Well I have bin having some thumping under 5mph and crazy high vibration at 60mph on the dot. So I pulled the front shaft, problem solved. :thumbup:

Yup I need one.
Pictures don't do it justice.

Inside where pictured is worn,cracked, obligated and probably some other shit. Tomorrow ill open it up and take more pictures. Getting one Wednesday from a friend and already have new universals .

Broken parts is a really good reason to upgrade

Hell ya, my buddy who's helping me with the lift has bin wanting to hold out for warmer weather. Well since he was with me today when it went he's all for doing it sooner.

Well its bin a wile since I got anything done. Today was sweet got the rear sway off and put some cheap ($45) lights from advanced auto on. Should hold me over tll I can get some PIAAS. I'll report back tonight on how they work.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 9:20 pm

Fired them up tonight and though not one of the trendy brands I'm very impressed. Great light for the money.

Post by **Blasphemous** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 10:17 am

Can you get a picture of them shining down the road or something else flat? That'll give us a better idea of how well they light up.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 7:35 pm

Will do.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 3:50 pm

Still haven't taken a better pic of the lights yet.

Got a little dirty today.

Up on the ramps looking for a couple sounds. Fixed the heat shield that was rattling me crazy. Still can't find the cause of a metal on metal clunk in the front drivers side wheel area. Happens almost every time I hit a bump. Almost sounds like something loose shifting bit I can't find shit.

Pulled my rear bumper ends tomorrow on my lunch break ill rough it up so I can bed line it tomorrow night.

Still haven't tackled the lift.

The clunking up front is probably either the shock or a bushing. Check out

Post by **Oneswunk** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 6:51 pm

Well my shocks are about shot but no problem there, got new ones in my lift kit about to go on. Bushings look good. After more inspection found the problem. Inside the coil there's a shock like thing I believe its a dampener, well there's a rubber bump stop on it. I'm missing the one on the driver side.

Well since I was sad I had to back out on wheeling this weekend. I treated myself to some K&N and started my "cold" air intake.

So far..
1. K&N cone filter.
1. Cone breather filter.
1. 60° angle.
2. Hose clamps.

Tomorrow after work ditch the rest of the air box, make a air dam and a bracket to hold it still.

Today got the first coat of Herculiner on the rear bumper and some of the side. Hopefully ill get the second coat on tonight and the rest of the side done on Monday.

Plan is to do the white trim and down.

Should look less clumpy after the second coat.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Sat Apr 03, 2010 8:41 pm

Got the second coat on by the light of well flood light.
Looks better in person. Touched up a little after I took the pic.

sweet! I want something cool like that. how fuked is your gas mileage.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Sat Apr 03, 2010 10:16 pm

Well haven't got the lift on or the 31" tires yet to mpg is normal for a Jeep. Around 14mpg. I'm hoping the intake will help a little. As is left and go with bigger tires it will drop. My buddy gets about 7 with his 34s.

Post by **Blasphemous** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 9:32 am

With the 4.0 and proper gears, you should still see at least double digit numbers. I had an old Mazda on 35's and I got 14mpg with a warmed over 4 cylinder.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 9:50 am

I believe improper use of the skinny peddle has something to do with his low MPG.

Oh yea, that will kill mpg fast in a lifted rig.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 1:23 pm

Some better pix...

Post by **Oneswunk** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 5:52 pm

Started wire wheeling my drums then remembered I have a bead blaster at work fuck this shit. Probably pop them off at lunch sometime this week for a blast and paint.

Ditched this useless pos a wile ago forgot I had a pic.

I'm loving all the warm weather.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 5:46 pm

Took it out on the trail after ditching the rear sway bar.

Need moar flex.

And better shit to flex on.

Post by **Oneswunk** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 5:16 pm

Reorganized again.
From this.

To this. Same shit just better use of space.

Moved recovery gear to under back seat.

Now I just have to reorganize my survival shit and get it back in there.
