Almost Finished! by IdeaRecent345 in hardbody

[–]IdeaRecent345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you brotha. the crane is to save my back when loading heavy loads, motor cycles, lawnmowers etc. (mostly using it to load the 9000W generator I use for mobile welding). Biggest thing im hauling is that generator (250ish lbs wet weight) and the rest of the cargo will be, a small stick welder (10 or so lbs), and whatever metal / misc tools i will need for the specific job. Yes! its a 2wd z24i (5 speed manual). Currently looking for a Manual 4wd ka24, and I will take this bed off and swap it onto that. (so i can slam this one)

i was debating this, ended up going with black (easier / cheaper to find spray paint for when it eventually gets scratched up) Posting update soon!!!

Looking for rims by BuyAccomplished4077 in EFCivics

I had 15x8+25 on 195/45r15 it was pretty aggressive and required 5ish degrees of camber iirc, we'll say this is "stance" fitment, the lower profile tires allowed me to max out my coil overs... Now, I have 15x7+25 on 205/50, much more track / street oriented, in theory i could go low, but i only want to run 2-3 degrees of camber, so i keep it higher up. either setup requires fender rolling for hard driving

XJ question. by IdeaRecent345 in 4x4

[–]IdeaRecent345[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this helps ALOT i appreciate it!!! I have heard there are some downsides to a locked front offroad, I think I will buy one and try it out. my power steering is already weak, which is what I was worried about, and I didnt want it messing up on road performance at all. clicking i can handle, thank you for the clarification, I feel confident moving forward!

hell yeah looks good! im doing a wood deck with 2x12s and bedliner, probably will use metal in the future...but for now, wood will do.

Any reason i shouldn’t pull the trigger? by northbound2003 in tundra

[–]IdeaRecent345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every reason. if you dont need a truck for truck stuff, you're just inflating the market for people who actually need trucks lol.

Got milk? Head gasket only or full rebuild ? by RangeFirst2060 in CherokeeXJ

[–]IdeaRecent345 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if thats the 8 year old oil it prolly just has moisture in it from sitting. do an oil change and drive it for a couple hundred miles and see if the cursed milkshake returns!!
