Looks very nice!

So are you eliminating the steam port to the radiator? I have heard that's not such a good idea.

 

[whiterhino]

It should not be an issue with me since the radiator is ABOVE the intake so air will bleed. I can always crack the line and bleed it as well and not have issues. Would it help? I'm sure. I know numerous people doing it this way with more power then me.

OK. Not saying you are wrong. Just interesting timing for me. I was over helping prep a Ultra 4 car the other night and filling the coolant system, where the radiator is rear mounted up high. The steam port topic came up and he said a lot of the U4 guys still keep it because it tends to do better.

Not in my wheel house so I have no opinion.

You are the second guy I know who is doing this WOD swap. They both look nice. If they had this back when I did my body swap (with a 20 year old frame) it would have been something to consider.

Lots of nice new parts.
RE the threading tool, what's the difference with that vs just running a tap in? I've never seen that kit.

 

[whiterhino]

Looks good. Don't be surprised if that spring rubs occasionally. I found that flexing in the garage is not the same as flexing under load.

 

[whiterhino]

My buggy has the same hoses. I don't know that it's worth it other than the bling factor.

I'll have to post up the engine cover I had on my YJ.

Quick question. Are you suppose to drill your high steer arm out so that sleeve fits through then gets welded in there? I thought ya just drilled it the size of your bolt, at least that’s how I did mine (which was first gyro set up for me so I’m probably wrong) I’m getting ready to 4 link my front and redoing my steering so if you are right then I wanna correct my mistake. Thanks. Great work man and top notch parts

I think either works. I just drilled mine and they lasted 12 years with no problem before I sold it. But welding in the bung with a longer contact area seems like a good move.

I do marine upholstery and can modify a top if you need it.

Where are you located?

 

[whiterhino]

I have been using the hammered paint for a couple years now. It works great for touch up areas. No taping and sanding blend lines. Just cover whatever you don't want painted and spray away.

 

[whiterhino]

I've never tried the brush version. Just spray bomb.

 

[whiterhino]

Are you going to have some protection for the battery from rocks etc?

I would not put the trans cooler there. That is the same place mine was mounted in my buggy and there is too much heat soak with not enough air flow. Get it out where it has cool air flowing through it.

 

[whiterhino]

You can see my trans cooler on the passenger side, basically where you plan to mount yours, only vertical vs horzontal. My cowl has vents right above the fan and I wired it both ways (push vs pull) and it ran hot both ways. That's why I ran without my cowl and hood while in Sand Hollow.

Consider your rear wheel well.

 

[whiterhino]

DIY field repair steering fittings failed on me. (pressure side) Now mine are all crimped.

 

[whiterhino]

maybe it was installer error...hahaha. JK JK JK JK. I guess I didn't think about that. I guess I saw PSC sells the kit that way and assumed it would be ok. Probably will re-visit that.

Actually it was the hose size that they sold me in the kit. It was slightly out of tolerance. But that is a lesson learned. It didn't fail till half way through the day on the trail.

 

[whiterhino]

Link to spring chart?

 

[whiterhino]

Getting there.
How did you break the windshield.

 

[whiterhino]

That's gonna be a stiff sway bar.
