    Rusty's Kit Installed

    Pretty good, not a street tire of course. Got the hum and I am getting about 17-20 mpg with them by driving smart and slow. I have a KN drop in filter and that helps. I was gettin 20-22 mpg with my wrangler AT's but they were a correct size tire so the computer is gettin the right info on...

    Rusty's Kit Installed

    Be aware that for 10.5's you are looking at major wheel well mods due to the width of the tire. If you get 245/75's then you just need to trim the air dam and use a heat gun to heat and push the front well forward. I have heard of 31x10.5 knocking non modded fenders off cause they are so...

    Wheel well mod with a heat gun??

    Well heat gun worked out well for me. It still needs a little more works some very light rubbing but I am kinda a perfectionist about my ride. Thanks for the advice about the foil to keep the heat away from the foglamp wiring. For pushing on the heated plastic I used a variety of 2x4's...

    Rusty's Running low on ome's

    He prolly gets a higher markup return off his own pos shocks or it just pride and he thinks his are better?? Maybe he figures if he doesn't have the OME's then folks will just take his. I would just order the kit minus the rear shocks and get either rancho's or the long travel OME from allj.

    Rusty's Running low on ome's

    He is FOS. If you peel the rusty's sticker off the strut it is stamped OME in the strut. I don't understand this. OME has a reputable name. Why would you not want to advertise that is what your selling?? OME is definately wider know than Rusty's. That why I bought it. I wanted OME. If...

    Time to start savin' for new arms

    When I did my lift I threw in a 3 ring clevis and I had an 1/8'' of clearence at full drop. I did some fender mods today and I notice at full drop I have contact. Sucks. Guess she settled in a little or something. Think they will last a little while but as soon as I get a hole I am going to...

    What is the diff between 8.25 diff and the towing diff

    So you can use 75w-140 syn in the 8.25 and it just pads it a little more?? The towing diff is the same it just has 75w-140. Huh, cool. I am asking cause I went to auto zone to get fluids to change my diff and I forgot my Haynes manual and they told me to use 75w-140 and then I checked my...

    How long can I wait..

    I waited about 200-300 miles. It didn't pull too bad but it definately handled better after the alignment. I would just go and get it aligned now and worry about new tires later. Thats what I did. Now I got some big fat 245/75 on it and it handles great.

    Pics of new tire on my renny

    On order from the dealer. Waiting. Just one set. I heard that two can cause some drive line harmonic problems plus squeaking. I also think I am going to get some extended bumpstops and I have to heat and reform the front fender well a little. Just some light rubbing up there. Probably a truspeed...

    clunk/grinding noise while accelerating?

    Mine was making that noise cause I had some how torn the cv boot on the front drive shaft. Probably with some brush or maybe a rock got thrown up there. I heard a quiet clunking all the time, in 4 wheel or not, and thought my tranny might be thinking about giving up. Then when I was down in Wv I...
