JLink's Build

Hahahaha

This is mostly for me, you just get the opportunity to see it

 

Dude I do the same shit. My thread is a place to keep track of and organize my thoughts.

 

Let’s see the deavers. How goofy does it look with no weight?

 

It’s actually great. Rides awesome too, so it’s making me curious how it’ll be when there is weight. They’re designed for 700-1000lbs over stock, and I just have my rear bumper with spare tire and gas cans. Don’t even have my toolbox in the bed right now.

Here’s my old worn out all pro expos with longer shackles and shackle flip-


Same springs but with hammer hangers and archive greasable shackles-


And now deaver stage 3 with hammer hangers and archive greasable shackles-

 

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I have well-used Allpro expo's as well and been looking at Deaver stage 3.

 

I’ll get some pictures soon, and I’ll keep this updated after I get some more weight in the bed.

 

Just ordered a new Doug Thorley y pipe to replace mine that had a hanger snap off and rip a hole in the side of a resonator.

The rest of my exhaust is looking pretty bad too so I also ordered a borla stainless steel cat back exhaust system.

I’m also getting ready to remove my sliders to get them sand blasted. The powder coat has not held up well and now they’re a rusty mess.

 

Did you source a shop to get them sand blasted yet?
And on new exhaust system....

 

My buddy has been getting some stuff done at car port in Neptune. He’s been happy with them.

 

Ordered my Deaver III’s yesterday, already got a tracking number

 

Nice! I think you’ll like them.

 

I took a before photo but forgot to take one after sand blasting and painting.. but the sliders are all done and back on now.





And I swapped out my y pipe and cat back. I’m very happy with the sound of the borla. My old muffler was too loud. Now I notice how loud my tires are though.

I snapped a stud at the flange where the y pipe and header meet, and the other stud on that side has fucked up threads, so I’m going to have to drill them out and get new bolts and nuts.

I’ve had 2 check engine lights since installing the new exhaust..

1 was an easy fix.. I forgot to plug in one of the o2 sensors.

The other has popped up a couple of times and then sometimes stays away for a while. Hasn’t been back in a few days. That one “can be o2 sensor, catalytic converter, air leak... etc” so I’m hoping it’s from my less than awesome connection from y pipe to exhaust manifold.

 

I also added a new light under the hood. My old setup was old and one light had already quit.

I wanted to check out the Baja designs dome light with switch, so I ordered a white one and an amber one.

I used the white one under the hood, and the amber will get added to the go fast camper, along with 2 more of those lights.

I also got to try my new nutsert tool, so that was nice.

 

The "big nig" lives!

 

Yea careful, might get a pm from Tcbob if you call it that...

 

FTFY - for those that might be offended

 

Not offended.

 

Wasn’t there a new build name after 35s...
