hoverlover’s “there are many like it, but this one is mine” extra long title bs thread and build too

Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in!

 

I love that song

Always reminds me of

No response from Rock Solid Toys after they accepted my $177. I've called and left a bunch of messages and I've emailed Wyatt a handful of times. The last (and the only) email I got from him was April 19. I've disputed the charges. I'll get the FJ tube and completely delete the ADD.

I also need to get another oil analysis done now that the oil has about 3k on it. I've heard the Holt Caterpillar plant nearby will do it. I'll check in the morning. If they do I will be seriously excited to go by that place. I've always wanted to go check it out and now that I might have a reason to, I've got to tour the factory.



Other things to get done before rice season begins:

• Replace the busted driver's side CV axle (again)
• Replace the passenger side CV axle before the boot tears
• Replace the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing.
• Replace driver and passenger wheel hubs
• AC compressor bearing is howling
• Inspect the rest of the drivetrain

My clutch is starting to act up as well. It used to be buttery smooth shifting between gears, not so much lately. The truck is also accelerating slower than normal and in the lower gears I can feel the clutch slipping while accelerating. Suppose I'll do that when I get the FJ case in. Got any recommendations? Throw on a heavy flywheel while I'm in there?

Next mod I'm planning for, aside from the FJ case install and some other small things, is still the crawl box. I've been sneaking aside cash and as long as no surprise expenses sneak up on me I should be able to get it done in the next few months.

 

I had to fix all the plumbing in the Holt executive building. Bunch of yahoos set the fixtures. Wasn’t able to see anything else.

 

Sweet! I’m jealous of the crawl box. I’m planning one but I’ve got a long list before that time.

 

Didn’t you just order some headers also?

 

Yeah, they came in the other day. I’m waiting for my y-pipe to be done to put it all on.

 

That’s awesome

 

Thanks man

 

I'll be sure to take some pics for you

Is yours supercharged?

 

Not at this time, I want to see how much I can get it to make NA, then.... very probable.

 

Interested to see the results on that. I added a Banks header to my XJ and it made a very noticeable difference in low end torque. It'll raise the front suspension all the way up and squat the rear.

 

I’m basically doing my own version of the URD stage 4 NA package with tuning by a TW member via HP Tuners. My baseline numbers were right at 200hp, just like theirs so I’m hoping to beat their 250hp afterwards. 25% increase is about as much as I think I could ask for.

I’m hoping to have hard data for everyone to see. Time will tell lol.

 

I was just wondering about him too. Been too quiet!

 

Agreed! Come back, Alex we miss you
