Anybody got any? Post up.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

To some degree my Trooper is "done" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> Well they are never really done but now I am mostly fixing broken stuff as it occurs.

One thing I will be doing is installing Indy4x steel brake lines as I noticed my rear axle line is stretched tight on full droop.

The other thing I would like to address (but probably won't) is better skid plate protection underneath. My factory skids are getting pretty beat up and not really doing the job for hardcore wheeling. If anybody has any good ideas for a better t-case skid, and one that protects the oil pan, let me know. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Yeah same here <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />. The next projects on my trooper are pretty big, and I'm not ready yet (sas, and engine swap)

I'm going to try and fix up my 93 trooper this winter, I've got to replace pretty much the entire front end. So I'm going to covert it into the newer second gen front clip.

i've already got the new front bumper, hopfuly to be replaced by an ARB <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. But will work for now.
Its an 02 trooper bumper. I also added fender flares.

When I bought it..



Now..

sas-done
engine conversion-done
trans conversion-done
transfercase-done

still need to do the locker in the rear end, but my main winter project is to get more involved with all these trails closing down, doing a trail clean up this weekend with F.O.E. Don

Nothing exciting <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Replace boots on cv axles.

Well , a little birdy told me I am getting the edelbrock manifold I need for my intake , so then I can start fabbing stuff up for the supercharger install , still debating whether or not to throw in the nitrous kit yet , its only 35 HP , but this would be the time to do that as well.Other than that , I still have a few things to try and clear up on the truck and get done , just not a lot of time with working out of province and only home a few days every couple of weeks.

Well, I have a long list for the stuff I want to do to my truck, but for the winter this is what I'm gonna do...

1. - Modify the doors into powered equipped
*Power door locks w/ keyless entry.
*power windows.

Here is a pic of what it looks like... driver side 96 rodeo door panel.

2. - Finish modifying my parking brake, from dash to center console.
*ever since my eng. swap I never got time to finish it.

My winter project. Have fun in the snow and ski my butt off. My right now project is pretty basic.

I put a holley TBI on about a month ago, kicks ass by the way.
Did a 3" body lift last weekend. Last night after work (10pm) I went to my garage, 5 min from my house, and cranked up the front end with a little torsion bar action. Those bastards were stiff. Today I ground out and repaired all the rust on my rocker pannels. I then painted the bottom of Trooper up the rocker pannels about the first 1/3 and around the flares on the wheel wells with a herculiner esq product. Had to patch a couple rusted through spots behind the rear wheels. Then I painted my front Bumper, and grill with the same stuff, it looks really great. Tomorrow I'll finish up the rear quarter pannels and finish the painting. Then I'll put it all back together.

Hope to get some winter wheel'n in soon! Other stuff I'm hoping to get done this winter will be some manual hubs, safari rack, maybe a ladder, find someone who can weld and do up a dual exhaust system. That would be about it for now.

2" lift, tires, manual hubs, build sliders...snowboard any chance I can get. Oh yeah I have a ton of fab projects for other peoples rigs to do as well. Not very motivated since I started doing this stuff for a living. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

2. Fab up center belly up skid plate
3. Fab up oil pan skid
4. Fab up steering box skid

All in preparation for the RUBICON TRAIL in August!
