    Trimmed front bumber....???

    Nope. They are there. Just really hard to see. I have the prototypes of the "high-transparecy" front drive train components.

    Trimmed front bumber....???

    I did mine to clear larger tires larger offset wheels than stock. Easy to do. Just tape off the line you want to cut with masking tape. Then I used a $20 electric 4" angle grinder from Harbor Freight with a cutoff wheel on it to do the cutting. Took all of 15 minutes to cut it after you get...

    LTT Extended UCA's

    The metal tab you mention is actually a 1/8" steel dowel pin. It is press fit into the ABS and the Steel. It is designed to hold the ABS for rotating within the steel collar of the control arm. It rotates the same way as the stock UCA. The stock bushing has a steel sleeve thru the middle of...

    LTT Extended UCA's

    After installing my DIY Frankie, I was having UCA to Spring contact at full droop (like when I would hit potholes or speed bumps) We all know that is not a good thing. So that is why I had requested a busted UCA from anyone on here. I was hoping to come up with a way to remove the OEM ball...

    Hi-Flow Cats?

    Easiest way to tell if cats are bad is to get under your KJ and tap on the cats with a rubber mallet. if you hear anything rattling inside, they are bad. Cats have 8 yr - 80k mile warranty, so maybe you get lucky. I had one replaced on my Suburban at about 79,500 miles - no cost at the dealer.

    OME vs. Daystar Ride Quality - Imperical Results

    Yes. Each of the plots was over the same "bumps" for comparison. Also, all of the tests were done at the same speed. I even did them at the same ambient temperature to try to account for any changes that heat or cold may have played in the results.

    OME vs. Daystar Ride Quality - Imperical Results

    Well, Regarding the shock change, the Ranchos in the Daystar setup were actually Blown. I found that out when I tore it apart to replace the springs. Did not plan to replace shocks. Went with Bilstein since I could get them here next day. But, since the Ranchos were blown, they were doing...

    OME vs. Daystar Ride Quality - Imperical Results

    Well, I have read a lot of questions/concerns about the stiffness of the ride of the OME 927 HD springs. So, I did a little scientific testing of my own. My Palm Pre has an app that can use the internal accelerometer to log vibrations, like a seismograph. So before I took off my Daystar lift...

    Why do they call them Soft 8s?

    I'll take a stab at it... 8 is easy. 8 holes. Soft - maybe the steel wheels are softer than aluminum? Rim will bend in extreme case rather than cracking and breaking like aluminum.

    IGGEE seat covers group buy FEELER

    They will do one any time. You just have to get 10 orders together at once. Your best bet is to start a new sign-up thread, both here, and on LOST. Does not have to be Liberty only seat covers. Could be for anything, so you could spread it to other forums to fill the 10 order min sooner.

    2007 Rain Stained Seats?

    I highly recommend Iggee Seat Covers. Mine still look like new today after lots of abuse and 10 lb dogs with long nails on them daily. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=382860#p382860

    Brushless Team Associated RC10 T3

    It is not recommended to run 3S by Castle for the 7700, but many have and do run them with no problems. Just have to keep an eye on motor temp. Not sure what gears are in it right now. Probably 17/48. I have pinions from 12-26 though. Just change them out depending on the conditions...

    Heads-Up for Muffler Installs

    LOL. I meant that I have never had any problems either. A year and a half, and mine is just fine. I have never had any exhaust accumulation or odor issues.

    Brushless Team Associated RC10 T3

    I am selling my remote control T3 stadium truck. It comes with the baja bug body shown in the pics. This is a smoking fast car/truck. It will run around 45 MPH with the NiMH batteries I ran in it. Even faster if you get LiPo batteries for it. It has the Castle Creations Mamba Max ESC...

    back up lights

    I just got a set of $10 fog lights from Harbor Freight. I only needed one for backing out of my s-curved driveway. Took all of 15 minutes to install and tie into the reverse light wiring. Excuse the poor lighting/picture. It was almost dark when I read your post and ran out to take a quick...
