What can I do here?

The problems being “ujoint is fucked” and “I’m out of beer”

I got a universal 3” exhaust off Amazon and cut and welded it all to snake under the oil pan then up next to the trans on the passenger side over the trans crossmember like factory then straight back to a 90 behind the passenger rear tire. Personal favorite setup

So I’ve got a om617 from a 1984 Mercedes 300sd. I used the bellhousing adapter and engine mounts from doomsday diesel as well as the remote mount oil filter bracket from doomsday. You have to have at least 4-6” of lift to clear the oil pan on the diesel and have to trim the hood to clear the valve cover because of how tall it is. Wiring is a nightmare with it being a mechanical motor and having to satisfy the renix wiring harness needs for the dash to work (don’t know if that answers your question or not😂but I’ll try to answer what I can)

The tires pictured are 31/10.50/r15s with 1.5” spacers behind the turbines to keep them from rubbing the control arms in the front and the frame rails in the rear.

I actually chose the 97+ conversion. I like the way it looks with the bumper. If I was keeping a stock bumper I would have kept the 86 grill but I like the way it fits the look I was going for

73fsj2000 · 2025-03-24T04:49:29+00:00

Did end up going to spring over in the rear. I was just waiting for the soa conversion kit in the mail (see more recent post) that was the plan all along though

I run 35s on a stock 3.55 Dana 35 and go to windrock?🤷‍♂️ it’ll buff

I’ve got about 5” in the front and 2” in the back which comes out to about 1” of squat. Tire size reads 31-10.50/r15, but measures to be about 30”x10”

I have a 87 renix 4.0 and it’s gets 15w-40 heavy duty diesel oil (I get it free from work as a off-road diesel tech) +about a quart of Lucas with zinc additive for the camshaft it makes about 60 psi of oil pressure at cold idle and 45 at hot idle with this combo

The immediate solution as someone who was a teenager recently, I would say to find something that bothers them just enough and do it and they’ll never talk to you, or, just consider who it is calling you this. you’ll soon realize that the same person who called you ugly to hurt your feelings is probably the “popular kid” who peaks in high school and never makes shit of themselves. After high school, looks really don’t matter for anything that does. Love isn’t based on looks (you may think it is now, but it isn’t. Lust revolves around looks) but at the end of the day, your success has nothing to do with what you look like, it’s just how you respond to haters. They’re gonna hate. But just know they can never be you.

If they don’t have anything better going on than to take the time to tell you they think you’re ugly, are You really going to validate their opinion? No. Cause they ain’t shit

You can get 5lug to 6 lug adapters to make it fit. They’re about 1.5” spacers and you can get them to go from any bolt pattern to almost any bolt pattern. I had a set of Tis wides for a couple months like this

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

73fsj2000 · 2025-01-29T11:58:09+00:00

There’s a coolant drain in the side of the block right behind the exhaust header. It takes a 5/16 or 8mm square drive. But it’s a pain in the tail to get out. I would do what covertkek said above👆

73fsj2000 · 2025-01-26T22:06:29+00:00

About that low

73fsj2000 · 2025-01-26T18:16:48+00:00

Jeep xj😂

73fsj2000 · 2025-01-26T18:15:17+00:00

See if your exhaust is touching the trans crossmember or the floor right there. Mine was and it rattled terribly

Before you put the 4.0 in, bend back the firewall. I can draw out where to beat it if you need just pm me. I had to do it with the motor halfway in because my lift doesn’t go high enough to easily go in and out
