    The Plumbus

    Whoops I somehow missed this comment. I ran a heavier gauge wire from the battery, along the firewall and to a fused two post. The individual wires to the fuses come off of that with ring terminals. Removal of the ABS module cleared up plenty of space. Even more if you have a cowl intake...

    The Plumbus

    Went to Uwharrie last week. Had too much fun to get any real action shots, but it did great. I can feel the jeep wanting to climb straight up ledges a whole lot more than my previous short arm jeep did. The Jeep has a rebuilt 4.0, .040 over APN header into high flow cat, and flowmaster 40...

    Improving ride on a DPG OME lift

    *Let's say you hit a small bump across the road going about 30. How exactly does the front take the bump? What about the rear? Any steering feedback?

    Improving ride on a DPG OME lift

    How many miles are on the new suspension? Can you explain more how the ride quality is poor? Let's say you hit a

    I noticed the passenger side rear is leaning a bit, and chalked it up to spare tire weight. However I happened to notice this when greasing my lca joints - fixed end leaf spring eye is offset inboard. It appears to be distorting the shackle bracket outboard a hair as a result of levering the...

    Wait a minute I skimmed over the first post. Carry on.

    Engine/Oil Heating Options?

    I have a brand new Mopar freeze plug - type block heater still in the box that I didn't install. I paid $75 + shipping for it. You can have it for $70 shipped

    Comp Shackles or Stinky Fab shackles

    I've had this idea in my head for a while but haven't tried it. The rubber bushings in the rear leaves must allow for some side to side sway. Why not use the stock rear sway bar with some disconnects on it in order to gain a more solid towing behavior? Or in yall's case, using the rear sway bar...

    Yes it did. It was much easier to get to the hvac box bolts that go through the firewall with the enine out of the vehicle. This project has turned out to be a 'while you're in there' process. Stay tuned Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    The Jeep has been undergoing phase 2 of the build. It began with pulling the engine after overheating it and developing some serious valve train noise. With the engine out I installed an auxillary relay box near the brake booster. The relay box powers my high/low beams, auxillary lights...

    3 link diy?s

    I have the Dirtbound 3-link at 3.5" of lift with stock axle side UCA mount. It works, but the UCA bent a 1" tunnel in the floorboard. It's not noticeable through the floor mat

    OME 3" vs 4"

    I would recommend using adj. control arms, both upper and lower, to accommodate the different geometry made by the lift. I have put about 15,000 miles on a 3.5" lift (RE superflex, stock UCAs). It had plenty of flex with 31s and stuffed 33's like a glove, but the ride on road was horrible. It...

    I replaced the transmission mount when I did the motor mounts. I've read that the mount I got (Anchor) is known to be a POS My exhaust pipe is hitting the new crossmember but the sound I'm hearing is 100% a driveline noise and I can distinguish it from the exhaust tapping on the crossmember

    Been busy on the Jeep for a few weeks now. Stripped the interior to install sound deadening. Found some light rust in both driver and passenger floor boards. Didn't get pictures of the finished product, but I put sound deadening (butyl) on the roof, all doors and trunk, and the entire floor to...
