All I learned from this is that I do in fact need to move to Hawaii. Nice rigs!
haha...Hawaii is great if you can afford to live here. I just hate how much of a pain in the ass getting stuff to the island is.
 
Not much on the cruiser lately. I ordered the front bumper and contemplating doing a winch, ps cooler, trans cooler, and new radiator why I'm at it. Mostly been helping with fluid swaps and lift kits on other vehicles.

Not much lately on the cruiser. I have been refreshing the work b3nch and vice in the garage. I did score a set of slee lower arms and rear Upper adjustable for $400. I talked to slee and I should be able to run them considering I'm stall at -1.4 castor with OME bushings. My trail gear front bumper should be here tomorrow and my 4xrlabs should Ship out this week of the next.

I saw those control arms on c.l. for awhile, good deal

I know....I wasn't gonna get them initially but figured I was gonna end up in the 4in range at some point anyway. Did ya get my text about the pwr steering pump?
 
Finnaly got my Trail gear front bumper and I'm 100% happy with it. I will be adding to plates to make it look a bit better. Then I will be adding some light mount tabs and such.

I got to test out how stout the new bumper is about two days after I put it on. A girl backed into it. Not even a scratch in the paint. Her tailgate looked worse in person. I felt kinda bad for her.

I also picked up a badlands 12,000 for super cheap. It needs some rehab and some paint but it works well.

Got rid or some rust and got some new paint,grease, and rt to seal things up. I'm still not sure on the red but oh well. I'm gonna spool it later. Decided to see where the tick my Jeep was making was coming from.....found it....DS exhaust manifold. $120 later it is fixed.

Haven't posted in a bit. Along with the winch I added mount tabs for lights and top plate on the front bumper. My number officially shipped out from 4x4labs at the beginning of the week and should be here by the of next week. And I also decided to do the charcoal canister mod with the vc120. Pulled the mount out, widended it a bit and re drilled the lower holes. Plugged the bottom return line and it looks factory. I also got aroubd to fixing my

Well I did something dumb...backed into a low hanging building....damn it. Picked up a replament hatch (mounting points on current are torn) but it's in fought shape. Some professional welder attempted to patch up spoiler holes and badges..ughh. oh well. And of course, went to weld and I was out of gas. Now to do thin gauge with flux...awesome lol
