I love those wheels, but I don't think you can get them in 15's. Those would look sweet in gunmetal/magnesium. |

Thanks guys! Finding wheels I liked was tough. Unfortunately JKs have shifted the market heavy to 5 on 5" bolt patterns. I do like the ones I picked out, they look like Hutchison beadlocks without the $500/pc price tag. Although, if I had the cash, I would scoop up a set in a heartbeat. |

Those hutchinson's? 17" beadlocks are on my list, and I like these a lot. But there are other contenders on my list. |

I was designing a winch bumper and getting close to something I liked, then I hung out with you guys one too many times, now I need to redesign it for an 8274 instead of my Warn XD9000i. I got a good lead on a rebuild M8274, so while I wait for that to make it's way from MI to CO, I decided to press forward with something else that needed to get done. Hopefully I can put a few of these components together and make something useful... by , on Flickr |

I don't know if you follow Road Kill or Freiberger's YouTube stuff, but they did a carb vs. bolt on EFI like above, EFI won. |

Yeah, just re-watched that one. Makes me concerned about my dual plane intake, but others haven't had similar issues and they make better torque. Soooo we'll see. |

I haven't made a lot a progress lately, but I'll post what I've been up to. I needed to tackle a small issue with the FAST throttle body and MicroSquirt computer. The computer can handle everything I need for this build except it lacks the ability to drive a stepper motor style GM IAC that is all too common with aftermarket fuel injection. There is an add-on module, but I wanted to keep the system simple. My solution was to use a Ford IAC. The trouble is that I am now sticking a square peg in a round hole, so to speak. GM Idle Air Control by , on Flickr Ford IAC by , on Flickr It took a few nights to hammer out a solution due to the tight spacing requirements between the two rear injectors, but here is the general idea. by , on Flickr Here you can see the inflow shown in light blue and the return to manifold in light orange. by , on Flickr To create the maze of passages, the adapter had to be three pieces. I found one other build where I guy did it in two, but he was able to offset his IAC. Mine needed to be centered to work. by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr |

How come you aren't mass producing these kinds of parts? And I mean EVERYTHING you've made for your build over the last 8 pages! Dudes would be lining up to give you their money!!! I can see it now, "Digger Inc./LLC" now trading at 34.37 +2.13 +6.61% Keep it up, GREAT WORK!!! I'm jealous! |

I would take some low profile V8 motor mounts so my 351w could fit under a stock hood with a 1" body lift. When could I pick them up ? |

Getting ready for Super Celebration, I put aside the fuel injection work and got busy on some items I have been putting off. I needed a permanent tire carrier, rear spring retainers, Cherokee wiper upgrade, some security upgrades and a few misc fix'em items. For the tire carrier, I needed a low-profile pivot. I decided to build a tapered bushing with an o-ring to seal the joint and keep it pressed tight together so it won't rattle. by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr Mocked up by , on Flickr Ready for paint by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr ETA: Forgot to include a picture of the finished product.  by , on Flickr |
