Thanks, AJ! It's been through a lot of different tear downs and rebuilds and steering & suspension variations.

lol You'll definitely have a classic then! No doubt parts will be even cheaper in 19 years, too.

How's the clutch compared to stock? And the pedal feel from the pressure also compared to stock?

 

[AgPete139]

Considerably better and grippier. Pedal feel is the same after proper bleeding. It doesn't slip when hard shifting or offroading. When i shift fast on the street, i feel it grab instantly.

 

[ricardo93]

Dope, where did you purchase it from?

 

[AgPete139]

Online at either Summit or Jegs. I compared their pricing, and I think Jegs turned out to be about $30 cheaper at the time.

Very easy install & straight-forward.

Damn, it's been a decade since I last posted in here.

I don't take enough pictures, and the pictures below are from my buddy's dash cam from one of the level 4's from this past weekend. If I get one of the other videos from another trail buddy, I'll take some screenshots. The other other pictures are from ~4-5 years ago, when it was cleaner and less...damaged.

Green Ranger has about 220k miles now, and it was time for a tune up. Drivetrain is still very solid.

Replaced last week:
--original fuel pump
--ignition wires
--spark plugs
--original coil pack (was still working, replaced for good measure)
--fuel filter
--cooling system flush (was necessary)

Need To Do:
--The ES9000 shocks are toast, so those need replacement.
--My shock towers need to be redone / welded since they are bent and my Deaver coil springs now turn inward.
--The radius arm bushings need replacement.
--My taillights don't work for some reason.

Wish List:
--Winch
--Flatbed
--Cut the back shorter and strengthen
--Front skid
