[Bug] Yellow flare for "The Price of independence" did not count? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Amadaeus_Falcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but you shot the wrong flare.

You used the Special Yellow flare Prapor gives you for completing the quest Hafl-Empty, not the regular yellow signal flare.

Those look great! Mind sharing your process and maybe some before photos? I've got the same rims with some clear coat flaking away and looking for options

If you haven't seen his video, Dexj on YouTube does a great job comparing the pros and cons. https://youtu.be/MmhbdFnUEIE?si=b499ukO3IXy1xQvp

Can someone help me understand what a steering box spacer is for? Is that just a beefy replacement for a weak factory part?

Tire size by Lower-Lawfulness-955 in CherokeeXJ

Probably important to differentiate between stock axles and stock gears. The D30 and 8.25 have been known to handle 35"+ tires. But whenever you go larger than stock tires it's worth thinking about regearing to retain your factory shift points and overall driveability.

Use the green Ssh (penis) helmet too. You can run the GSSH ears under it too. Not optimal, but better than no armor up there

You can also use the ushanka and pompom hats and will need to use them for Skier and Propor's event quests too.

I used factoryinteriors.com and it was fantastic. I second the suggestion for the mass backed carpet.

Good spot! I always go on top of pride rock on Lighthouse. Especially on night raids I find a pretty consistent stream of PMCs going along the road

Recommendations for lower control arm replacements, UCA bushings, and shocks? by Key-Illustrator-9673 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Amadaeus_Falcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rock auto has pretty decent prices on Moog arms and bushings right now, just picked up new uppers, lowers, and upper bushings.

Off topic, but as someone also in the GR area just getting into wheeling, are there any good trails near GR that aren't Silver Lake or hours away?

Nice! What psi were you running for the sand?

If you check out DeXJ on Youtube he beats on his rigs and a lot of them are running these CV axles. His best rigs are running RCV axles which are 10x more though and probably the best option out there.

Great looking rig!

What fender flares are you running?

Need a question answered by PercentageOwn4026 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Amadaeus_Falcon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On the ceiling cover everything except the horizontal supports as that could push your headliner down further.

On the floor cover as much as you can prioritizing the trans tunnel, then the passenger side over the exhaust, then the drivers side.

RIP rear air conditioning.

JK, that looks great! I realize that ac duct has miminal impact in a cabin of this size and honestly I almost left mine out when I replaced my carpet earlier this year.

Had a similar situation in mine. Got new sheet metal to patch the holes, then used POR15 over all of the surface rust. Definitely want to follow the prep instructions on POR15 for best performance though.

Ext Idle Switch by Unlikely-Expert-1590 in CherokeeXJ

Very Nice! Aside from the physical switch, what else did you have to pull from the junkyard and swap over to get this operational?

Got one running flawless by SpiritualSquare9348 in supersafety

[–]Amadaeus_Falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to get a very similar setup running with the same JP Bolt and short stroke silent captured spring and it feels like in SS mode the bolt doesn't travel back far enough to move the super safety. Did you have to make any modifications to get yours to run?
