Installed new Granite Alloy wheels, 18X9 with 275/70R18 Duratracs.
Do you have aftermarket tint in the rear ? If so what percent
In the last two weeks:
Timing belt/water pump/radiator/alternator/Ts, brake booster, rubber hoses, finished coastal rear bumper and skid plate, installed dfg drawer system (same as dobinson but way cheaper) so I could take it to my property in the mountains. I have two water crossings, so my other cars are out.
I also replaced the pair of power steering lines that rusted and sprung a leak while it was on the lift. I just might have jb welded over some other questionable looking lines to get me by. Still need to do the gas tank/skid when i get home and order frame sliders. I'm waiting on a ladder to be bent by Brandon at coastal to mount in the other swingout space.

Had to replace the leaking heater core a few weekends back. It’s really tucked in there…
It is aftermarket tint, the vehicle was purchased from the original owner from Dallas, she was an older lady who rescued a lot of dogs hence the tint perhaps. If I had to guess I would say it is between 10 and 15%. Also, here are some pictures to show stance, pay no attention the driveway/lawn….I gave up on it this year!
Thank you! It's been quite the pain in the ass!

Lol! I’m probably one of the rustier ones on here…
Swapped out the bumpstops all the way around with Wheeler Offroad SuperBumps. This was way harder than it should have been. Getting the front factory bumps to break loose was time consuming because of lack of space. Had to remove the shocks bolt and slide out of the way and remove a little splash panel from the front of the control arm. The rears were a little more straight forward although the passenger rear bump was completely broke off already. They are considerably bigger than the factory equipment.

Replaced the spark plugs all around and the ignition coil for cylinder 1 due to a misfire code on cylinder 1. Checked the heater “t’s”, which are both shiny black with no cracking, (thank you PO). Cleaned off some battery corrosion from the bar holding it in place. Noted that my power steering fluid reservoir is yellowed and starting to crack, so ordered a replacement. Then straightened out an MT rock rail after allowing an off-road recovery guy to use my slider as a jack point. Which pushed the rail into the pinch weld at the bottom of the chassis and created a really annoying squeak any time the chassis would shift a little on the frame.
I bent a couple of pry bars, before coming up with this solution. This did the trick, and now I have a more reliable off-road jack and the knowledge of where to place it, to prevent the same from happening again.

My apologies, it was pretty unpleasant to see first hand. I thought I could be clever and take as little apart as possible. Nope. No way around it- pretty much everything from the center console to the steering column needs to go.
The War Wagon got its final bit of planned service—transmission flush and ASFIR skid plates.
I did the drain-and-fill routine four times. Fluid started out dark brown but not burnt smelling. Fluid got redder and redder each time. New fluid came out bright red out of the check valve as I adjusted the level.
Took me damn near 1 year to put the skids on. I was too impatient to wait for Dissent aluminum and ordered ASFIR. Then they sat in my garage for 18 months.

Looks great. I've had these in the shopping cart for a while. How well do they cover the cats?The War Wagon got its final bit of planned service—transmission flush and ASFIR skid plates.

I got my OME lift and Slee rock sliders installed. I wanted to get skids and ARB bumper on, but those will be next weekend I guess. AHC delete took more time than I expected. (If anyone needs any AHC parts, let me know!)
Well looks like static lift or whole AHC overhaul is in order
The shock failed, i thought a line bursted but looks like the shock itself had a massive leak in it. How common is this?

I imagine the pressures were in spec?
