I have to run it too
whats with the map? its driving me crazy.
It's a treasure map, at the end of it there is a pot of gold
and by gold, I mean tires and rims
back o de baze?
the best little whorehouse in Dubai?
Maxxis doesn't do 20s?
um, no...
That is a topic of much heated debate. While the Cyclone has top shelf Russians there, The York Club has a very wide selection (Russians, Phillipino, South African and Asian). If you have ever wondered what women talk about when they say going to a club makes them feel like they are meat in the market and all of the guys want to get up close, then go to the York. That place is forkin crazy! If I get there in time enough to stop by, I'll try to post up a blog about it. :beer:
If he needed bigger brakes, then I could see this as an option. The 17's should be big enough to fit any brake system he needs, yet not put him into the 'blingin' crowd.

back of the base. couldnt type for ****.
Well it runs and drives, suspension works great doesn't torque the body up when you get on the gas anymore and little body roll in the corners even w/o sway bars.
pictures tomarrow when it is light outside
schweet!
So what's left for this biatch to be trail ready?
install/ build front driveshaft install front axle shafts/ hubs
I would like to build a skidplate if anyone has a large piece of 1/4 or 3/16 plate laying around

Please ingnore that the wheels don't match I will paint them soon
Looks awesome Creighton! What did your wheelbase come out to be?
its like 107ish"
drives great but fully hydro is touchy, which is nice but takes a while to get used to over sloppy steering
Built some tube fenders this weekend I think they came out pretty good and should hold up a lot better than the sheetmetal
Cut 3 inches out of the hood

still need to smooth them out a little and paint and add hood latches back
your pictures dont work
Yes they do
I just fixed them I think I might make some for the back so the tires don't throw quite so much mud
do you plan on attaching them to the front grill hoop?
Sick! Similar rear fenders will look awesome.
I thought about attaching them to the grill hoop and I might but then it would be hard to take them off
the place you live/work looks like it sucks and i would never want to live there.
at least that's what im going to tell myself.
I hear he has a dik for a boss, so you might fit right in up there jer. :flipoff2:
Looks good Creighton. Can you build some flanges between the fenders and the front hoop to keep it removeable? I don't know that it would really need it, but I have seen how you wheel. :beer:
Well motor doesn't seem to be too bad off, lots of mud in cylinders 1 and 2
no bent/broken valves and nt bent/broken rods should run once I get it all clean and put back together

Thats alot of mud lmao.
all cleaned up and put it back together tomarrow I bet it runs just as ****ty as it did before.
Damn 4.0l's are turning out to be a hard motor to kill no wonder they used them for almost 20 years
damn that is a lot. mine didnt have anywhere near that much and was toast
I hope you can get it running son, get it cleaned up and smoking again before February!!
yeah it didn't take much water at all to bend a rod in JB's bronco I figured the engine was toast but I may have gotten lucky
Next time I head out to the rednceck games I will come equiped with a dorkel
well its all back together but no run. I am not getting hardly any (40psi) compression on any cylinders.
Now the whole front clip is off and I think I want to front half the frame and I can solve my spring rub, tie rod frame interference and track bar radiator interference.
The trackbar hit the radiator again and cracked the fitting at the bottom, luckily it is aluminum so I can just get it welded up.
if the compression is consistant on all 6 you should check the dots on your timing chain.
yeah I am going to do that first but I decided to pull the entire front clip off to make it easier
Out with the motor it is time to start looking for an LQ9 and a new tranny probably and auto tranny
oh and I will probably chop off the front half of the frame to sweep the grill/ radiator back a little big and get some more up travel in the front end
Sounds like you have a good plan together. Thoughts on the tranny yet? My vote is a 4L80e w/ the manual valve body if you can swing it. That's what I want to go with when we build the 4 seater buggy. (the koh/dirtymax will have to have a 6speed ally in it. :D )
Why bother with the expense, length and electronics of a 4L80E on a trail rig?
While I agree the LQ9 is a great engine with lots of power, what is wrong with going with a throttle body 350 with a TH 350 or 400? Seems proven and reliable. Less power, but do you need the more hp for the cost?
can we just say 6.0? I had to google lqniner
