my FIL had this one in his truck that he wasn't using anymore.. He was a volunteer fire chief out in Dayton and he had all his equipment wired into it.. but he doesn't live out there anymore and he's getting to "not young" to be doing that stuff anymore anyway.. LOL

Got this today... Get er done!

I got the MudBus back from Eric's the other day! The suspension is almost done - I just need to mount the rear shocks now. I'd post some pics but I don't want to flood this thread so you can check out my build thread if ya want. I went from 54" rear springs with 6" steel lift blocks in the rear, and 46" 6" arc springs up front, to 63" rear springs and 56" front springs with a shackle flip giving me the same lift and now 15" of travel! 9" down, and 6" up.

This week I'll get the exhaust done and post that up, too.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I got the exhaust done did up. The next step is welding on new rear shock mounts. Check my build thread for pics, coming soon.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I degreased the engine bay so I won't be afraid to pull the valve covers anymore, hehe. Unfortunately I'll run out of daylight before it dries so I'll have to adjust the lifters tomorrow.

[indirocz28]

I got my TBI 350 set in on the mounts, clutch, and transmission all bolted back up finally, and the fiance helped strip the old wires out from the dash.
Tomorrow hopefully I can get the transmission cross-member bolted up and start on the wiring.

[TEXAS MUDBUS]

I usually do motor mounts and transmission mounts at the same time. If the powertrain sits without the trans mounts for too long, sometimes the motor mounts get wallowed out. Do you have it supported? I remember doing the 350-700R4-241 install on my old 89 burban. It's pretty fun.

[Keith Huskins]

4 Wheel parts has my jeep now getting 5:13 gears, Super Chip and cool air no paycheck for next two weeks......lol

Yes I supported everything, but you will see the cause of my non fitment issues with it in my build thread.

[PondSkum]

Got the new track bar installed.. New rear bumper and hitch.. And got some new to me 37" MTRs to throw on for safe on road driving since the Iroks are almost at the end of their life.

Also got a new-used gas tank and skid to replace mine that sits 2" higher than it did before Hot Springs. LOL

yesterday i pulled the winch, coolers, radiator, fan and shroud.

today is hood, wiring, fenders, and the core support.

Worked on replacing my bent/broken lower control arm mounts.. Got one side cut off and new bracket tacked in place.. Fun job in a small garage with no lift!

I finally fixed that damned wobbly steering column and put some red Locktite on the bolts. Amazingly, after nearly a year of sitting in the driveway it fired right up after some priming of the carb! Big block Chevy's will run on such poor conditions, I love em.
