What’s the cheapest place to get new bumper and brackets for my 98 2wd

 

Yea @Sperrunner throwing a thoughtful gift in the trash or on top of the bookshelf out of sight

 

Front or rear?

 

OEM quality or it doesn't matter? If it doesn't matter, there are cheapy type Chinese aftermarket ones. Maybe even Amazon would have em.
How about used? Car-part.com? Or local junk yard?

 

I bought a rear from Rock. I'm happy with it.

 

MAF is going to hate you

 

@Speedytech7 Did you upgrade your Z to use Phase II injectors?

 

Daaaaaamn. I'm selling. I have to. 80 series Cruisers have actually gone up in value. Maybe I actually could get 10k for mine

 

Hmm? Not familiar with that term. I have 440cc injectors from an SN95 mustang and some aftermarket fuel rails, just gotta finish wiring a new ECU before I can install any of that.

 

Well then you're replacing the original injectors with something better.

Phase I on the left. Phase II on the right.

 

Oh the stock ones in shitty shape and with 300k+ miles are the high dollar ones? Nevermind, I'm screwed then
Jk, yeah its modded.
And it's a 4x4Labs rear bumper, so it can't become unmodded (for install you chop off length on rear frame to get the highest and tightest place a bumper can be)
Speaking of frames, you remember the frame on your 100 series??!! So overbuilt looks like it should be under a F-450

 

Actually the body looks pretty damn straight. I went back and looked better at the pics. The seats are rough like all of em, but the exterior is really straight.

 

I upgraded the Phase I rails to use the new style Phase II injectors. I used the https://www.deatschwerks.com/ upgrade kit.

 

I'm sure he'd move on price.
I'm appreciating more and more stuff that is in actual original condition.
Yeah man unfortunately mine is far from original lolll

 

Front bumper. Doesn’t matter what or where. We don’t have a local junk yard.

 

Z31s are pretty different. They have big top feed Bosch style injectors. The whole system is similar to Bosch L Jetronic. I'm switching from the stock Bosch (JECS made) annular pattern injectors to the Mustang 4 orifice injectors. They have a better atomization pattern and flow more since I'm going to boost the balls off the poor thing.

 

Buy the cheapest truck and invest the rest.

 

Simple Green is a degreaser, it’s not a disinfectant.

 

Yeah, I'm amazed it cut the cosmoline off. I need to try that on mine. I still have tons of cosmoline making my bay look like it's almost muddy even though it's totally clean
