got my gears in and hopefully will have it installed tonight!  Went with the color bc... well it looked obnoxiously awesome

awesome bud! I actually love the color... my last samurai was that green on the frame and undercarriage! with black on the body it looks sharp! hurry and let us know how you like the gears!

ya, i was hoping to install it last night but as it turns out, because i painted it, 3 nuts wont go in bc the holes are clogged with paint and ont of the mounting stock holes is just barely too small to fit the bolt it came with so i gotta go today and get a uni bit and a... cant remember the name but what rethreads and cleans the hole so i can hopefully get it in.  and dont worry, as soon as its rollin, you'll know!

a tap and die set... tap to tap the hole... a die... and i could be spelling it wrong, but a die cleans up, or re threads bolts or studs.

so after 3 hours of tryin to set it, pullin it out and trying to match the 17 holes it has, i only could get 2 at any given time.  Called up ZOR and Myron said if i mailed it to him he'd set it in no charge.  So... went to UPS and they said it'd be 30 bucks each way, i gritted my teeth and handed over my credit card, and somehow i only got charged for a one way flight.  all to say 30 bucks is steep for setting a t-case in a cradle but its worth my peace of mind.

haha Myron is a good dude... he takes care of his ppl

thats the way it sounded

got it back and mounted in....  cant put the gear shift in bc a horizontal bolt that holds it in place was broken, always somethin....

Pink and green.  Your right, that is obnoxiously awesome. 

it looks pink but its actually red.  hopefully it'll be drivin by tomorrow afternoon, assumin i get my bolt in

Well....  IT LIVES!!!!!!  ran it up 40 miles round trip on a lite trail just to putt putt around and make sure everything was sound. 
-In 2wd it was great, 4wd made some weird noise, like the driveshaft was bumpin something when it was turning,
-While in 2wd and hitting bumps the rig would die.  almost as tho it was getting either too much or too little gas, it would then take 5-7 min of feathering the gas to get it to balance out which made me think it was flooding but im not sure.
-Speedometer works(the cable i replaced was melted thru) but the needle starts from about 3/4" below zero and then goes up normally from there.
-still no working gas guage/temp guage.
-all in all it was a great ride!  Definately need a steering stabilizer tho and some fender flares 
for 33x1250s is there a good rule of thumb about air pressure?

I think your rig looks GREAT! I am going through the same transformation with mine right now. SPOA lift goes on in the near futue. Because of winter comming soon here I am trying to geat as many weather related issues completed ASAP.

Tell me the name and brand of those 10x34's you were looking at. I am wanting to get as tall but narrow of a tire I can within reason.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Like you I have been busy.... I finished stage 1 of my front bumper last Friday. I will be adding the outer post to it this Friday. As well as adding a receiver to the rear bumper.

Then I will be adding a swwing away upper cage to the rear bumper..... Much to do before the snow flies..... Whew!

I run 25 lbs on the road in my SJ and 12 on the trails.  25 gets me quite a bit more power as the rolling resistance is a lot less, but on the trail it tends to bounce me around a bit to much. 

Are you running a fuel pressure regulator?
