@Sperrunner why is Tyler looking for a black fender?

 

He wants a cheap fender to put his snorkel on so he doesnt cut up his OEM one

 

No. We’ve been over this, Miguel. It doesn’t have to be the same manufacturer.

In fact the presentation from the CA BAR depicts a Jeep with a Chevy LS in it.

Type II: Originally Equipped with OBD 2

• All emission system configurations must be in the original emission control system configuration as the donor vehicle, including, but not limited to, the transmission, evaporative system, exhaust, and intake

• All of the requirements listed for “all model year vehicles” (Type IV)

Example:
2008 Jeep Wrangler with LS V8 Engine Change

But he also wants the cheap one to be Oem

 

Oh yeah , I had forgotten about that chick. Hot in cool nerdy different way

 

Lol beggars can't be choosers... Unless he's wise and just waits til the right one pops up... Like Hank Hill says 'You know I always like me some delayed gratification' lolol

 

Oooh...well I can understand why, aftermarket ones kind of fit like crap on the body lines. OEM is $$$ though unless you score a deal used

 

I don’t, he’s drilling holes in it haha, the paints not gonna match his Cali sun faded black and crippled clear coat anyway.

 

Yeah, even if he finds one of a different color and repaints it, it will never look like it was supposed to be there. I say go full send with a hole saw on the oem fender. Drink a few beers first to make it easier if needed.

 

Well ya i don't understand buying another one in general to install the snorkel, once it's on there it's on there imo. But if youre gonna do it then might as well buy oem if you can. Or see if the CAPA ones fit better

 

If he doesn’t drill holes in the cab he could always replace the fender.

I still need to install mine....

 

I don't think it's wise to use adhesive on the a pillar unless you're just mall crawling...and even then at highway speeds I'd be afraid of it coming loose and wobbling around. Just rivet the a pillar and get it over with lol. It's not that hard...just don't mess it up

 

You still haven’t installed yours?

 

Working the sovereign citizen angle to get around not registering it - smooth.

 

He thinks he well go back to stock after his snorkel

 

Lockers are less important if you have traction

 

I'd like to have so much flex that I never need to worry about using the locker lol

 

Links and coilovers will get you there, well a lot of the way there, still gonna need a locker once in a while if you're getting yourself into situations that can overwhelm a solid axle rig. But I've never had a locker while wheeling and been fine. Have two now but never used em

 

I haven’t been been home in months
