This is that best place that i could figure out to 'flex' at, its at my local soccer park

and that darker picture of a incline that I made it over, and my buddies chebby which is lifted and sits higher than mine couldnt make it over. dont let that picture confuse you. Im 6'2" and that jeeps roof was way over my head and I had to jump to get in and out! haha


Edit: Oh and btw shes all stock...those shocks are old..180K worth of old.

So the first two are of my homemade actual 'cold' are intake.
The third and fourth ones are of my homemade roof rack mounts.
And the fifth one of the huge hole where the water pump going.

If anyone want to know about these please feel free to ask about them i will try and explain things as best as possible..I was going to make my rack this weekend but alas my pump died.

Oh and if anyone needs help doing a fuel pump just let me know I can help you out there. Ive done mine 3 times. Hahah Airtecs are a piece of **** but lucky im cool with the guys at autozone so they just give me a new one when i bring the old ones back.

So a little bit about me and little blue here. I dont know if thats what Im naming her but ill go with that for now. I picked her up at an auto action for a little over a grand..I had NO idea what I was getting into other than I knew she was meant for me. All I need is that she went into F/R and started. So I had a fun time getting her to start she wouldnt even idle on her own without someone on the gas...so right away I picked up a new battery and put it. She was like a crack head horse at first so i got her some new plugs wires the whole nine yards..got all of my fluids changed everything..& needless to say she runs a whole lot better now. I picked up a new cat, and turbo cherry bomb. I like it, its not too loud, it only grumbles now... So at this point I'm a little under 2k into it. And shes running good, my only problem is that i have a misfire on cyl 1 & 2. Now im thinking is either the injectors or the ignition coil; I have a head go out on my car before so i dont think its a head. and ive had no overheating..hell it barely runs over 210...like 200-205 i'd guess...so any ideas on where to start? oh and it only does it every once and a little wile...i gotta run but later tonight i'll post some stuff about it to give you guys a better idea of whats going on with it.


Btw anyone got android? what forum app do you use?

I'm so happy to now have a forum I truly belong too.


Thanks,
-Zack

I feel for you on that, leaks can really fool ya. I work on Locomotive engines and we quickly learned to always trace a leak upward, and unless it's a huge obvious leak, it's a necessity to have the engine running to tell exactly where it's coming from. A pinhole leak in one place can spray on another where it drips down and collects on another part still..

Very good thing. I didn't appreciate accessible water pumps until I changed one on a Honda.

Haha I'd appreciate one for the fuel pump. I almost cut a hole in the floor on my 3rd pump. haha but i got it do to just under an hour to do..with a skid plate and a drive to autozone and back..so far this jeep has been really easy to work on, and i love it.


I'm looking to get some "upgraded" injectors, anyone selling any?

Edit: oh my hood on my pass side wont always latch sometimes, any ideas?

Well I got some (6 pieces) EMT conduit today at home depot, for like 10 bucks. and used my stick welder and welded the ends together. I cut the ends to 45*'s and put them together to make square ends..I will finish the top aleast tomorrow and post some more pictures.

- Zack

Edit: What do you think about my weld? Dont judge its my first time EVER welding. And I know literally nothing about it. Learning as I go, thats how I roll haha

Just some advice from experience, be sure to wear a filter mask while welding. That galvanized crap can make you sick for a week.

well as you can see I got rid of my other mounts.. And I got a rubber bumper stop and 1"x1" square tubing, and bolted though them and the roof; it too some big peices of sheet metal. (as not the get the rack ripped out)

The rubber bumpers are too stop any vibration, and the tubing is too raise up the roof...Personally for less than 30 bucks all said and done and i cant complain. I just need to paint those bumbers black, so you cant see them. Its strong as hell, I hung off the side of it and it didnt move at all. (I'm 6'2" 165)

Feel free to steal, or ask questions!


well since uploads are taking FOREVER im done uploading for tonight, i'll post more picture tomorrow maybe,,haha After I add my 4 flood lights
