Looks great Charles.

Thanks Nigel.

Finally got around to the important stuff. Applied the Garrett decal which added approximately 20 horsepower.

That NAPA fuel filter really needs to go......

You are supposed to concentrate on my shiny new turbo decal, not on my aftermarket fuel filter. Focus Dan, focus.

One thing that was discovered during the Intercooler installation was the fact that there was no skid plate to protect the exposed portion of the radiator. I don't know if it was removed at some point or never had one in the first place. That situation is now being corrected.

Charles, all I can say is sweeeeeeeeet!

I am sure you are really enjoying that addition!

Now on to a bit of lift and some real TYRES.

We'll drag him up somehow......


OME 50mm, 80 Series 16x8 steel wheels and Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ 285/75/16s.

DO IT!

Portal axles, some 37's and a little body work...

X2 on this, though my choice of tyres would be something in a 255/85/16 .... And maybe a new locker from an unnamed source if we're spending Charles' hard earned $$$

Funny you should mention that topic (new tires) - thinking about adding some new skins for the Burrito. Mud Terrain T/A KM IIs....

Maybe we can convince Charles that his mileage will dramatically increase

BFG has discontinued that tyre in 255/85/16 and 285/75/16 (what I am running on the 74)

Still listed in 305/70/16 and 315/75/16.

Only my wife and children are allowed to spend (waste) my money.

Bastages! First the 33x10.5R15, now these! Fargin iceholes - to quote an almost 30 year old movie.

 

[cruiserdan]

Yup.

Hence my switch to Baja MTZs. I run them on two 80 Series and my Dodge truck.

Nahhhh. All we got to do is tell him they'll make it easier to sneak up on wild turkeys in the spring and we'll have him on the hook

Sorry boys, it will never have this profile.

I would however like to run the same tires that are currently on my BJ74. (KM2's 33x10.50x16) but the upgrade would require new rims.
However my slush fund is currently somewhat depleted.

33/10.50/15 has also been dropped....

Funny, as of a week ago, my local tire dealer said he can still get them. Go figure.
