Out with the old...

And in with the Kings! Gonna attempt the upper arms again sometime this week as the ball joint press I borrowed was crap and didn't work.

I'm drooling

Nice meeting you today. Come by anytime if you need help wrenching on your rig!

Very nice build. Love the rear shocks.

 

[t4r92]

Very nice setup indeed!

What are your impressions of the king setup?

The ride is awesome! I have yet to get in the dirt but have hit a few pretty rough rain gutters/road crossings near my house that used to bounce me all over the place with my old setup and at 40-45 mph, if I were holding a beer it wouldn't be spilled! Should be even better once I get my Camburg upper arms on.

Per a request of someone, here is a few shots of the new stance. The front end is currently sitting at 40 1/4" from the ground to the bottom of the fender centered on the wheel and the rear sits at 40 5/8" measured the same with the series 80 Land a Cruiser springs.

Yeaaa buddy, that has to be a blast. I gotta save some more coin but it's definitely the route I want to take

Today was a pretty productive day. Got my Camburg uppers installed along with my CB antenna mount!

Yesterday I swapped out all of my fuel injector seals to get rid of another fuel leak. I was able to take it all apart and have it back up and running in just under 2 hours! Also I was surprised how lightish my supercharger is!

Installed a GoPro mount on my bumper this morning and took it for a trial run. https://vimeo.com/151327514
Gotta love some blower whine!

So clean! Absolutely love the Kings, would love to go to them one day on mine.

Supercharger whine is sweet... Also, didn't expect you to just drive off the road in the second video like that, haha

Nice build so far. I know you bought it with the jdm goodies but i got to ask where did that spoiler come from? The one from burtman industries is kind of expensive. At least for me.

 

[dmag310]

How have you been dude? any updates on the rig? I just picked up some Icon UCAs and am searching for some new coilovers now.

 

[thatoneguygeoff]

On the 4th I lost my alarm key fob so I went and had to get a new one and have it programmed. Well now my mirrors do tricks! The previous owner said they closed but was never able to get them to work. I guess it was a programming issue with the old remote. https://vimeo.com/173823836

Since it’s been soo damn long since I’ve posted any updates on my build, it’s time for an update. Last March I got a CBI rear plate bumper with the swing out spare and gas cans mount, a Smittybilt XRC 9500 winch, and an ARB Twin air compressor. I also added a Blue Seas system 12 bank fuse panel for future gadgets and a power pole which I mounted to my firewall to get some wires off of the battery terminal.
