  1. Project retro phase two and three complete, she's coming together

    I used 1/4 stainless button head Allen bolts. They could be painted to match but I just left them bare.
  2. Project retro phase two and three complete, she's coming together

    Actually other things took priority so I have not got it built yet. Decided to redesign anyway and lower the winch down.
  3. Project retro phase two and three complete, she's coming together

    Open ended cone seat. The factory lugs felt like the stud was binding into the cap.
  4. Auto transmission not shifting intermittently

    I have notice delayed upshifts sometimes on mine as well. currently at 38000 miles. Only happens when cold, starting off about 35 degrees or less ambient and traveling upgrade on 55mph two lane until trans above 140 degrees. I suspect it may be a shift map initiated under certain trans temp/...
  5. First post! with a serious question regarding a 5.9 cummins...

    Not to be a buzzkill but I have done several engine swaps including diesels over the years. That cummins has got a lot of torque so the stock jeep driveline would be a potential issue but I think the big killer and the hardest to overcome is cooling capacity. The radiator size that can be fit...
  6. Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

    I just replaced mine yesterday. Ran 36000 miles no problem. I could have got another 5K probably but the weather is turning. Rain? I saw zero issues, even worn. I ran mine at 34psi warmed up. They got noisy during the last 5K but I have a radio knob for that.

  11. Project retro phase two and three complete, she's coming together

    Those are wheel vintiques jw smoothie. Got them from Summit racing. Wheel Vintiques can tell you the part # for the caps which summit also sells but They don't list (or they didn't) Thet old style jeep logos where made by a sign making friend of mine locally. If you would want those I can get...
  12. Magnetic drain plug for differentials?

    You can actually add magnets to the outside of the cover. Just stick them on and they will hold the debris against the inside.
  13. Paging ShadowsPapa, @ShadowsPapa please come to the courtesy counter

    I will chime in on this since I have done it myself and seen the positive and negative effects. I did this on old engines before that have either not been maintained or just left to set for years. What we did is use a mix of 20% oil to 80% kerosene or diesel. In a light scummed up engine (gas...
  14. Climate control is out-of-control?

    Mine acts like that as well. I would like to know where the temp sensor is for the HVAC system. The best I can figure it must be inside the spare tire. Honestly a 70 degree setting will be sub-arctic one day and Death Valley the next, I guess climate change is real...at least inside my cab. I...
  15. EAG front bumper feedback?

    I have one, purchased it to carry the winch until I got a chance to build what I want out of aluminum. Fit and finish were great. Welds good. Factory fogs fit as they should. They powder coat probably the only weak point but I just used it as primer for a top coat of body color anyway. For the...
  16. Did you buy a Jeep that is a truck or a truck that is a Jeep?

    In my case I have had a truck in the herd since 1990. Big ones, small ones and even 2wd Datsun once. Added a CJ7 to the fleet once but practicality raised is ugly head and when one of the vehicles had to go...well you know the rest of the story. I have wanted a jeep BUT could not justify it...
  17. Black Bear Pass

    I recommend to anyone to go out there at least once. If you don't you are missing the views of a lifetime. Well worth it.
  18. Black Bear Pass

    we were going down and yup, we all rode the bikes off the wall. The oldest in our group was 64 and the youngest was 40 at the time
  19. Black Bear Pass

    My riding buddies and me went out to Ouray a few years ago on the enduro bikes for a week. Rode all the passes and any trail we could find. Absolutely beautiful scenery unfortunately the road required 100% of your attention most of the time. I look at some of the video from the helmet cameras...
