I have a brute series 8000lb winch up for grabs. It's in awesome shape, was on a lifted daily driver I bought to turn I to a wheeler so it's only seen some light use. sold the truck and kept the winch. It's too small for my superduty and we are going to be selling the CRD soon so I no longer...

My 245 75 16s rubbed before the lift. Not sure if going wider but keeping the same sidewall height will rub or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn man, people are jerks! My buddy had his yj stolen a couple months ago, they screwed up the dash and steering column, sliced the soft top, slashed all four of his MTs, stole the spare, and sliced the fuel line. We picked it up in a trailer park about 20 miles away with my flatbed trailer...

I got cooper discoverer atps from discount for about $600 they're 245s so a bit bigger and I'm out near Seattle stuff costs a bit more, not sure where you're located. They're a decent looking AT type tread, I've been happy with them in all road conditions. I'm running Bfg ATs on my truck and...

Looks good! I've become a fan of that rustoleum bedliner as a paint alternative. I used it on the inside of my 14' aluminum fishing boat and I'm impressed. I might use that to recoat the wheels on my truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the insight though! I typically mod as I'm replacing parts so I may look into the thermostat more later on. My main goal is to get this cel cleared so it doesn't go in to limp while the wife is hauling the kids around. We might be getting her something bigger in the future and I'm...

I've done it both ways. I painted the moabs on mine with silver wheel paint without tires without any scratching after they mounted the tires. I painted the wheels on my superduty black with the tires on and had new tires put in and no scratching Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I pulled all intercooler hoses, pulled the egr and verified it's still functioning and I've been tracing all the vacuum lines. My intercooler hoses are fine, egr is good... Well it's functioning, whether it's "good" is a different story. I've looked into gde tuning and will address it at a later...

Pulled the egr to clean out the soot and verify everything is still working. So far so good, jeep was throwing a p0299 low boost code. Traced it to a busted 3mm vacuum line off the turbo solenoid. Picked up some tubing today, hopefully that will keep the cel off.. Hopefully. Sent from my...

I meant turbo intake on my title.. Fat fingers and auto correct got me. If a mod could fix it that would be awesome, if not no big deal, I think you all know what I mean ha ha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, so the wife's crd is is throwing the p0299 code for low boost. I was inspecting my intercooler tubes, and I was popping the turbo intake elbow off and noticed it was completely rotted right at the clamp and tore right off. A common problem from what have read. I used a cheapo oreillys...

The spark plugs are a pain but with the right tools once it's done and you upgrade the plugs it's done. Especially if you're lucky and you don't break one. To each their own, the triton may be a dud to you but to someone with the ability to address the issues the 3v has, it's an excellent option...

Ticking/knocking was a vague statement. Sounding like a powerstroke is an obvious sign and if that was the case I wouldn't have let my dad buy the car in the first place ha ha. To simply say "if it hasn't had cam phaser done don't buy it" is a bit of a stretch. Cam phasers aren't that difficult...

I know all about the cam phaser issue in the 3v ha ha. As of now it's not ticking, he's only had it for a little over a year so there is no way to know if it's been done. But for $6 grand cash for an extremely clean rig I'm not going to worry too much about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
