Wonder if you should throw a lock on those tires, seems like they would be easy to steal. I want to do the same thing, so I am curious to see if that setup jack knifes

Looks good, want to drag race on the air strip?

For the record, I formally approve this NOS installation.

I'm sure you've checked, but I would imagine your going to have some trailer tire/truck bumper issues when turning tight.

Everything else looks great.

Thanks. They serve as bump stops if you ever turn too tight.

Come to Clayton so you can inspect and provide approval.

Nice work Robbie!

Thanks!

I have locks for them but pack heat as well for anyone who wants to try.

Yup.

Finished wiring up the nitrous. I pulled a wide open throttle switch and digital window switch from my parts pile and wired them into the system. Got it setup to only activate at wide open throttle and above 2700rpm/below 6000rpm. Of course all of this is intended more for the Down South and Alto trips but what the hell, it'll still be a good time.

I see an airstrip test in your future....

Looks good man!

Thanks guys.


The rear leaf shackles were bent and had seen better days. Swapped 'em out tonight and thought I'd finally knocked everything out. Went for a drive and it's running awesome, everything's workin'.

Get back and do a once over under the hood. Luckily I didn't have the shop radio blasting or I wouldn't have heard the faint pressure leak from the radiator. Sure enough, there's one crack on the passenger side tank and another around the cores. It's barely seeping any coolant/water but I'm not chancing it, especially since it's a universal style from Jegs. New one is on it's way.

It lives again!

Short recap for those that weren't at Clayton '14....

Arrived Thursday night, Busa, Scott, Lynda, Sam, and a couple others go out for a night run. End up running Slim's Slope and all is going well until I back up to try a different line and feel the brake pedal go to the floor. This is what I found....





Hitch a ride with Scott over to Slim's and ask him if he has another knuckle or if he can repair mine. He say's yes but that he works at night, so Scott and I grab tools then head back up top. Forgot to bring allen wrenches so I end up having to pull the whole hub/rotor/caliper/knuckle/axle shaft assembly as one piece and carry it up the mountain. At some point I slipped and whacked my leg right on my phone which crushed the screen in the process. (Funny side note- Bought a new phone in Dallas on my way home, but I figured I'd try and fix the old one for a backup. Ordered a new lcd/screen for my old phone for $120, changed it out, and sure enough it fixed it.)

Scott and I dropped the broken knuckle off at Slim's around 2:30 am. Woke up at 8 am, ate breakfast, and went over to Slim's. He had just finished the repair and only charged me $80. (Scott, I owe ya man. Really appreciate the support.)







Got it back together and was good to go for the weekend until late Saturday when again I backed up to try a different line on Walk in the Park. Heard a loud "Bang" like a bell ringing. Broke the entire leaf spring pack clean in half on the right front.




Busa is the man when it comes to broken leaf springs. He knew just what to do and rigged up my winch line so I could continue onward. Drove it out, back to the A&A, and on the trailer...success!

Looks good, except for that coil. Mine would arc through the insulator to the - post and eventually kill the icm

the tfi style one is the way to go

[JB]

looks good. Let me know when you want to go cut some trails at the ranch.

[CheapJeep]

Thanks man. I'll let ya know, might be going back up there in a couple weeks.

This weekend was a company outing so I introduced some of my supervisors and coworkers to the wheeling world...scared the **** out of a couple of them but they had fun.

Video of me launching it up a small climb with one of the sales engineers riding passenger.

I'm waiting for the GoPro footage I shot to upload on youtube.


Didn't take a whole lot of pics except for messing around by the house.

What's your wheelbase at? width and length

[Sharpe]

It's a CJ5 with full widths. The wheelbase is square.
