    Worth every penny then. I just looked at mine and I'm getting a bit of sag.

    Today was an adventure as usual. If you've seen my other posts, I've been looking for a new daily driver fox or Jeep Cherokee. Unfortunately, I haven't had luck with much on the fox side, but I have found a couple of Cherokees that needed some love. So today I go to look at one that has "lifter...

    Did the insert require any trimming? Came out pretty good if it didn't.

    Does anyone still daily a fox?

    Right on. Let me know if there's anything you could use a second set of hands on. I'm down south in Valrico. Oh, for the the gang, I still have the fox, but it looks like my daily is going to be a 99 Cherokee. I have love for them both, just found a decent body for a decent price.

    All I know is that Noobz did math in public. From the cave paintings I see, because my computer will not show half his post, it's definitely positive..lol.

    I like it. If we achieve 50% of what we're intending to do....it's a win. Wait, sounds like most days I'm working on stuff...lol

    After Coffee feedback: Been a good day today. I got to meet A91What and General Karthief today. Darn good to just chat cars and kick around ideas. I don't know how much we helped Steve, but he helped me decide on the engine management system I'm going to use. I've got the older AEM, where they...

    You need a second set of hands, let me know Steve. Besides, been kicking around selling the AEM and going to a MS3. Maybe you can talk some sense into me.

    That's the type of self reflection I've been talking about. Good on you Mike, and cheers to recognizing good fortune.

    Nope, the rationale is to have those gauges, I deem, important at 12. Shift light will keep me out of the danger zone on RPMs, and the AFR should be just a glance once tuned properly. Water temp, oil pressure and boost spikes, are all things that have greatly increased my mechanical knowledge in...

    Because one of your legs is longer than the other. 9lbs, 180, 50lbs are all about straight up and down.

    Just for GK. I'll leave the bolts out until I confirm lights and senders are actual working. So now it's just odds and ends with the most pressing portion being the tune. I've been working on a couple other projects, mainly the old J10 truck which has been affectionately (and rightfully) named...

    Sounds like you're already in that mindset. Good on you brother. Gauge pics would just lower your expectation of the whole build, but then again, no one has expectations...lol. Honestly, I've got the cage lose just in case one of the gauges doesn't work. Otherwise, I need to coat some items...

    Well, gauges are in. I've had a couple of notable days lately, so I figured I'd pass on what I've learned to the crew here. As usual, my thoughts, take them or leave them. So picture this, you're retiring from the armed service after 23 plus years and decide to get all your aches and pains tuned...

    Still recommend Boost Labs. Their communication isn't always the best, but they've got a whole lot going on for the amount of space/personnel they have. Regardless, good dudes.

    I received gauge cage shipment 3 of 4! It actually has the backing plate in the box this time, so things are definitely looking up. To my shame I went ahead and used the plastic oil pressure line and routed the temp sender line. Hopefully, I'll get it all finished tomorrow. I do think I'll...
