Gotta love upgrades!

I can't really see from the pics, but do you anticipate any issues with damaging those grease zerks on rocks/stumps/etc. based on where they are sitting?

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I am looking for button style zerks for mine johnny, when I find some I will get extra for you. They dont stick out near as far as a regular zerk so they might not get ripped out so easily. Well at least by mud, rocks are a different story.  :P

the wallet doesn't like all the upgrades though Todd :( lol.

but yes, i foresee said issue you bring up with the zerks.  hopefully its a non issue. if i'm hitting something directly on that zerk i might have bigger issues to deal with ;)

and thanks Pook, get me a couple

So a quick update. Lots of work done. Just swapped hubs up front today, and put a few new part in. Running tip top. Thanks to dingmanand Fraser!

New parts? Yep. Check out the pics. Viair OBa is hooked up. Works decent enough. Finding a pressure switch sucked: that adventure led me to KMS tools. Best and worst store ever!

Also installed my new cat back exhaust from IRO with their performance muffler. I will post a sound clip. It's pretty mean sounding. Probably cause I cut the cat out....... Lol

But best mod.... My "may long fish cops will be giving tickets out everywhere" mudflaps.... Even mole lady would let these slide Ron ;).
Total cost? 7.99 at Canadian tire. Yes. They are floor mats lmfao.





Before pic for reference

Wow. Even more ghetto than most of what I see driving out of Hobbema on a daily basis. Bravo Johnny, Bravo.

They seem to fit the Jeep tho in a strange way... :D I like it.

That made me laugh but you're spot on Simon.

Don't feel bad John as I too have the removable-floormat mudflaps .

thanks buddy. i was aiming for that ;)
right now they are held in by screw drivers. i'll replace said tools with cotter pins of some sort.  only reason i did this was for those weekends when the 'mole lady' police force are out in force.  hopefully they just laugh and let me go.

although i like the advertising idea.  'this space for rent' lol

John, having those mudflaps will defeat our plan for this summer. You have already been selected as the CJA member that is going to take on for the team with the Mold Lady this year. You lack of consideration for others (shown by putting on the mud flaps so that you can't get pulled over by the mole lady) is NOT COOL.

Please re-think your actions - for the sake of us all. Especially the children.

So did some more work. Added hood louvres to help with heat. It was fun cutting up my hood.
Bad pic I know


Also have some goodies to install after I'm back from BC should be on for show and shine :). Christmas in July!

might as well update this because i'm bored as crap at work and they won't let me drink here to pass the time.... lol.

so after a brief dunking in mclean mud, i think the jeeps ok again. 4 tranny flushes, oil change, bunch of cleaning etc. and its driving good again.

couple pics to come; snorkels in, efans in (although my fancy controller doesn;'t work so its always on/off, thats it) and front aussies in.

and.... thats it.  i'm done with it.
