Hopefully they arn't like the bilstine 5100s on my jeep. When they are cold they are rock hard.

Lol nope 4" basically you don't need to step up to even a 5" unless you plan to make over 600HP. Personally I plan to keep it at the stock 300hp

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Driz, you make that panel insert? Looks like it houses everything well. Installed a CB and SWR'd it today, the firestickIIs with the adjustable tip are nice for tuning. Also removed the mudflaps. I partly did. I used the mounting kit that was in there for the aftermarket deck. I took the lid off an...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Nice, you'll like that charging port. It works great on mine. Picked up the truck today from the shop. $998 tax in for everything. They gave me the wrong alignment sheet though, I was reading it and thought, damn these before numbers were good. Then I saw it was for a honda crv lol. The following w...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Fnished some dash upgrades, got the old cb replaced, along with the deck, added a USB charging port and moved the winch controls to the dash since there was some free space left.

It's the jeep. That's an old school psc high volume pump from a hydro assist kit. Next up if the rest of the system works will be to mount the ram and get my hydro assist working.

It's the 2000s, I would thought we'd have eradicated hood prop rods by now. I'd like to delete the one on our Xterra.
Not going anywhere on wranglers. Hood socks stop you from flipping the hood all the way back to the windshield for better access.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Ya, you got it right. as much as 90% of the applied torque is lost due to friction/debris. If it were easy, we would never mention torque but rather clamping force. Some torque specs I have seen instead will say seat and then turn 5/6 of a turn or similar. I have seen 30% used for reduction to lubr...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

What's the concern with anti-seize beside looking like the tin man 11.2 seconds after opening the can? It increases the tightening torque on the fastener you use it on. I just lowered the amount of torque to compensate. But supposedly it can cause people to overtighten and strip threads. I am not a...

Ahh, someone's been in there before, all bets are off then lol. I remember after swapping the engine in mine the harness touched the manifold while I was in Burlington. Lost all my gauges on the skyway bridge. Well I had Wagner ThermoGarbage on there before. Low dust, low noise, low stopping power ...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Mmm green crusties. Is that a Chrysler thing or was that truck poorly maintained? This weekend I replaced the front pads on the Pathy. Used EBC GreenStuff. What a difference! Really? Never noticed a huge difference on the jeep. The truck has about 450k on it and who knows how may hours idling so I ...
