Got to get my winch bumper on from my brown Montero. Seems the frame rails are wider on the V6 then the 4cyl? Have a snorkel coming from Ebay. Got some LWB spring and new shocks for it but will have to wait to spring. 1989 Raider V6/MT 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD Turbo Diesel Re: New toys for the Raider [Re: Monty] #1066296 11/17/13 05:39 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 16,227 Bay Area, CA off-roader Web Wheeler Quote Fixed the rotted fuel line and put my rack on with some new LED lights.

The new springs are easy to put on with just a floor jack & basic tools. Good time to also remove your rear antis way bar iAd well... So long as you don't drive like an idiot and have a good feel of your vehicle dynamics, you should be fine with it off.

It just cleared cleared customs should be here on the 19th. Was going to get the safari snorkel but the price was just not in my Budget. Yea the springs are not that hard of a job, but don't have room in my garage to do the job, so I don't feel like being in the cold and laying in the dirt driveway <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> The sway bar are going in the scape pile Last edited by Monty; 11/17/13 05:52 PM.

There really is only a minimal difference in the width across the frame horns on the 4- and 6-cyl Gen I frames. The 4-cyl uses a more straightforward piece for the bumper mount. The 6-cyl frame has a more complex piece to achieve the same purpose. I can provide measurements if needed. 6-cyl: 4-cyl: 1987 Raider - Roxy 1988 Mighty Max 2.6L Turbo - Pearl 1997 Mountaineer V8 - Freddy 2000 Excursion V10 - Freya Re: New toys for the Raider [Re: rxinhed] #1066299 11/17/13 07:48 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 16,227 Bay Area, CA off-roader Web Wheeler Quote 6-cyl: Pretty bad when I can recognize my old rig's frame horn... Specifically the damage I inflicted on the tie down loop. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> Off Roader 98 Montero with the Winter Package 89 Montero minty clean and reserved for overlanding trips or Cars and Coffee events 96SR (3.15:1 xcase, 35's) gone to the rust gods 96SR Build Up Thread Old web page Old web page Re: New toys for the Raider [Re: off-roader] #1066300 11/17/13 08:32 PM Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 7,458 Montero Ranch rxinhed Trail Leader ..and the blue color along the top of the frame. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Re: New toys for the Raider [Re: rxinhed] #1066301 11/17/13 09:30 PM Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 949 Mill Hall, PA Monty OP Rock Warrior Maybe I can get away with a little bit of grinding on the horns and bumper mounts then I don't have to cut and reweld the mounts. 1989 Raider V6/MT 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD Turbo Diesel Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
