Lynda's "CJ" Buildup Progress

[Seth]

im guessing the little filter is for OBA? keepin the exhaust quiet i see? also - are those flex universal hoses pretty dependable?

[redcagepatrol]

yes, the little filter is for the on-board air. It's very quiet at idle (hardley tell it's running if the fan's off) and still sounds good when the tires are breaking loose in third. I hope the flex hose is dependable - it's made by Gates so that makes me feel better.

Scott is going to smoke everyone. He'll have all of the odds and ends wrapped before my floor is even done. Pisses me off! Scott, it looks like 1101 again. Luckily you have a deep driveway.

done.

haven't used it yet, but I'll try it soon and make sure it all works.

[Cajun]

Sheesh. All that work and you can't even manage to put the tires on the right way.

Excellent work man.

I already swapped them - last week...

how did you connect the airlines to the compressor? pics?

[redcagepatrol]

I went to the j-yard and got some stock hoses - cut the truck side ends off while was there to get the hose for free...

Then on the suction side I cut the AL "nipple" down by the compressor and slid a hose over it with a hose clamp. On the Discharge side I left the flex hose long and inserted a barbed fitting with a hose clamp. I'll try to get a pic for you.

did you seriously only use 3 grinding wheels, 2 flap discs and 2 sanding discs?!?!

no, I used like 7 just getting the old crap off the frame... That's why I added $500 to the cost which might not be enough...

[eight]

I've used about 2 grinding wheels and one sanding disc total on my jeep, and it shows.

Anyway, I'm gonna be in your neighborhood in a little while.

[redcagepatrol]

bought some 6x9's and the "pods" fit perfectly! We were pretty happy about that
