Recharged my A/C system. Had planned to convert to 134A but previous owner had already done that at some point so I evacuated the system and pulled a vacuum. Ran a leak check. Installed some dye into the system and recharged.

I beefed up my ARB tow mounts which are a joke for a offoad bumper. Did some cutting and added a custom 3/8" steel plate cut to fit. Should work great. Got to ditch my factory tow points. Saved like 4" in clearance ditching those oem ones.

 

[shockervang]

Scrowley you have any pictures? I plan to do the same thing on mine.

 

[NLXTACY]

I'm sure someone else heavily modified their ARB on here as well and added beefy as hell tow points. Gotta remember, who...

Replaced a completely failed rear motor mount.

and finally took out the huge lift, and replaced them with 0" lift OME's

Paid $90 to get the A/C charged up. No leaks no problems!! The auto climate control works great.

7 pin mod and a new diverter valve. A couple of easy ones that make a big difference.

Sticky caliper so did front calipers, rotors and pads and "while I was there" replaced left side birf with non clicking used one in my stock. And noticed a bit of diff oil in the moly grease so did an axle reseal and repack. Now have straight braking, no abs activity when rolling to a stop and no clicky clack. Overall very happy! Then tightened loose wheel bearings on rig and added a front spacer for my friends new auction purchase. side by side i guess mine isn't as small as i feel it is. truck that is. 315 vs 285.

Blurry cell phone pics for all!

Went wheeling today for the first time with my new setup. 529's, longs, and 37's. I was amazed. Didn't feel like I was beating on the 80. Way smoother on the rocks with a ton more control. Having beadlocks and airing down to 10 psi really was amazing too. Gripped like a geiko.
All and all a good day except the typical for wheeling in CT. I left with a $92 ticket from the DEP. CT powerlines have some amazing trails but really not allowed for some reason.

Did a full rear axle rebuild, replaced pads that at 164K I believe are original. Stops a lot better and no more sounds coming from axle.

 

[scrowley]

Scrowley you have any pictures? I plan to do the same thing on mine.

I have a pic of the piece I made and the final. I might even have the template for the piece in the garbage still if your interested. Fit great. Took a toal of 2 hrs. to complete.
