Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

[Ddays]

Cut in and made sliding doors for the barn. One in the end so it’s easier to toss hay in and one on the side to let the retards out right into their pasture. Can’t wait for that the first time. Probably shit themselves because it’s something new. I’m sure there’ll be an update on that….

Finally got time to install the Baja Designs squadrons with the Sprinter fog kit. Huge difference in light output. I'm not sure why you order a vehicle with the LED lighting and it comes with halogen fogs.

More K-10 Chevy stuff…

Took this fucker for its first ride since 2008, almost side swiped a mustang in the first 10 minutes.

I put 75 miles on it and heat cycled everything a few times.

Had a few trouble codes; CPS relearn, O2 sensor, and torque converter lock up. I found the O2 problem, I put one of the wires in the wrong hole on the ECM (That’s what she said!). I’m hoping the computer wouldn’t lock the torque converter due to the O2 not reading, I’ve read that’s a possibility.

Other than the MIL, the slip yoke had a weep hole in it and it slung trans fluid on everything

Lasso that mustang, add a little more horsepower

Replaced the top on this guy recently. Now hopefully it doesn’t act up for a while so the Jeep can have a turn.

Got some more time to work on the van. Installed the sPod BantamX 8 switch system. (I know I know sPod). They did get bought by Bestop (patent company of Baja Designs too) a few years ago and aren't owned by the original dipshit. They also had the cleanest, OEM, looking option. Was looking at switch pros but the mounts looked terrible. Plus I've gotten to know the Baja Designs guys pretty good and they got me a smokin deal on everything. Now to try and find time to install some lights.

Does look good up there.

 

[jesse3638]

Does look good up there.

Yeah i think its the cleanest look. The color is a little different and that will bother me but I'll get over it. The mounts I found for switch pros in that same location look like an after thought. Plus a couldn't find and vehicle specific mounts for their PCM under the hood so I'd have to fab up something.

Maybe you could find some spray paint that would be closer, like a flat gray or something.

I have come to like the spod stuff since I started installing them basically once a week. Easy to install and use. Thankfully that jack hole doesn’t own them anymore and bestop does.

When you’re ready for suspension upgrades let me know. I do a ton so have some options on what’s good and isn’t

Yeah I've gotten to know the Baja Designs guys pretty good. They seem much more stand up and the new sPod stuff seems pretty good. I've gotten an invoice I need to pay for suspension and wheels. Im going with Kings, 2.5 coilover front and 2.5 rears paired with heavy duty devers in the rear. Also got a great deal on 5 Reika R35's in bronze. Was going to go with spacers but they cost half of what the 5 wheels did. So I'll try to sell the stock wheels but dont know what the market for alloy Mercedes wheels is.

Guessing you went with the shadow mark kit then since you’re getting kings? The Reika’s are nice wheels
