Well I have been on here alot reading about peoples rigs and decided to start my own. I got a 1990 Standered cab with a 3 inch body lift on there when i bought it and 33's. I put in a new motor, tranny, clutch, flywheel in it in january and it now has just over 8 thousand miles on it. It is my daily driver so the mods are gone be little for now im think straight axle with custom built leafs that will give me about 2 inchhs of lift. Ill probably go with some 35's. Its getting a lockrite for the rear here soon since i destroyed my spider gears about 2 months ago and just welded them so i could still drive it and now my tires are about gone. Doug thorly header with flowmaster. coustom built bumpers cage rock sliders spare tire mount. build a set of half doors or tube doors. ill put some pics up in the next couple of days for you guys to see. well if you got any good info on what you have done let me know i always like to hear what people have done and what has worked good and what hasent.

The nitto mud grappler wears badly and the lowest rim size they make is a 17in, not to sure about the cooper. cant wait to see some changes to the truck!

twistedrunner · « **Reply #9 on:** Jul 02, 2009, 10:32:54 AM »

it depends on what size tire you get for the rim size im getting the 33 13.50 15

Well been workin on the truack alot lately figured i better get on and post some stuff. Took all the teeth of the spiders in the front and a couple out of the ring gear saturday night. So i pulled the differential out got another one from a buddy and decided to fix my timing problem while im at it which means i tearing the front of the motor apart so i better get out there and do it. Ill post pics latter today when im done

THK Matt · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 16, 2009, 11:51:31 AM »

replace all the parts in the front of the engine.

Oil Pump, Timing Gears, Metal Guides, Chain, Tensionor, Water Pump and Gaskets.
While its apart... its good insurance... cause pulling that crap apart is PITA as it is.

i bet that things clacks like crazy drivin down a bumpy road

twistedrunner · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 16, 2009, 01:39:13 PM »

No i put this engine in it april and when i put it in i couldn't get the timing marks to line up. Been trying different things and still cant get it lined up so i figured that the timing chain is off a couple teeth pulled it all apart and its floppin dead on? So none of the parts need to be replaced just need to figure whats going on.

So heres the problem if anyone has had the same and has some infe on it. It idles at 1000 to 1200, the mark on the harmonic balancer and the timing mark is about 70* advanced when i set the distrubiter to run so i have good throtle responce and have power, and it misses evey now and then.

u get a sweet deal on d-rings or what? i barelt use the 2 i have on my rear let alone 4.

THK Matt · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 16, 2009, 02:55:06 PM »

check your plugs.... check the gap on them as well.

make sure you have the harmonic balancer at 0* and the cam at 1-3*
then have the rotor point directly at Cyl 1.
then once its started.....3-5* BTDC with the diagnosis port jumped for ignition timing.

twistedrunner · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 16, 2009, 03:51:40 PM »

done it all of that already before i decided to tear into it
plugs, cap, rotor, wires, all of that was new when i put the engine in and its all good been checked many times

just about got it back together so ill be doing all of that and hopefully it magically fixs itself

twistedrunner · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 16, 2009, 03:54:35 PM »

Nope when i was building it a i had the two for safty chains when towing and then decided to put the bigger two on for pulling fullsize fords and chevys out when they get stuck...it happens alot out in the dunes

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 17, 2009, 01:06:42 AM »

yeah..... them damn pesky fullsize trucks...... $Beer Chug\'n$

BTW we cleared up all of the DTC codes and got this badboy dialed in

so we need to go back out to the dunes and see how she pulls
