That brings us to December. My wife has always hated the thing and refuses to ride in it. I finally convinced her to come with me to the local off road park and promised not to scare her. Got her in the driver's seat, and she was having a blast. Now that I have her into it it, I decided I needed to make it more reliable and nicer.
My brakes sucked so bad that the pedal would go to the floor and it would barely lock one tire up. Needed to do something about that. Finally installed my ruff stuff disc brake kit and diff cover. Also did axle seals and wheel bearings while I had it apart. Since the discs used even more fluid I needed a bigger master cylinder. The best option I found was a 99 dodge ram 2500 truck with a gas motor. Has a 1 1/4 inch bore and pushes a lot more fluid through. Just had to grind down the push rod bolt about an eighth of an inch to clear. Bolted it in, bead the brakes and boom. I have real brakes now!
Also found some cheap relay harnesses on Amazon and bought a couple for lights. Wired one in so I could hook up rock lights. Just waiting on the rock lights in the mail. Hopefully I'll be getting those installed today. I think that about covers the last 10 months. I'll try to do a better job of updating this thing.
Next up on the list is saving up for wheels and tires. I want it a little more streetable. At 30ish mph it gets really bad death wobble. Need to redo the front suspension and get rid of the tired old leaf springs. I'll either get a set of waggy springs for now or radius arm it and put in some ori struts if I can afford it. I'm back in love with it and really excited to get some shit done on it this winter.
