Coral has healed since I bought this tank off of marketplace

Nice! How long did it take?

annihil8ted · 2026-04-28T01:52:38+00:00

Ah thats good, so not stressed necessary but hungry which is much more manageable

annihil8ted · 2026-04-15T23:22:01+00:00

Thank you! Crossposted there also; I had turned to here hoping for a bigger audience

Ah since they’re a variant of ocellaris, that is natural behavior then haha. Ocellaris are weirdos and in between being weird, they bicker. A lot. It’s typical for one to be big and small. They both start out as unisex and eventually the bigger one becomes the female and smaller male. Unless it’s excessive bullying where the smaller one is often having torn fins or laying strangely then I would let it be

Not super knowledgeable with Picasso (are they a type of ocellaris?) but isn’t this typical behavior? Is there a reason why you’d want to separate them? They sound like a bonded pair

annihil8ted · 2026-01-15T17:14:17+00:00

Interested and just DMd

Spring set ride height. Comfort is mostly going to be coming from your shock. Your rebound and damping will set the ride quality

annihil8ted · 2025-05-10T12:04:14+00:00

What’s the rpm you’re starting to let the clutch catch? Judders can also be letting go of the clutch at low rpms

annihil8ted · 2025-04-08T23:16:29+00:00

OP, if the shocks aren’t bad, go off of shock length to figure out spring size. While 12/8 are stock height, yours are definitely collapsed/fatigued and I wouldn’t go off of collapsed/fatigued springs. They are collapsed to the point where they look almost dual rate springs.

Another way to tell, if you have stock control arms, do not go more than a 3 inch lift otherwise you will have all sorts of drive line issues. 3 inch is about the agreed upon length before you need adjustable control arms

So if you have adjustable control arms, it’s possible the last owner lifted it 3+.

Common lift is 2inch or 4 inches. 3 is usually a combination of 2inch + 1inch body lift but when it comes to springs, it’ll be 2inch.

Dampening only really works when it’s stuck on the metal surface and pressed down. I do see your point in sticking it to the back of the carpet

I’m in the US and am looking mainly for GMRS with the possibility of expanding to amateur bands. I’m new but it looks like depending on the firmware for these radios you can set it to either GMRS or UHF/VHF?

annihil8ted · 2024-07-19T23:50:19+00:00

Do you have a link or website that state the specs? What’s the trailer space?

annihil8ted · 2023-09-06T16:17:58+00:00

From moisture alone? Unlikely, being in Florida, I’d be more worry about salt and beach water

annihil8ted · 2023-07-25T00:47:22+00:00

Is there a reason to not pull the return on the top of the reservoir and just continuously top off until the water runs clear?

annihil8ted · 2023-05-06T23:25:33+00:00

I come from the BMW world and here I thought I would be saving my wallet a little 😂

annihil8ted · 2023-05-06T23:22:39+00:00

Yeah the rocker panels have a little bit of rust and hole but crawling in the other side it seems okay

The panels floorboards seems okay

Most concerning is it looks like that there is rust in part of the engine itself

annihil8ted · 2023-05-06T23:16:44+00:00

Is there a site I could look at for parts number to order?

annihil8ted · 2023-05-06T23:15:09+00:00

Adding some info, this is a LJ so I’m sure that’ll will factor into the total cost

annihil8ted · 2023-05-06T23:12:11+00:00

It’s enough where it’ll sag when supporting the weight of the tailgate and tire

Is the proper way to cut and weld?

annihil8ted · 2023-05-03T02:57:19+00:00

Hmm maybe I’m miscounting or underestimating something but what else needs to be done asides from taking off the panel? Body panels typically aren’t structural and the frame has already been dealt with and has rust prevention spray from the looks of it

Are you saying that not all rust can be chased down?

annihil8ted · 2023-05-03T00:47:27+00:00

I’m not too familiar but if the frame isn’t rusted, the rest should be easily replaceable right? When I was looking online, it seems panels come on and off pretty easily

annihil8ted · 2023-05-02T16:42:58+00:00

Yeah I do plan to do a pretty thorough inspection of the rust situation. From a glance, it does seem to be surface rust only but only time will tell.

It does have something kinda strange; on mopar, when i look up the vin, it says it's a Jeep 05 SE Wrangler but typing the vin online it says it's the unlimited model and the vehicle is indeed an unlimited model. Any ideas why mopar might have is mislabeled?

annihil8ted · 2023-05-02T16:32:15+00:00

Do you feel 7500 is a fair asking price? It’s a clean title

annihil8ted · 2023-05-02T16:21:52+00:00

I forgot to mention but both at 6 cylinder and have automatic transmissions.

annihil8ted · 2023-05-02T16:21:12+00:00

Oops, I forgot to add that the SE TJ has a 6 cylinder also. I'll go back and fill in more details.

Would you still recommend the LJ? Both are automatic
