I cut part of the grill away to fit a Warn 9000i. I'd do that and move the winch back before removing any more metal from the bumper.

I have the MT RT03's in 31x10.5x15. Maybe my inflation wasn't right or the alignment was off or just the Arizona heat but I've had uneven wear on alternating edge lugs. I used to keep them inflated so the contact patch was even across the tire. At this point, after about 20k miles, they've a...

Not to complain but it looks like the coupon is for 5% off the order. Still good though, thanks!

I had to grind the mounting bracket to enlarge space where the alternator goes to get it to fit. Don't think the larger alternators will bolt up to the stock bracket without that. I suppose you could make a short strap with two holes in it to bridge the gap between the holes. If the top bolt...

you might check out Protofab's rear bumper. A jerry can carrier on a passenger side swing out arm is an option. The latch system they use keeps the tire from bouncing around. It does make backing up to a trailer (for instance) more of a challenge. Not much of a way around that except to use a...

I have the Trail Master DB's but they're the same thing. The top bolts on the control arm bracket (holding the bracket to the unibody) are the 10mm x 90mm which use the 2" "crush sleeve." The sleeve is just a piece of tube cut to length. The 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bolts are the lower ones and use...

Have you looked through the instructions? http://www.roughcountry.com/install/1627.pdf

pretty sure the top are reverse torx. 5-90 had a good suggestion, replace each these POS when you get them out with a couple pieces of threaded rod. Use the threaded rod to help hang the bell housing when reinstalling and secure with a nut. Cutting the flange off if you strip the head...

DEI is the brand name of a heat shield tubing made for plug wires, fuel lines and similar. Search on DEI heat sheath

I think the main thing I take away from it is that the trim numbers are not running at -10 or -12 as predicted earlier in this thread. My interpretation is that the computer is able to control the mixture without shutting down the injectors (shortening the pulse width?) too much. It's...

It's called OBDCom (http://www.obdtool.com/software-obd.htm) goes for around $90 including the obdII cable. It's OK but doesn't save settings (like the showing the gauges after a restart) and a few other quirky things but better than a plain code reader/wiper. Only runs on Windows OS, an...

installed a set of 703's from two Neons this weekend. A couple of screen shots of obdcom output. The first one is to capture the steady state behavior of the fuel trim during a period of 40-50mph. The second has a short acceleration segment. for comparison added a screen print with data...

You can also cut the threaded extension off the driver's rear head bolt and relocate the ground strap to the next head bolt forward. Then bash the sheet metal edge just above back. Gives a bit more wiggle room to get the socket / extension in there. Can't remember if I took one or both of...

Can you post a pic or two of the crack repairs? Did they drill a hole at the ends of each crack and then weld? Is this a new block / old head combination? On some newer blocks (96 anyway) there was a locating pin in the rear passenger corner of the block that fit a socket in the head...

Nice. Looks like you've raised the gas tank so a stock skid is out, are you planning on plating over the tank or just leaving it?
