Shibbyjeep's Trenticus Build

[Freddy D]

@Freddy D you can see some of the spots I have hit with my truck in this thread. I reactivated my book of faces to join some groups on there. On my trip to Moab I met a guy thats become a pretty good friend that helps run a group on there that is active in camping and wheeling. Not just mealing over wheeling lol.

Thanks! I am not on the book of faces because i can't stand that garbage, but it seems like pretty much all the jeep groups have moved there to organize outings and whatnot. May have to get on there with a burner email or something and check it out.

You dont have to get on there lol. I can always keep you in formed of stuff that is going down. I know this weekend Hutch is hosting a group of people to wheel out at Gulches. Overland South is the weekend of Nov 8th(I am going to that and will be camping that weekend.) Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam is Oct 31st-Nov 2nd. The Loose Nuts group I wheel with are going to Windrock the weekend of Nov 20th. And finally the group I went to Moab with earlier this year is going to Stony Lonesome the weekend of Nov 15th(I might go on this trip I might not bc doing 4 weekends in a row of events right before Turkey day may be a lot lol). Thats all of the wheeling trips I know of at the moment. Feel free to PM me anytime as well.

Those all sound fun, thanks so much for the info! I have some friends I tailgate with who live right outside of Knoxville and they mentioned Windrock being awesome and said I should go. Also want to get to Gulches too but would have to mostly watch I believe on my stock suspension.

I'll PM you at some point on here to see what's going on. Thanks again.

Used the truck to move the trailer around the yard at work so that I could rewire it from 24V to 12V. Now its set up with a standard 7 pin connector and all light now work.

Well I actually couldn't wait til the weekend lol. Went ahead and did all my "fender projects" tonight. Installed my inner fender liners, my arb Compressor, and did my fender chop with Infinite Offroad Chop brackets!

Did you have to drill any holes for those inner fender liners to get mounted ? I don't want to drill any holes in the body of my Jeep.

 

[Stan H]

Under the knife!

Who did your regeaar ?

No more dry starts for my ole 3.6. Thanks to the Baxter Performance Oil Filter Adaptor.

Well out of the need to save time the design changed on the rack to just a straight across bar. And we only built the middle bars, bit thats enough to mount the tent so I can go camp with the trailer Nov 7th-9th at Overland South

With Good oil film from Quality oil the so called 3.6seconds is nothing more than a sales pitch point for Baxter. Do you know that it takes 35 minutes before the oil drains down on the regular filter ?
I am sure that in 140,000 miles if the so called dry start issue was truly a real issue I think I would have noticed it.
But it probably does a good job I'm sure. After all it is a filter.

There is a reason there is a waiting list thats something like 11,xxx people long for left camshafts... better safe than sorry.

Yeah, simple is best sometimes.

I run my jeep every day . My guess is possible some of these jeeps are sitting for weeks and weeks at a time before a start up. Thats always been a theory of mine. Dont know though.
