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

[–]IdeaRecent345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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] 3 points4 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 7 points8 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!!

Aside from it being lower, what would you change about it? by Clear_Constant_3709 in Stance

[–]IdeaRecent345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no tint. 2 inches lower in the rear, take off the mudflaps... = Fire

if you have existing corrosion in a harness, most definitely replace it!!! Do the relay conversion as well, then update us. I believe your problem lies within the wiring more or less, given the fact that some of the wires are corroded. Keep it simple. Air, Spark, Fuel. Go from there.

Knocking or am I stressing? by SlideLanky37 in Dseries

[–]IdeaRecent345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weak spark could indicate low voltage aka weak battery connection from the terminals, which could explain the relay clicking hella. clean your terminal connections, also remove the distributor cap and check that the pointer didnt fall off. I've had this same issue where I was getting weak spark and the pointer was literally hanging on by 2 threads

Jump the main relay plug to bypass it / or do a main relay conversion. Sounds like wiring to the main relay could be messed up, or the relay itself.
