No wheel spacers.

Yes, Adham Sproat run’s it. I am originally from Monroe (just returned after being gone for a long time for work) and it is cool that I have a great shop right here. He put on my 4” long arm lift, trussed both axles and my ball joints, as well as many other things.

Picturers of when I installed my vents. While it did reduce my temp by a couple degree’s I was looking for more. I did a Ford Explorer conversion fan clutch with a 10 blade fan and HD water pump. The temp went from 210 at idle to 195. It’s been on the Jeep for a year and works great. My 4X4 shop...

Took another ride in the snow, tested the new tires out. They did really well. Cooper SST Pro’s MT 35’s. I like them.

$800 is a steal in Oregon/Washington, most go for $1000 to $1500. I was up one night searching on Marketplace when an add for a top popped up for $500. I contacted the guy immediately and a deal was made for me to pick it up the following weekend, I took my soft top off and drove 3 hours in 35...

I spent Christmas in Sydney in 1972 and it was cold and wet. Went back a couple months later and it was beautiful and warm. I really liked my time there.

Got a new set of tires for Silver Bullet, took them in up to the snow and they worked great (although it was not a full test of their capability as we were by ourselves). We did get out of the mountains prior to the roads home began icing up.

Thanks, the bumpers were put on when the Jeep was new in 2004 and the manufacture is unknown. The previous owner bought it to tow behind his motor home. He put a 3” lift on it and 31” tires (3.73 gears) because of the lift his wife could no longer get into the Jeep so he never did tow it. Once I...

Cold air intake for the turbo.

Put in a heavy duty water pump and a Ford Explorer conversion (fan clutch and 10 blade fan). I had never heard of it, but when my mechanic called the supplier (on speaker phone) it was obvious that they had done this before. The only time it hits 210 now is in stopped traffic with the A/C...

Mine does vent hot air, but I did do a mod to the water pump, fan, and replaced the radiator to keep the temp down. No more issues.

Thanks, good to know for the next time.

Cutting these holes were easy, cutting the hole for the cold air intake for the turbo a couple years ago was gut wrenching.
