Old horse was quite down on power i.e no boost quick scout around reveled a wee barb broken off on the little vacuum valve that goes to the boost sensor. Ordered a new one stole one off the old 100 while it was in the mail and we’re back in business.

Nice contact patch!

Started an onboard air project. Using a mystery compressor found at a swap meet and some misc pieces sitting around. Plan is to tap the sliders as air tanks and have front/rear air chucks. View attachment 912192View attachment 912193


...via a tiny telephony device and large thumbs.

sliders as tanks is pretty good idea

That should look brilliant….looking forward to seeing that mod!

Looking for input on some parts. Need to replace the front wheel bearings on our kzj78 but the rest of the knuckle looks good. Does anyone have experience with Terrain Tamer? This kit has everything I'd need.

Although I’m generally leery of Chinese products, I have to admit this frig / freezer combo has been great. The hard plastic lid was not ideal as an armrest, but there was an easy work-a-round.

Installed a new, wooden gear shift knob. Feels like the first day !

depending on the setup they can hold a surprising amount of air in an otherwise unused space

Measured 700 times and cut once. Turned out pretty good and everything lined up correctly. Very pleased and looking at building a custom air box in the future.

Has anyone had any experience putting raptor liner over sound deadening like dynamat or Kilmat? I want to put on my floors and then paint with raptor liner but am concerned about liner cracking with times

Finally moving forward on the body swap, roll over damage repair and LHD conversion. Repaired some slight damage to the front spring hangers and got the OME springs, flip kit and IMS shocks on. Now for the steering.

I’ve not used that, but used Rost-oleum professional undercoat under the carpet and helped with the sound level.

Did a little heat gun restoration on some rather rough interior plastic I grabbed from the salvage yard.

Quite far from perfect, but considering these had likely spent many years exposed to the heat, sun, and elements, and I am pleased with the results. One example below.

Before:

Top half of part heat treated:

Close up:

After with a healthy coat of ArmorAll:

Final photo accentuates the remaining scratches; looks even better in person. Still very clearly not new from the factory, but not too shabby at all for a piece of plastic that has lived a very rough life, in my opinion.

Curious if these could be 3d printed.

Might be time to bust out my scanner

Rapport liner over sound deadner doesn't make sense to me . I put some decent rust protection under the sound deadner.
My concern is: Sound deadner usually is somewhat flexible. I don't think the raptor liner is as flexible. It might crack.
Also, sound deadner is not giving an even surface. You'd always see the seams between the sheets. I don't think raptor liner can fill that. Might look terrible. My 5ct Cheers Ralf
