Haven't seen many Canadians with sliders... other than Renny stockers. Such a pain and expense to ship heavy stuff up here from the USA, it's no wonder. Maybe start a trend and make some RynJen Inc. sliders?
Dunno about Treadwrights in Canada... no dealers and by the time you ship them here it's MT/R pricing. (Unless you get them on in WA perhaps...)
Looked at MT/Rs and I guess you BC guys get a lot less snow and ice than here because even the tire guy upselling them said they sucked hard in our...
Mine shipped Tuesday and just cleared customs, hopefully about one week delivery. Called Marlin before I ordered to make sure I selected the correct USPS Priority International for the package weight/size - a bit more (70$) but no UPS hassles/brokerage and this service has been very fast for me...
Haven't been doing my job, been too busy in the garage! (Feel free to step in here ;) ) Noticed Mobil 1 and other Mobil stuff like filters is on sale again 25% off. Will be getting a M1-209 filter at that price totally worth it to spoil the Jeep with better than Motomasters.
And this is...
X2 on tires! (X2 me too...let the wallet cool a bit just in case)
Looking good Tim, glad everything worked out and you got clevis in the bargain.
Seeing as this thread has been jacked thoroughly several times (not just by me - but mostly) and it has so many reads... should rename it to...
:dancingpoop: Crap. No A-arms in the mail today.
Maybe next week...
Will probably use a spade drill bit to make a hole for the zerk - did that for my rear bumpstops so I could recess the bolt and worked out really nice even drilling into rubber.
Sweet. So I probably have the EVIC wiring required to do that project someday?
Actually bought this stuff on Ebay during the race for parts for $30 plus shipping. (Yay winning bids no reserve). It's all off an '03 KJ that was parting out.
EVIC goes to the end of the list for now -...
Between ARB install steps today was passing the shop vac and did the condenser... and found this electrical connector not hooked up to anything. Tried to trace it but splices to a big loom going back to the panel I think. It's located at the top of the grille panel forward facing, just...
Good luck at the shop tomorrow TC. Hope all goes well.
Got a bit done after I got in. More cleaning, painting and garage organizing for the space needed to do ARB.
Removed the grille, front fascia, and cans. For the fascia I did the final removal AFTER cutting the fenders so I wouldn't...
:happy175:
Nice. This place never ceases to crack me up.
Get a cheap little grinder! Use it for pretty well everything now and gives your drill a break for wire cleaning/sanding/polishing stuff.
Anyone seen any "above view" sort of shots of the cuts in the Teraflex? Want to try and...
Can't wait for my JBAs to get here!
So judging from the above, should probably cut a small section out of the Teraflex bumpstops to allow the balljoint hardware to clear and not get smashed too much.
Noticed some of you cut the pockets out of the recesses of well body... is this required...
Amen to HJ.
Although if I don't smell brake cleaner, degreaser, PB, mineral spirits or acetone for awhile that'd be nice. Perhaps Meguire's and carnuba is on the menu soon. (I'm sure my brain cells would approve.)
Was your driver's side lower pre-lift? Weird I think my passenger side...
(Man I cleaned off a lot of rust and grime for less Titanic and creek-parking look, hard to make this thing very photogenic - Will have to visit the detailing forum more often like TC)
Too much front for my old 02?
Just settled for two conduit nuts after looking around and then reading replies, they're right, there's no pressure really on them at all once the clevis pinch is on...
BUT - wondering if Boiler's shims and 2 conduits is too much to start with on my old beast...
Tom's probably right. I only got new ones because the retainer literally fell off one of mine and two others were rusted to sh*t so no bolt head left - holding the retainers saved my skin in removal. Where I appear to have had leaks, and a thick coating of grime and buildup - the one bolt and...
Welcome!
See you're up in Fort Frances! Welcome fellow Northern Ontarian! (Haven't been that far up 11 in awhile, but get fishing and hunting when I can with friends and family all along 11 between Kapuskasing and Thunder Bay.)
As a fellow Canadian, check other posts of Canadians lifting...
UCA readiness
Just needed a bunch of brake cleaner and some coaxing, good tips.
Interesting how the new bolt retainers are straight, not bent upwards like the original ones... no worries. Guess just be careful with placement up against the body or below on the frame rail putting them back...
Thx again RockyMountain, just removed the 10mm bolt holding in the fitting, but still not much give - will try messing around tapping it in a bit through the body carefully, might just be rusted stuck... like everything else. :disgust:
