I cringe up here in Alaska when folks fire up and light out without a good proper warm up. I am a huge believer in letting the motor become fully warm before striking out. The colder it is the longer I will let it heat up. Block heater/Oil pan heaters are awesome when hooked up to an...

x2 on VCeX's comment on moving slower on the backside. It seems like in the summer months I never really truly unpack, until one day the OCD hits me and the whole mess ends up in the yard. Organization is key. Also layers. Lots of layers. Safe travels!

I've never owned one but I have always had a soft spot for them, I believe I may have seen one or two lifted throughout the years. Sounds like a good price to me, before giving them money I would do some digging into the maintenance history, AWD components, major engine work etc. 4 plus the...

Curious if you will go with Treadwrights again?

Thanks for the input! Good to know about the oem u-joints, didn’t know if there was a difference in quality. Also good to know about the grizzly as well. I had one on my last rig and I didn’t have any complaints, only unloaded a few times in 15,000 miles. For some reason I thought that the...

Fuel filter swapped out for a Napa brand, the filter looked to be OEM but was stamped with a big 98 so I am assuming maybe it was changed then. Either way after 20 years she was probably due for a fresh one. Also new Denso o2 sensor, and new (used) ignition coil module. Between those three...

Great thread, good information regarding the CS at CVT vs. Tepui.

Sounds good! Looking forward to the build, make sure to keep us in the loop on here. Good luck! On a side note - t4r.org (I am not affiliated) has a ton of good resources on their forums for your rig, i've been on there quite a bit for my 95.

Did it have a locker? Those platforms are wildly popular and there are tons of resources available for modifications. Any ideas of what you’ll start with?

Welcome to the forums and the crew!

Still running some tweaks on everything. Things needed addressing: change the fuel filter (we didn't do this and I think it may have something to do with lack of performance and mild hesitation) new pads and drivers caliper diagnose the knock sensor, did a relocate onto the intake manifold but...

Well, its been a little bit so time for a quick update. The build wrapped up a few weeks ago, fighting the dreaded 52 engine code (knock sensor) which basically throws the engine into limp mode, killing performance and mileage. Intermittent, but there. So back into the shop to figure out the...

Thanks JD! Appreciate the love.

Sounds like a crawler! I think the 5.29's and the fresh motor should turn those big 35's nicely. Good luck on your build!

Thanks man, all homebrew besides the yak rack, only complaint is the weight and drag.

Thanks Benz. Here’s hoping. Should get enough out of it to make it to a 3.4 swap, but coming off a 22re and 4.10’s to some more hp, tourqe, and a lower gear ratio.. this motor might stick around for awhile.

The mounting surface under the oil cooler is exactly the same as the oil filter. Save a filter bung from an old block and screw it in, tap and plug the line coming off the base of the water pump and good to go. Another hole above the filter on the side of the block gets a plug as well.

Can't believe how bad the valves looked and how well they cleaned up! Freshened up engines are a beautiful thing. Also, you can see the dual oil filter set up on the engine, looking forward to some extra filtration to extend the internals.

Thanks!

Things have slowed down a bit with the holiday season upon us, but emptying the shop out to start the motor build got us a good view of the rig outside the doors. Not too shabby. Motor is fully down, hopefully getting the lower end tomorrow. Cheers.
