Latest Mods - What was the last thing you did?
« on: June 30, 2005, 16:27:56 »
I have created this thread for all to speak and tell us what the last thing they did to there truck... Be honest (not routine maintenance).

Here goes...

The last thing I did to my truck was install two rear spring spacers (boring) and change the lines for braided brake hoses...

Would love to do some mods, but just doing my best to keep the old girl running at the moment!!!! For my birthday, from hubby, I had a new clutch, rear brakes and a re-con starter...and who says romance is dead!!!

Hoping to get the pipe from the air filter to the snorkel sorted this week-end, that's if we can beg some free pipe from somewhere!

Fitted some heavy duty shocks on the front of the motor.

If we're talking 'proper' mods, it was the OME 2" lift.

just put me some wheel spacers on the cherokee, and bought an SJ410 for playing with, that will need a few bits changing, but nothing that would class as a mod. Plan on a 3" lift kit very soon cos they look so easy to do.

I don't suppose your 410 t-case is for sale is it ?  :wink:  How much do they go for if it isn't ? I'm trying to find one but don't know how much they are 2nd hand ?

fitting the axles only took a week.
it was all the other bits that take forever.
my sugestion is to get all the bits you need first before you start the job, as waiting for parts can really hold you back.
