How much for the J-mac wash, wax, clay, clean? You can really make SOME Jeeps look and work great! I'm thinking of taking the Hunters Point route. Where is that located again?

Some things are welded on, I dont think I have all of the stock parts, honestly I think it would be much easier if they would just pay me for the whole thing. Then I could rebuild and have something a little nicer built, I know thats not how it works but I can dream. Also I investigated more into it today, the noise is definitely my engine. But, I think my tranny is also gone since I basically get no drive capabilities now.

this does bring on the suck. hope you can get it sorted out pretty quick.

Installed the mechanical fan retrofit outlined in ronjenx's thread on the topic. Should be interesting to see if a mechanical fan reduces intake temperatures to a more reasonable level when on long slow climbs in 4Lo (175-180 F under 95 F ambient; enough to bring on a serious case of "pinging" and too high in my opinion).

The install required a bit of swearing but ultimately went in. Let's see how well it performs.

So you know a guy... now we're getting somewhere...

Seriously, it'd be muy bueno if anyone would be willing to lend a hand on the install, especially if they could weld (I was trying to avoid welding but sounds like its not possible w/ this kit). The last time I tried a suspension install was 10 years ago on my YJ, and something tells me this will be a little more complicated.

I was going to hold off on a lift till the warranty ran out but after messing around at Hollister, I realized how damn low the stock JK is. I figured a 3.5" would be a big help...

Here are the pics of the bumper install. Had it PC'ed at Accessories Plus over in Belmont.

Help would be nice. You're gonna want to weld those trackbar brackets before you pull it out the driveway though!

I can't stand looking at a dirty P.O.S. Jeep with a snorkel in my driveway.

Then finish the job.

Then finish the job.

I do have a nice new stock silver hood that could go on there.

He gave you carte blanche on that thing; do it, and charge him for it.

It does look way better! Did you use a heat gun on the emblem?

Fishing line to cut the double stick tape. Then some solvent to remove what's left.

Northwest OHV, basically "Bridgeport" off road park, it's alright. I would say it's a place to play for a few hours, not "cool" like Clayton or Hot Springs though.
