The Niner recently got:

-Stealthbox is wired up

Here's the pile of parts that I've got lined up:


Includes:
-Crown ball joints (Uppers and lowers)
-Energy suspension rear sway bushings
-Magnaflow 3" cat
-Autometer Trans temp gauge (full sweep)
-Caliper paint (to do when I do the ball joints)
-Undercoating

I'm still waiting on an Autometer narrowband gauge.

Now I still need to buy:
-Muffler (Borla XR-1 maybe)
-Kolak tail
-Lotek A pillar pod
-Mount for the sending unit for the trans temp gauge

My wallet is avoiding me.

looks like you got some work in front of ya.

your wallet is only avoiding you, mine is running away from me since i am buying a new lift soon

What is your reasoning for running a air/fuel gauge on an NA vehicle?

Gotta fill out that gauge pod somehow.

EDIT: I'm hoping to swap that out with a boost gauge at some point. Was thinking about a wideband, but I didn't want to drop the cash. Yes, a wideband still has use on a N/A vehicle, especially given that I'm running a custom tune.

Thats what I figured. Im ordering that pod pillar thing soon, and Ive been trying to figure out what gauge I want to run with my trans temp gauge.

Get a full sweep trans temp gauge if you do it. The half sweep is pretty useless.

I would fill the second spot with an oil temp gauge.

Thats a good idea.

I'm not sure there's much more of an excuse for an oil temp gauge as there is for an A/F when you're N/A. I'd want a much better idea of oil temps if I was boosted just so I knew I wasn't burning up the blower (in an oil fed application). Being N/A, I'm not sure I see something other than a failure in the engine to cause a spike in oil temp. If that occurred, I would think it would be fairly obvious.

I would want it for wheeling, towing or any other hard work in hot summer weather, just for the peace of mind that comes with knowing I'm not cooking my oil.

I'm probably not going to wheel this Jeep because I've got my Laredo for that. I also haven't towed more than a small Uhaul trailer behind it. I see your point about working it hard in the summer though.

[squashman702]

Installed the ball joints on both sides today and cleaned/painted the wheelwells. About 10 hours worth of work, never done the install before so I took it pretty slowly.

[squashman702]

WJ rear LCA's came in the mail today. I also have a set of fronts lined up. Are these universal or different lengths for front and rear?

Time to look into cleaning them up and pressing in some poly bushings before I install them.

This Jeep is now up for sale for $5500. PM me if you need more info.
