So I'm trying hard to get prep done for the upcoming wheeling season and am feeling overwhelmed a bit. I need to install my 1" body lift before I can mount the sliders. This means pulling the radiator, so while in there I should address several other things:
1. Radiator and hose swap
2. Find and repair whatever the fluid leak is on front side of engine
3. Remove and possibly replace (rebuild?) the AC compressor
4. Install new belt tensioners
5. Valve cover gasket
6. Distributor o-ring
I also have lying around and waiting to be installed
- 4Crawler 1" Body Lift ($500-$600)
- White Knuckle sliders ($350)
- 4x4 Labs front bumper ($350 Bumper and Winch)
- Warn VR10-S Winch
Mt Zion Offroad in Dover, PA gave me and estimates for install as shown in the brackets. I would like to do most or all of this myself since those prices seem steep to me. Has anyone installed the 4x4 Labs bumper? Does it just bolt up or is this other projects on Mud that appear easy, but turn out to be much more complicated?
I wanted to see if anyone around that has far more tech experience than myself is available to help with any of these installs in the coming weeks? I can provide pizza, sandwiches and whatever beers or cocktails someone prefers and will always be willing to return the favor when an extra set of hands is needed.
