On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
the airsoft pellets are freaking great, they balance really well up to 50 (fastest i've gotten it up to) and make a great 'wooshing' noise at low speeds.
-rewired electric fans, now have one on an on-off switch and one thermostatically controlled
-Replaced bent front center pins
-Added 'spring retainer' plates to front u-bolt plates to stop the leafs from spanning out
-Shortened front d-shaft by 1 1/8"
-Braced up skid plate and added protection for transmission
-Made new anti-wrap bar crossmember
-Added factory seals to 609 hub/shaft flange instead of rtv
-New tranny hump cover plate
Still need to fix my temp gauge, the needle no longer moves, checked the wiring and everything appears ok, i think it my be the coolant sensor, need to look into it.
I was having some serious steering binding issues when I turned more than 20 degrees and horrible front end chirping issues. Corrected the chirping by properly adjusting the toe and replacing all the bearings and seals in the front spindles/hubs. And found the tie-rod was making whoopy with my leaf springs when I turned.
I don't want to drop the cash on high steer arm spacers/studs. So I built some 1/4" spacers from plate (thickest I could go with the 3" studs). The nut now sits flush with the studs on the knuckles. Steering is much better. No chirping and no binding (at least on the road).
I need to flex it out on the RTI ramp and turn lock to lock to see if thel tr still rubs the springs under compression. We will see.

take a leaf or two out of those spring packs and it should help as well

The story on the sides is that I got them for half price because they are for a yj so I filled the fuel filler and hinge holes as well as extending the guard 1.5" downward to meet my rocker guards. Again, pretty proud of the way they came out, can't even tell I modified them.
Looks good
