have you tried bleeding that clutch yet? I'd still think about getting a flexible line for it. If you can't find a place down there I could get bryan hose and gasket to make one.

Linelock for burnouts? :gigem:
those tires are too expensive for burnouts - but mabey once in a while will be OK :gigem:
I'll consider fixing that line some time later...
I have a new problem, the YJ tub fenders don't even come close the the CJ grill. It's like 2" too far foward and 2" shy of the left right plane.
My options are:
1) cut the tube 2" shorter and graft that 2" in the short bend side so it reaches the grill - this would cause some modification to the top plate
2) bend the part bolted to the tub so the whole fender is "dovetailed" towards the grill - if I do this, it looks funny near the tub because it's under the hood instead of even with it.
3) borrow a 1.25" die from someone and bend the tube some more.
What do ya'll think? - it was hard to take pics while holding it in place
I have an 1.25" die, but it's for a protools bender...
option 2 doesn't sound bad, but it's hard to say without seeing it. that sucks though. can you just get cj ones instead?
I did - they have a 90 degree bend in it - ugly as sin, I sent them back... I will make these work somehow.
I cut 1.5" off and bent them in - it's close to working. It looks like I will have to lengthen the piece of steel bolted to the grill by about 1/2" - or redrill / slot the holes
A lot of nice work on there.
Does your front brake line run under the front of the axle? If so, why mount it there instead of off of the spring plate on top?
That clutch hardline will probably not last long. From my experience, it will break at the worst possible time also. You should be able to use an off the shelf line to resolve that. A brake line with adapters would work.
where's linda in all these pics? just b/c she's prego doesn't mean she can't hold the light!
He can swap the springs and do whatever without messing with the brake lines
Looks good Scott :gigem:
You can't buy them at the parts stores - dealer item. I might try a brake line with some adapters or have something made.Quote:

Very cool idea on the brake line. I may steal it!
so, why the front line lock and no cutting brakes?
edit: or, let me rephrase, is that front line lock installed backwards?
cutting brakes don't work - the one tire ALWAYS slides unless it has a rock or ledge to stop it. I have the parking brake on the Stak - it will be used for tight corners..
so, why the front line lock?
where'd you get the fuel pump and do you have a P/N? is it a stocked item or an order only item? what size are the fittings on it?
what MC did you end up going with?
you can't copy me :flipoff2:
I got the fuel pump from Fuel Injection Specialities in SA when I ordered the wire harness and computor programming. It has 1/8" pipe connections - FIS provided adapters to 6AN.
I went with the big for car MC - had to trim the wire near the booster to make it fit.
Front line lock is for burnouts!!! or helping the Jeep stay put on downhills.
dont try to be sneaky, i know what big ford car you're talking about. i can't waste all my time with research. :flipoff2:
hook that pump up to power and tell me how loud it is, would ya?
True Joseph. That would be a pain. I also just realized it's on the back, not the front. Those wheels are hella sexy. Watch out Lee N., there's a new pink lover on the trail.
The renegade sticker really isn't pink.
The renegade sticker is going to get painted over the same color as the body, white. In answer to your question Grayson, I havn't had as much involvment in building up the Jeep as I originally wanted too. The Jeep work has been expedited due to the baby so Scott has been staying up till midnight working on it while I've been going to bed a few hours after I get home from work (because you get super fatigued during your pregnancy). I've also been traveling a lot for work. Then on the weekends I've taken up my own projects in the house like re-doing both bathrooms and the baby room, shopping for baby furniture, our own bedroom furniture, and of course the day to day errands. But just for you, perhaps we'll get a picture of me sanding the bondo this weekend :)
make sure you're barefoot when you do it. :gigem:Quote:

You know, if you need a pink Renegade sticker, you might know a couple of people that could make that happen.
I'm already checking on the cowl decals. Let me know if you want any other decals.
Oh, let's do it up like a golden eagle with the giant hood bird, but in shades of pink!
I was just making a reference that women should be barefoot and pregnant. What's the point in being pregnant and wearing shoes...that's dumb! :)
"Pinken Eagle" What do you call it Scott? Rasberry or some such gayness?
The fact that Scott knows another color for pink is enough to know he's experienced a woman's influence for too long. :D
the "Raspberry Raven"!!!1111!!!!
I already thought of the Golden Eagle in shades of pink idea, but then we decided that probably wouldn't work well since we are painting the Jeep with Zolatone. I definitely don't like Renegade or Wrangler stickers on the side of my trucks. I think just a few rasberry accents on the white will look really good (roll cage, JEEP cowl decal, bead locks, and maybe steering...I don't think I like the colored pumpkin trend anymore, but we'll see).
how do you'll plan to paint the zolatone? I hear normal sprayers won't give you the textured look. I really like the black mixed with white colors (onyx or hamlet), and would love to paint the 4runner with it as long as it was somewhat textured and didn't just come out gray
It's not the spraygun type that affects the texture as much as the needle and orifice size on the nozzle of the gun.
Scott painted his Patrol with zolatone in the front yard of his place in colllege. He just used a spray nozzel thingy...whatever you normally do...he'll have to answer exactly what, but it did come out textured.
Yeah, it's not a big deal....you just make sure the nozzle is big enough, crank up the pressure, and make sure you spray it evenly and not thick and you're fine.
you use a bedliner gun with like a 1/4" nozzle. You adjust the pressure for the texture.
Raspberry Raven - jeeez :flipoff2:
You can use a normal HVLP gun as long as you have a nozzle around 2mm. But, to be honest, I wouldn't want to subject a good hvlp gun to that, and most don't come with a 2mm nozzle.
I had to bend the 1.25" tube a little more on the tube fenders to get them to match the top plate... It pisses me off to pay for parts that are supposed to make my life easier - only to have to fix them when they come in :mad:
So - after trimming about 1.25" off the YJ tube fenders, tweaking the whole fender towards the grill, and re-bending a bend that should've been right, I finished the tube fenders.
EDIT - you might notice in the last pic that the hood sticks out further than the fender at the body because I bent the whole fender in so it would reach the grill...
Didn't get too much else done because I wasn't feeling well on Friday and Sunday

BUt - the YJ tube should've been bent to the same radius of the YJ plate... I didn't want to pull out my bender for that :flipoff2:Quote:
