    Gravel in a coffee can

    I had something similar to this after going through some mud mixed with small amounts of gravel. When I pulled back out onto the road I could here it. I figured I was going to need to take the wheels off and have a look at the brakes so I went to wash it first. It was gone after washing...

    The libbys second tow

    Yeah, I was a little surprised to see it not sagging very much, but the tongue weight of that dolly couldn't have been too much... ? I've never seen the Borla KJ, didn't know any aftermarket companies really used these as a show vehicle.

    The libbys second tow

    Here's the first tow. http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32802 Just testing out the new DrawTite class III receiver. Here's what I was really planning on using it for. The car is a 1990 Lebaron GTC VNT. It's a Florida car so it's virtually rust-free...

    The AZKJ....

    Wow! I wish we had something like that here in Michigan. Is there a lot of places like that in AZ that are ORV friendly? Nice shot and nice KJ.

    Better MPG than I expected...

    I got just under 22mpg on my way to school today. That's with a lift, tires, skids and my new DrawTite hitch on there. Nearly all freeway driving, with about 12 miles of 0-30-0mph traffic in the construction zones.

    HOW TO: Modify a Stock Throttle Body (FastMan Style)

    Thanks for the extra info Atrus, a very good point. I forgot to mention to add some loctite to the bolts when you re-install them. I also used a cut-off wheel to cut the bolts down on the back, and in doing so the threads will round off and make it very difficult for them to back out on their own.

    HOW TO: Modify a Stock Throttle Body (FastMan Style)

    There's a shot of the removed throttle shaft. You can see where the plate slides into the middle of it. On top you can see where the two T20 torx screws set into it, and on the bottom are the threaded holes for them.

    HOW TO: Modify a Stock Throttle Body (FastMan Style)

    Simply put, for better flow/less obstruction of flow The shaft is a cylinder with a notch in it that the throttle plate slides into. So you have half of a cylinder on either side of the plate. You cut it to remove the front half of the shaft, leaving just the back portion of it (the part...

    Got the lift and tires on

    Thanks. My buddy is a mechanic at the Ford Proving Grounds so he helped me (read: did more work in 25 mins than I could have done in 4 hours). It was a breeze with him there plus the air tools.

    HOW TO: Modify a Stock Throttle Body (FastMan Style)

    It's still Ernies I think, I didn't really pay attention. I've gotten things from there before, so I just stopped in on my way home. I don't know if they have any more currently. I usually try to got to the u-picks, mainly Warhoops (lotta cool stuff here).

    HOW TO: Modify a Stock Throttle Body (FastMan Style)

    Hey everyone, I've had a few people ask me how I went about modifying my stock throttle body so I decided to do a how to on it. If this is your first time doing something like this it's really pretty simple so relax. I've done a few of these types of projects ranging from TB's to cylinder...

    This is what I did over the weekend

    Sorry about the long delay. I was out of town for Memorial Day weekend. To answer your questions: yes, I picked up the complete TB assembly from the salvage yard right by Selfridge AFB, for $70. As far as it dropping out of the power band when shifting, it's a slight improvement through...

    Got the lift and tires on

    Rusty's coil lift with OME dampers all around. 245/75-16 Dunlop RVXT's. The pics really don't do the tires justice. yes I know the hood is open. a shot with my dad's '96 ZJ with 235/75-16 Grabber AT2's.

    This is what I did over the weekend

    It's not a Fastman TB, I worked that one myself. Ported/polished, removing *most* of the bottle neck in the center portion before the blade. I left some of it further in so as to keep some low speed port velocity. I thinned the blade a few thousandths and removed half of the throttle arm...

    This is what I did over the weekend

    Yes, I did remove my grubby finger prints from it afterwards. It definately made a nice improvement from stock. I had an extra j-yard TB sitting around already because I broke the cruise control tab off of the stock throttle cable bracket, and plus, I've been wanting to do this. I've also...

    How many days ?

    ^ That sounds like it would be pretty cool. I've done work in more than a few auto plants, even got to see the new Grand Cherokees built. I'm really not sure how long the average time is, but I've heard 1 week to stamp the panels and assemble the body, and 1 week to assemble the rest of the...
