About freakin time you did the 231 swap... you're missing a bolt on your motor mount.

Now go do some donuts.

How does that D30 truss not hit your oil pan?

[zj95]

i have huge bumpstops.. stop it before it hits... good 2" of clearance at full compression.. (now that i say that it will hit the pan and ill blow the engine....DAM why did i have to thow the Bad MOJO on it??)

How's the v8 doing with 4.10s and 34s?

[zj95]

just put them on today.....

my old 34's only measured to 32's.... GAY

but it did alright... fine for around town, have to push it on the hills tho...

it will still spin them on asphalt with the spool

[ILikeMud]

Cool, thanks man.
4.56s might be the way to go.

Also did that JJ conversion come as a kit. Like both sides?

[zj95]

[ILikeMud]

Werd.
Thanks man.

[zj95]

i like that bumper alot. very sleek.

thx... i basically just wanted to move my tow points up to get them outta the rocks

the bumper will need some reinforcement when and if i attach a winch to it.. but that shouldnt be a problem
