    Thanks bro!

    Yea Ill figure out someway to attach them. I think the timbrens might be a little different but i gotta good plan to attach them. Im just going to cut the stud off the timbren plate and weld it to the RS u bolt plate. I actually don't have the u bolt flip yet lol those plates you see are what came with my timbrens. The RS plates look kind of similar just a lot more beefy. Yea i dunno why they dont either.. Seems like a pretty standard thing for most u bolt plates.

    Bone stock. For now.
    Man, you've come a long way with that truck. Looks like it's performing really well!

    Yea mine came with plates to replace the u bolt plate/OEM bump stops instead of just cutting the rubber bump off lol. Then the timbren mounts to the frame.
    My thoughts exactly.

    Thanks guys! It definitely did a lot better than i thought it would. Plus it made me realize the things that will make my truck perform a lot better. Re gear front and rear, rear diff lock, front lsd or diff lock, more skids, and bigger tires.

    been a little while since I've been able to get/do anything truck related but I just got a few things recently.

    Just got the OTR's & LBJ dr side (OEM) in the mail on friday. Hopefully my ITR's are ok for now.. I just ordered 4 OEM spark plugs and a 3/8" poly top plate spacer from wheelers for my coil overs. we will see how i like them before i order the metal ones. Next thurs/fri i plan on ordering a stage 2 kit from bamatoy w/ a 200 amp alternator. Then ill just need a new battery..

    truck seems like its been lacking power lately and it shakes pretty noticeably when I'm idling now.. When i use anything electronic the shake intensifies noticeably so i figure i should get a better battery/alternator & cables lol.

    nah honestly i think its been ready for a while and is just now getting worse. I got a valve job at some gas station a long time ago (right before i really started using TW :facepalm: ) and my mechanic just doesn't think they torqued everything down correctly or something.

    Is it a suspension click? did u check ur air filter and such after? mine got a little bit of mud on it lol (not doing that again.)..

    Just got confirmation that my CVJ's got shipped out today and are supposed to arrive on monday. New engine should arrive in 5-7days..

    eh i think ill be happy with my new 2.7L lol. If I'm not happy ill just throw a SC on there and maybe port out the heads and get some LCE headers. I watched a video on DIY porting and it looks like its super easy but just really time consuming. was pretty interesting. then i will/should have well over the stock horsepower of a 3.4L.

    Its basically a family mechanic. He is the one that has basically taught me all the stuff I know about car mechanics. Besides the stuff I've figured out on my own of course. Its at my parents house right now and i was just cleaning up the engine bay. I couldn't tell if my mechanic disconnected my front diff breather or not but i wouldn't see why he would need to. It had a little rubber cap on it?! weird. It also looks like where the diff breather line attaches to the diff (the mount) Was never attached? which lead to a few hard lines (vacuum lines for the steering rack i think) vibrating and are now completely rusted out.
