The Insane Asylum DCLB build and XJ insanity

Yep, sure it. I'm obviously biased but it's one of my faves. I like how the design of the bumper hides the cut line, so no need to make it perfect.

 

And do them in body color

 

What's wrong with basic black

 

oh yeah I almost forgot this place is kind of cool

what does clock the t-case mean?

first off.

and secondly. at least the conversion works in your favor!

Alpine. I just ordered one I like it anyways.

 

I kinda have a silver and black thing going on. I’d do black.

 

Nodda Matt is just special

 

Clocking the T-case is rotating it so the output for the front driveshaft is up closer to the body. You just disconnect it and rotate it one or 2 studs up. Gets that part up higher and not hanging below the frame rails.

 

ohhhh okay, that's what I was thinking based off the continued convo. I feel like I have heard this before but cool cool, does anything else need to be done or changed? or just rotate it and good to go kind of thing?

 

Shouldn't I haven't done it on a taco but have done it on Heeps before. I just have to get under and look at everything but I believe it's possible. I've seen some guys talking about it and think a few have done it.

 

I mean without actually looking at it, I wouldn't think anything else would have to be done. in theory its just the case your rotating to change its position, as long as where the D shafts connects don't move/stay centered if you will, it should be fine.

 

BTW the rims look really good man!

also, a question about the BL. is it just a 1'' puck you stack onto the body mount bushings or does it replace the body mount bushings?

 

Just a puck that sits on top of the bushing and is sandwiched between the body and bushing. That'll be done hopefully not this weekend but next. Then I can modify my shock towers to sit an extra inch higher up. And hopefully end up with 16" shocks under the rear eventually.

 

okay cool that's what I thought! just making sure cuz I am doing it as well and I also have new bushings, I just wanted to make sure I didn't waste money on the bushing hahahahaha
jezus. 16'' shocks now! holy mac n cheese robin hood

 

Apparently I hit a rock or a bird at some point this week. I parked this morning and noticed I the lower portion of my grill is cracked and looks like shit. I suppose I have two options: A) get a new grill surround or B) SOS bumper because it would hide it...The stars might be aligning...Wonder if Eddy will take a trade-in for a freshly powder coated streamline that's never been installed?

ETA

 

Only he can answer that

 

He's done it in the past not sure what kind of deal he'll give ya

 

Need to think about it...it could kill my gas mileage. 80mi a day adds up quick on the fuel costs every month.

 

Well as much as you're adding and what not it'll hurt it any ways. Do you have the OV tune. I know some guys are extremely happy with it and I think it helped with the mpg thing.

 

Nope, want it, but too expensive. I could probably piece together a budget 63 swap for the cost of the tune. Plus mine runs fine, I must have a unicorn turd, because I've not had any of the problems like others do.

I get ~18mpg on winter gas, ~19.5ish on summer gas.
