update on our last outing troubles. ok so after a roll of shop towels a new sock and some elbow grease I had the gas tank pulled and ripped apart and the problem was quite apparent.. think I need to do the tj filler mod and extend it up a few inches....... like a foot and a half. I had mud a 1/8" layer of it on the bottom of the tank from going in the sippy hole down in spools.. lol next time i will hit it harder and have protection.
ready to roll as of 10/04/14
well cleanned up the rear springs and put the extra leaf back in, was way too soft when I was out last fully loaded with camping gear. and the springs were saggy. so I took the second half wraps and switched sides with them hope to ballance this thing out in the rear...
after getting an Idea as to what I need to do to pull off a shackle reversal and keep it flexing with the castor remaining around 6* and loosing 1.5" ... basically a new drive-shaft is already in order due to the fact mine sucks. also need to drill some holes in plate to make new u-bolt plates gets rid of that truss... , and some ten gauge for the mounts up front and some small chunks of either dom or just pipe for of the shackle bushings ...
It was then That I realized my steering box was fucking wobbling around like a leaf in the wind (had the tires off and it up on both axles) needless to say I broke another bolt off in the bottom of the frame. out came the drill bits and taps and a day later after buying new predrills & grade 8 hardware I had it fixed....
So this brace I just built and finished installing may just fix my death wobble issues and save me from digging into the shackle reversal right away.... still in the works but I think I want to build my mounts, u-bolt plates, leaf spring bushings and obtain a long spline drive shaft and plan every step out before winding up where I am at with a shit square tube shaft again killing my front output..
got the used 99+ intake from the courier yesterday, thing is sexy! looks like the 91-95 fuel rail will fit in it. and already found a post about porting around the injector hole on the inner two intake tubes
also ordered a full remaned set of bosh mark 3 27lb/hr four hole injectors advertised for strokers for 50$ delivered they are for 99+ so they will fit the intake no problem the only thing is the newer style plugs change with the 99+ turnaround.. so a few searches yield some adapters for as much as I got the injectors for. A little research tells me that these newer injectors are much more efficient, and that they, although being from a constant pressure system, are in fact much more forgiving when it comes to fluctuating fuel pressures like you see inside the 91-95 fuel rail I will be utilizing. once matched with a hesco adjustable fuel pressure regulator (only available to fit the 91-95 fuel rail) this combination of injectors and intake should throw some pep in ma step weather its on the old block or in a new stroked build.
also just recieved notice that my header is on its way! oh boy oh boy! im getting hot to trot about this.. how am I gonna sleep for the next year?
wheel bearings have the tiniest play in them. so off come the hubs tomorrow for some re-torquing and inspection. gotta have it all nice for next weekend gonna go wheeling got three months insurance on it now so were good to go
if you are in glenora, headed up waters road till you see the island timberlands sign in a big empty lot head in there areound a corner and the gate is right there, you cant see it with street view
awesome
