would it still be considered "Tame" with a full exo

you know that little "rub" ya got at TB with it was on a pretty "Tame" trail.....

just sayin'.........

tame isnt even the word i might have well been on flat ground, just my own stupidity trying to get in a hurry....

like i said with me you never know, if i 5 speed swap it i would probably keep it for a while

 

[Combs Customs]

do it, the 5 speed swap is so easy, once you find the parts.

 

[86 slo-vo]

once you find the parts.

that seems to be the problem....

 

[86 slo-vo]

havent done much yet...nothing really lol started working on my offroad hitch for the trailer

 

[disciplerocks]

You get them rims?

 

[86 slo-vo]

nah havent emailed them yet, pretty broke right now as i havent been payed in a few weeks but i "should" be getting payed up tomorrow...we shall see

i need to start ordering some parts and some tubing so wheels are down on the list right now

sigh...ive been thinking about my toolbox setup and how to get something that works better with some more room....to do so i need to get the stock tank out of the way.

i have a few different options, and since its me the cheaper the better.

my good ole buddy railman just happened to leave a 87-90 yj 15 gallon tank at the house...and by the looks of things i think it will work how i want the only problem is there was no fuel sender which holds the pump and after an hour or 2 of searching the cheepest ive found is about $150 for a new one with a pump or 100 without the pump.

the pump is easy i just need the sender, but if i could find one complete that would be fine by me...anybody know where i could find one?

managed to pick me up a 130a alternator this morning for a nice $18 dollars

ill test it tomarrow and toss it on

 

[86 slo-vo]

damn my thread was on the 3rd page so i knew it was time to do something....

swapped in a 130a alt i picked up at the yard saturday, was off a 90ish f250 with a non turbo 7.3 it had the correct bolt pattern 6 rib pulley and the right connections so it dropped right in, took all of 5 minutes.

130 on left and stock 95 on right...

 

[disciplerocks]

Looks good. I need to find me one of those.

 

[RangerSVT]

That's a powerstroke altenator (95+) as the older IDI 7.3L's have a completely different bolt pattern and are V-ribs...
